Services for Clinical Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital

Both MGH’s Clinical Research Program and BWH’s Center for Clinical Investigation provide direct services and resources to facilitate the performance of quality clinical research, including:

• Advice and support to beginning investigators to help them design a study, locate a mentor, obtain funding, and proceed through the regulatory approval process
• Direct support services for investigators (biostatistical consultation, links to sponsors, study start-up and subject recruitment services, access to a pool of experienced study coordinators who can manage day-to-day protocol activities, and access to project management services for large or multicenter studies.)
• Advocacy for clinical investigators within our hospital systems, serving on committees and managing special projects

Our programs also serve as an interface between clinical investigators and sponsors. These programs provide the first point of contact for an investigator seeking a commercial sponsor or source of a novel therapy. Our educational programs strive to improve the quality and increase the quantity of clinical research of clinical research by educating current and future investigators, research nurses and study coordinators.
