Research that strengthens the communities that make it possible.
A share of every study we run is reinvested into the Triangle, directed by our partner practices, and reported transparently every year.
The fund is not a line item we add when revenue is strong. It is built into how we operate, activated with our first study, and governed by the practices and communities we serve.
Not a marketing program.
Simple, auditable reporting on every dollar in and out, published annually, available to anyone who wants to see it.
Simple by design. Accountable by structure.
01
Study revenue supports the Fund
A meaningful portion of study revenue is allocated to local health initiatives. The fund activates with CFCR’s first study and runs independently of any single sponsor or practice.
02
Local relationships help identify priorities
Each practice may designate a representative to our Community Impact Council. That council helps direct fund allocation to initiatives they know their communities need most.
03
CFCR reports what was funded
Each year CFCR publishes a summary of funded initiatives, organizations supported, and the categories of work the fund touched. Transparent reporting is part of how the fund builds trust.
“The communities that make clinical research possible deserve to benefit from it directly.”
