TRSC works closely with the EOHSI Environmental and Occupational Health Clinical Center (EOHCC) which provides health services to employees within Rutgers Health . Consultation regarding planning of research and support of grant applications is provided at no cost to CEED members or those using our services, including writing pilot project grant applications. Staff time, including nursing and phlebotomy services, data entry, cleaning, and analysis, as well as cost of supplies more than that provided in the TRSC budget, are charged back to CEED investigators at cost. Costs are also recovered by inclusion of TRSC staff salaries on extramural grant budgets.
