Our studies: We have extensive experience designing and coordinating complex multicenter registries, observational studies, and randomized trials from concept to execution and publication. Our studies evaluate pharmaceuticals and biologics, medical devices, and medical procedures from pediatrics to adults.
Our research networks: We support clinical research networks conducting research in disease or population-specific groups. In some cases, we have provided support for more than a decade.
Our technical assistance centers: We work with national, state, and local agencies providing services that build capacity, facilitate policy change, and improve the collection and utilization of data.
Our faculty: We have biostatistics, epidemiology, and clinical faculty with PhD or MD degrees who serve as Principal Investigators on our studies, oversee and support studies, analyses, and publications. Our faculty represent a broad range of specialties and expertise.
