Research Studies Accepting Participant Volunteers  The Clinical Research Service offers some of the latest innovations and discoveries in the field of psychopharmacology. Individuals eligible for inclusion into studies will be provided with a comprehensive evaluation at no cost. For those receiving treatment, in many cases this may consist of a medication or of a device not yet available for clinical use. Once participants' involvement in a study is concluded, if desired and appropriate, every effort is made to refer them for ongoing clinical treatment.
