Research Services
Clinical and Translational Research Building
(parking and directions)
The goal of the UF Clinical and Translational Science Institute’s Service Center is to provide research services and resources to investigators performing translational research across the UF campus. The CTSI Service Center works closely with investigators, the UF Institutional Review Boards, the UF College of Medicine Research Administration and Compliance office and numerous service providers across the CTSI and the university.
Our Research Project Navigators advise research teams on available resources and help them navigate research-related processes. The CTSI Service Center also links investigators to other CTSI resources and core facilities.
Initial consultations for all services are offered at no cost. If a study requires special or extended involvement of staff, cost may be assessed. We will discuss all available options at the first consultation.
Please see the table below for a list of CTSI services and contacts.
