Research
Every day, University of Michigan scientists are developing the next generation of therapies for children...and Mott patients are among the first to benefit from these discoveries.
Our clinical research – the most funded pediatric research in the state – has improved outcomes for childhood cancer, led to better treatment for premature infants with lung disease, and advanced non-surgical therapy for problems that used to require open heart operations. In addition, our researchers formed one of the very few units in the country that conducts pediatric health services studies that shape state and national health care policy.
Clinical Trials
Qualified patients and families can make a real difference in the future of medical science by participating in clinical research studies. The University of Michigan’s Engage Web site is where you can learn more about clinical research, get answers about diseases and conditions, and find out what studies are available and how to participate.
The Child Health and Evaluation Research (CHEAR) unit studies the organization, financing and delivery of health care; quality and outcomes; cost and medical effectiveness; physician and patient behavior; and health policy.
