The CTO assists in the execution and management of funded clinical trials by providing administrative and clinical resources to our research community.

We have a dedicated core service team of experienced clinical research staff who work with investigators and their research teams; assisting with the organization, implementation, and completion of clinical research studies.

Mission

The mission of the Clinical Trials Office is to improve access to state-of-the art and novel treatments for people in our communities by providing infrastructure to expand sponsored clinical trials, optimize clinical research operations, and promote patient and clinician engagement in clinical trials across Baystate Health.
