Clinical science research
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) define 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 innovative technologies. Examples of ATSU's funded clinical science research include:
- National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Cancer Institute and Arizona State University awarded $859,359 to Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-ASDOH) for the U01 research project, Southwest EDRN Clinical Validation Center for Head and Neck Cancer.
