  The Galactic Center contains the most massive young clusters in the Galaxy
and serves as the closest example of a massive starburst region. Our recent
results suggest that the Galactic Center environment produces massive clusters
with relatively flat initial mass functions, as might be expected on
theoretical grounds. I will discuss these recent results, along with evidence
for star formation in the immediate vicinity of the super massive black hole at
the Galactic Center. The results of this work might be useful in extrapolating
to other galactic centers with similar conditions, as well as other starburst
regions.
