Clinical Research
Today's research leads to tomorrow's care.
Novant Health is dedicated to the pursuit of new ways to prevent, detect, treat, and cure medical conditions. Clinical research answers questions and moves us forward. Our clinical trials help uncover new medicines, drug combinations, medical devices, therapies, and surgeries. They also lead to innovations in existing treatments and reducing their side effects.
And, you don’t have to travel far to access a Novant Health clinical research center — our groundbreaking clinical research is available across North Carolina.

Institutional Review Boards
Checks & balances for your peace of mind
Novant Health clinical research is governed by institutional review boards; each main research medical center has an institutional review board. Any clinical research we conduct involving volunteer participants must be reviewed and approved by an institutional review board. A medical center’s review board may defer review to external boards on a case-by-case basis. Each board’s mission is to:
- Protect the rights, dignity, privacy, and welfare of our medical research participants
- Ensure clinical trial participants are informed appropriately
- Uphold legal and ethical standards of conduct
Institutional review boards are made up of experienced:
- Physicians
- Nurses
- Pharmacists
- Other Novant Health team members
- Community representatives
