Research Resources

CHRI oversees department-specific and hospital-wide policies related to human subjects projects and research compliance. This page includes links to certain research policies, the Cottage Health Tissue and Biospecimen Research Program, and the SAGE Medical Library.

SAGE Medical Library

The SAGE Medical Library is located on the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital campus, and it is the largest such facility on the Central Coast. Our library offers a haven for focused research and study. The library is equipped with a myriad of databases and research tools and is staffed by two full-time medical librarians offering virtual and in-person consultations tailored to users’ specific research. The librarians assist with searching publications, navigating databases, tracking references, and preparing manuscripts. The SAGE Medical Library provides support throughout the research process.
