Exploring What’s Possible with Research

At UConn Health, we are on a mission to push the boundaries of research and discovery. We bring together world-class educators and researchers to advance clinical research.

Clinical research allows us to study the safety and efficacy of the most promising advances in patient care. It helps us evaluate health risks and test new approaches to diagnosing, treating, and preventing specific conditions. UConn Health strives to enhance healthcare quality and contribute greatly to society through groundbreaking areas of clinical Research.

Participating in research studies is more than another option for treatment—it is a chance to contribute to the growing body of knowledge that might benefit many others. It is a collaborative effort of trained professionals and patients to discover the future of medicine.

Each project is approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure the safety of all volunteers. If you wish to participate, ask your healthcare provider about clinical trial options. We will provide expert guidance and assistance in determining the best Clinical Trial for you.

You can also access important information through MyChart by logging in to your account and looking for clinical trials. If you do not have an account, you can create one to explore your options, search for opportunities, learn more, and express your interest.
