Guiding Knowledge with Compassion
At Boston Medical Center, our mission is to deliver the best care possible to better the lives and wellbeing of all our patients. Our interdisciplinary research institution is centered on closing health gaps, which guides the research we conduct across the full spectrum of scientific discovery and how we conduct it.
We believe that expanding the opportunity to participate in research is core to providing innovative, accessible, and exceptional healthcare for all. Building upon BMC’s history of partnering with the community, our vision is to advance innovative research to tackle our patients’ and the nation’s toughest health challenges.
BMC Research at a Glance
Second in NIH Funding
BMC’s research program is growing, placing us second in National Institutes of Health funding for U.S. essential hospitals.
170+ Active Clinical Trials
BMC stands at the forefront in number of open clinical trials spanning across disciplines.
48% BIPOC Participants
As part of our commitment to improving health outcomes across communities, about half of BMC’s clinical trial participants are people of color, compared to a national average of 2-16%.
My wish for the future of health care is that everyone in the country has access to services that address health needs holistically. BMC’s research is working to understand the basis of disease, uncover and tackle disparities, and develop accessible innovations for all.
