Research Release Time

Research Release Time is designed to “buy out” clinical time for physicians with primary clinical responsibility so that a clinical or translational research project can be successfully completed. The goal is to have an investigator’s time and effort on every research project either paid for by a grant or with Research Release Time. In the Department of Pediatrics, applications for up to 12 months of Research Release Time are accepted on a quarterly basis and can be submitted electronically to Clinical Research Services. Applications must be reviewed and approved by the Division Chief and Department Chair prior to submission.
