Atlantic Health System is committed to supporting its physicians and investigators in their search for new treatments and innovative technologies.

Our History

In 2012, the Office of Grants & Research at Atlantic Health System formally became the Atlantic Center for Research. Now sustaining the research enterprise at Atlantic Health System medical centers, the Atlantic Center for Research oversees all administrative activity related to research studies and clinical trials.

The Atlantic Center for Research strengthens the research infrastructure at Atlantic Health System through the foundation of an Institutional Review Board (IRB), clinical trial management systems, and implementation of a sophisticated training portal to ensure that our researchers maintain the highest standards of professionalism and research practices. Our research compliance and operating procedures rank among the most comprehensive in the industry.

Research plays a vital role in the ability of our hospitals to deliver the most advanced health care to our patients and is a fundamental component in maintaining our national recognition.

By conducting clinical research that addresses the conditions that are of greatest importance and concern to patients and their families, our researchers contribute to advancing the forefront of medicine and empowering our communities to be the healthiest in the nation.
