As an innovative and experienced clinical research site, Accord Clinical Research conducts Phase II-IV clinical trials in Central Florida. We test investigational treatments and therapies being developed by pharmaceutical and biotechnical companies to assess their efficacy and safety in humans. Accord is currently conducting an array of clinical research studies in which you can participate.

Accord is always looking for volunteers to participate in these clinical trials. As a clinical trial participant, you receive all care related to the study at no cost to you. You may also be compensated for your time and travel while participating.
