Clinical research is an essential tool used to help improve treatment and quality care of patients. At NJMS CRC we strive to provide our community with the highest quality research and encourage participation in our cutting edge research program.




Clinical Research Networks:

ACTG

The AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) was initially established in 1987 to broaden the scope of the AIDS research effort of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The ACTG established and supports the largest Network of expert clinical and translational investigators and therapeutic clinical trials units in the world, including sites in resource-limited countries. These investigators and units serve as the major resource for HIV/AIDS research, treatment, care, and training/education in their communities.
