Our History
The Network for Clinical Research and Training (NCRT) was formally launched in the fall of 2010. Health IMPACTS for Florida (Integrating Medical Practice and Community-based Translational Science) was our initial community-based research effort that combined Florida State’s strength in a distributed medical education model with University of Florida’s expertise in clinical and translational research. With the addition of the University of Miami and multiple healthcare institutions across the state, Health IMPACTS for Florida became the OneFlorida Clinical Research Consortium, uniting researchers, clinicians, patients and other stakeholders to address the State’s biggest health challenges. In 2022, with FSU and UF’s strong commitment to community engagement, NCRT expanded services to include support for community-engaged research, becoming the NCRT-CE.
