To accomplish these goals, the CRC will work closely with the PI, key study personnel and collaborating investigators, and other CRCs in the critical care research group.

The CRC will strictly follow the study protocols; participate in meetings, teleconferences and site visits; maintain study logs, forms and files, and enter research data into databases.
