Clinical Research Bureau

A brick building in New York City.
The Clinical Research Bureau operated from this New York building from 1930 to 1973.

The Clinical Research Bureau was the first legal birth control clinic in the United States, and quickly grew into the leading contraceptive research center in the world.[1] The CRB operated under numerous names and parent organizations from 1923 to 1974, providing birth control and infertility clinical services to thousands of patients, and serving as a site for medical research and education on these topics.[2]
