The General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) is funded by the National Center for Research Resources, National Institutes of Health (NIH) to serve as a Johns Hopkins institutional focus for clinical research and clinical research training. The objective of the GCRC is to provide the clinical research infrastructure to investigators who receive their primary research funding from the other components of the NIH. The GCRC may host investigations funded by other federal, state and local agencies and by the private sector. The GCRC also supports a limited number of pilot studies based on scientific merit and available resources.

Major Areas of Investigation
The GCRC supports studies involving, not limited to, aging,  cardiovascular diseases, endocrinology and metabolism, allergy and immunology, psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and pulmonary diseases.  Personnel are especially trained to meet individual protocol requirements. The GCRC encourages multidisciplinary clinical research projects.
