The North Florida Foundation for Research and Education (NFFRE) supports VA Research and fosters dynamic collaborations with its university partners, other federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private industry—thus furthering the VA Research program's impact on the health of Veterans and the nation.
NFFRE serves as the flexible funding mechanism for non-VA funded clinical trials at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville FL. We serve many investigators conducting research in various therapeutic areas: aging, oncology, cardiology, vascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary disease, neurology, rehabilitation, brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, Parkinsons disease, amputation, infectious disease, rheumatoid arthritis, sleep disorders, wound care/treatment and other veterans health and service connected research.
