Welcome to Research at Advocate Health Care
The Clinical Trials and Research Offices for Adult and Pediatric Studies were established to integrate and centralize research conducted across the Advocate Health Care System.

For patients and members of the public, we offer a list of research trials classified by medical condition and by participating site(s).

For researchers and study coordinators within Advocate Health Care, we provide information pertaining to our research polices and procedures. Forms and corresponding instructions are located on this website for your convenience. We welcome researchers and their staff to contact us throughout any portion of the research process.

Sponsors wishing to conduct research within the Advocate Health Care System will find information about our integrated health care system, our diverse patient population, and the capabilities of our centralized research processes.
