Sponsors and CROs

Birmingham Clinical Research partners with pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, contract research organizations, medical-device companies, and diagnostic companies to conduct high-quality clinical trials in a community-based setting.

​

Led by Nova Law, M.D., Principal Investigator and board-certified family physician, our site combines experienced medical oversight with access to a large and diverse patient population. Our established patient and community database includes more than 5,000 potential participants, with substantial representation from Black and African American, Hispanic, Indian, and Asian communities.

​

We are committed to expanding clinical-trial access for populations that have historically been underrepresented in medical research.

Strong Participant Retention

Birmingham Clinical Research has a strong record of participant engagement and retention, including long-term clinical trials. Our participants value the personalized attention, consistent communication, and continuity of care provided by our research team.

​

Some participants who have relocated outside Alabama have specifically requested to remain enrolled at our site rather than transfer to a research location closer to their new residence. When permitted by the study protocol and practical for the participant, our team works diligently to support continued participation and minimize missed visits.

​

This level of loyalty reflects the trust our participants place in our investigators and research staff. We maintain long-term engagement through regular follow-up, appointment reminders, flexible scheduling, responsive communication, and patient-centered research experience.

​

​

Our cold-chain capabilities include:
