Boston MCRC aims to support researchers with pilot award projects through its methodology services. These services are for exploring and\/or catalyzing new research questions that take advantage of Boston University-based cohort studies or other databases that focus on musculoskeletal disorders, musculoskeletal research that includes new epidemiologic study designs, machine learning, or mobile health and wearable technologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of the Pilot Program is to\u00a0support clinical research opportunities with the MCRC providing clinical research\u00a0 study design and methodologic advice and assistance. The MCRC focus is on musculoskeletal and rheumatic disorders and their impact.<\/em><\/p>\n
