OhioHealth is involved in extensive research to develop and test better medications and treatments and more effective technology. We are involved in several types of research: 

• Some research is initiated by drug and device companies looking to test their investigational products at a large facility associated with excellent clinicians.  This is industry-sponsored research.
• A clinician wishes to test a theory for patient treatment or otherwise accumulate valid data addressing a clinical controversy. This is investigator-initiated research.
• Governmental or private agencies may fund a particular project that addresses the needs of the public and for which OhioHealth provides an ideal setting. This is Federal and Foundation Funded Research.
