Research Studies
Research studies look at new and better ways to understand, detect, control and treat health conditions. There are many different types of research
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are conducted to make sure new drugs, gene therapies, ICDs etc. are safe and effective before they can be approved by the FDA. There are many different phases in clinical trials, and each phase can take several years to complete. This means there will be LOTS of opportunities to participate in clinical trials – both now and in the future.
