Clinical Research

The Clinical Research Center is the resource for all sponsored and non-sponsored research activities within the Northern Light Health communities. Our experienced professional staff provide support to investigators throughout the system who have innovative ideas for clinical research. Our services include study design, competitive research grant applications, IRB submissions, education and training, research coordinator services, research project manager services, pre-award and post-award administration, data collection and database development, statistical support, and manuscript submissions. We also support all areas of clinical trial budgeting, contracting, management, and operations. The Center maintains a database of principal investigators in multiple specialty areas, and provides referrals to physicians for clinical trial research opportunities.

A clinical research center helps to enhance the quality of care that patients receive by fostering a spirit of inquiry, reinforces the continual re-examination of practices and plans, and it also serves as a recruitment tool to bring new and stimulating health professionals to our institution.
