Research Credentialing

Research Credentialing Process for Non-UH Personnel Who Access UH Personal Health Information for Research Purposes

University Hospitals has developed a Credentialing Process for non-UH personnel, primarily emanating from: Case Western Reserve University, The MetroHealth System, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center and Ursuline College, to access UH Protected Health Information (PHI) for clinical research. This credentialing process allows for:

  • Access to PHI for IRB-approved clinical research projects;
  • A UH-based title (Research Faculty for Ph.D. researchers at Case Western Reserve University or Research Associate for all others);
  • A UH log-in and email account
  • Free access to UH-sponsored research training programs

For detailed information about how to submit your Research Credentialing application please refer to the Research Credentialing Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) or for more information refer to the Frequently Asked Questions page.

If you have additional questions or need more information, please contact David Ehlert, Director of Research Operations at 216-844-5527 or David.Ehlert@UHhospitals.org.
