Value of Engagement

As a UB-affiliated researcher or Buffalo-area physician, you play a vital role in advancing medical innovation and improving patient care across Western New York. By partnering with the University at Buffalo’s clinical research network, you gain access to a diverse portfolio of cutting-edge clinical trials — spanning multiple specialties and disease areas — that can directly benefit your patient base. Participation not only expands treatment options and enhances outcomes for your patients, but also strengthens your own professional development through collaboration with UB investigators, access to research infrastructure, and opportunities for authorship, continuing education, and leadership in translational science.

Our fully staffed Contract Research Organization (CRO) supports you every step of the way — from study identification and regulatory submission to patient recruitment, data management, and trial coordination. With experienced research coordinators, regulatory specialists, and project managers, UB’s CRO ensures your clinical trials run smoothly, efficiently, and in full compliance, allowing you to focus on what matters most: delivering innovative care to your patients.
