Tagline: Improving Health
The mission of the UF CTSI is to improve human health by accelerating the translation of scientific discoveries and the implementation of evidence-based best practices for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and cure of human disease.
It is the mission statement that drives the messaging for all materials. When you are creating your materials, think about how your program, initiative or department contributes to the overall mission. We are incorporating this mission into the content of materials, specifically in headlines.
For example, the Translational Workforce Development Program improves health through education and training and the Service Center improves health through research services and resources.
Use “Improving health through…” and complete the phrase using a key message point.

You have a few options for fonts.
You may use the UF fonts, which you can request here: http://identity.ufl.edu/typography/. However, UF fonts do not come natively to Word. If you are using Word for materials, use Franklin Gothic Demi for headlines and Franklin Gothic Book for text.
If you are using the design program Canva, you will use Sanchez (equivalent to Quadon) and Montserrat (equivalent to Gentona). These are available within Canva; you don’t need to download them.
