In March 2023, CU/Boulder announced it would begin a trial study in which terminally ill patients dealing with depression were given a "moderate to high dose" of psilocybin before extended therapy sessions. Now the center moves to Denver, the new research center which will collaborate with staff at CU Boulder and the CU Anschutz Medical Campus to study the "effectiveness and therapeutic mechanisms" of psychedelics.
Research center personnel will also develop an "educational curriculum for training those who want to provide psychedelics in clinical settings, and for those wanting a state credential to do this kind of work," according to the school, and the center will share its findings with lawmakers, local and state agencies and other interested stakeholders.

“We already have several small studies in planning, and a national study underway. We are in talks with several possible collaborators in Colorado, and beyond, because there appears to be so much promise in this area of research now that we as a nation are jumping into the study of psychedelics again.”
