Clinical science research
The National Institutes of Health defines clinical science research as a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety and efficacy of medications, devices, diagnostics, and treatment regimens intended for human use. These undertakings may include therapeutic interventions, clinical trials, and development of new technologies. Examples of ATSU's funded clinical science research include:
