| Website | https://ctsi.ufl.edu |
| Mission | The University of Florida has a rich environment of distinguished colleges, state-of-the-art research facilities and statewide health education and health delivery systems. These resources position UF at the forefront of institutions to train the next generation of clinical and translational investigators and to help overcome two major obstacles in our nation's clinical research enterprise: the translation of basic science discoveries to early investigations in humans and the translational of clinical research into better medical practice and healthcare delivery. UF has made considerable investments dedicated exclusively to accomplish these missions through the creation of a trans-institutional Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). The institute will provide the new intellectual home for clinical and translational research and training at UF, integrating and synergizing the scientific and educational activities of 16 colleges, two academic and clinical campuses, three regional healthcare systems and the 67 counties of the State of Florida. |
