Research Centers around the country- 10-30 bed facilities within teaching hospitals- all discreetly funded by the NIH.

We had two in Philadelphia- one at Temple Hospital and one at UPenn Med.

All research done at these centers required that the investigator(s) receive approval by an Internal Review Board.

Oh, the irony & shame of RFK Jr.’s actions. 😢
