What ARC Makes Possible
Most research happens where patients aren’t.
Clinical research still concentrates in a small number of academic centers, while most patients receive their care elsewhere.
That gap costs everyone. Studies produce evidence that doesn’t reflect the populations clinicians actually treat. Community and regional health systems carry the patient volume and the clinical insight but rarely the research infrastructure — dedicated coordinators, feasibility tooling, data science capacity — to convert either into published evidence. Life sciences teams spend months negotiating site-by-site for data that arrives fragmented and late, and studies are slow to enroll.
The blocker is rarely willingness. It is infrastructure: governed data, an existing framework, and a partner who can support the analytic and operational load.
Who ARC brings together
Partners across healthcare and life sciences, united around one goal: better evidence, and better outcomes for patients.
Membership
Designed for teams that already have day jobs
Membership is structured so health systems can participate without new hires or open-ended commitments. Members share standards, co-develop research, and bring discovery closer to care. Arcadia provides the data, expertise, and support that make taking part easy.
What you commit to
A participation agreement that grants data use rights for research, engagement in one project per calendar year, and a named point of contact.
What you control
What research and studies you participate in and how your organization is named.
What Arcadia provides
Data infrastructure, feasibility analysis, scientific and analytic support, sponsor connection.
