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 100 community organizations, patient and clinician organizations, clinical practices, academic health centers, industry partners, and 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.
