Research Centers at UMass Chan-Baystate

As nationally-recognized experts in population health, clinical effectiveness and outcomes research, we have established two research centers that focus on effective and efficient health care.

Clinical Trials Office 

The Clinical Trials Office works to increase the availability of clinical trials for patients in western Massachusetts. Findings will be used to advance the delivery of the latest cutting-edge therapies to our patients. Our Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) opened in 2021 at 80 Wason Avenue in Springfield and is a dedicated space focused solely on clinical trials.
