Collaborations & Partnerships

The Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI) has relationships through a network of individuals and organizations seeking to promote the discovery of interventions to improve health outcomes. These include over 20 community-based organizations, 2 federally qualified health centers, a state public health center, Connecticut Mental Health Center, and two other Universities. These relationships impact a wide range of the operations and initiatives of YCCI.

YCCI broadly defines “community” to include a wide range of stakeholders connected to clinical and translational research, both within and outside the university. In the Yale context, stakeholders include:

• patients in the local area, including those from a broad range of backgrounds;
• physicians and other clinicians from the community;
• community health centers, other organizations, and faith-based and advocacy groups such as the AME Zion Church and Junta for Progressive Action, leaders in New Haven’s large African American and Latino communities; and
• other educational institutions, including those in the CTSA network; and industry partners.
