With over 25 years combined clinical research experience, our clinical research staff is highly experienced with

  • the study initiation process
  • regulatory document collection
  • study participant recruitment and retention
  • accurate data collection, and
  • proper study conduct according to Good Clinical Practices

We are experienced in coordinating both in-patient and out-patient clinical trials, and can utilize conventional Case Report Forms or Remote Data Entry.

The Association of Clinical Research Professionals certifies our study coordinators. We offer consistent personalized attention to each clinical trial that we undertake at Montana Health Research Institute.


Montana Health Research Institute is located in Billings--Montana's largest metropolitan city. The population of Billings and its surrounding rural communities include more than 200,000 residents with a university student population of over 5,000. Because Billings provides primary regional medical care for the entire population of Montana, our expert physician base is well trained and diverse, and our health care facilities and hospitals offer the latest technology for comprehensive preventive, primary and specialty care.

Clinical studies are relatively new to this region. We continue to experience an overwhelmingly positive response toward study participation. Our western heritage promotes a pioneering spirit and intense focus on personal community involvement. Montana's rural atmosphere provides access to a stable full-time study population with a strong commitment to study completion. Through our past experience, study participants are willing to travel hundreds of miles to fulfill their roles as research participants. Due to this unique pioneering spirit and sense of commitment, Montana Health Research Institute staff consistently meets and often exceeds enrollment goals.
