Built through the collaboration of 20+ multi-specialty physicians and allied health provider groups, AIHF Clinical Research prides itself as a sponsor friendly organization emphasizing ethical conduct, quality results and excellent responsiveness with dedicated physician oversight. The goal of the Clinical Research Unit is to grow along with AIHF and have a local, national, and international presence in Clinical Research. Focus areas include pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and medical devices  in outpatient Phase II - IV studies. 

The fundamental principle of AIHF is successful collaboration: AIHF CRU strives to achieve this by being results oriented and quality focused through partnership with local healthcare providers.

Why did we form AIHF Clinical Research Unit (CRU)?

  • Promote the advancement of medicinal compounds for the improvement of healthcare
  • Provide a full service “turn key” solution to doing research with minimal disruption in normal work flow

Collaborative Effort:

  • AIHF CRU provides the technical and administrative expertise and excellence in managing regulations and operations
  • AIHF CRU identifies, recruits, and manages clinical research studies
  • Physicians provide medical expertise and patients

AIHF CRU Role:

  • Promote clinical research of the highest standards of excellence
  • Attract interesting and worthwhile studies
  • Provide coordinators in the participating physician's practice for conducting trials
  • In summary, AIHF CRU ‘manages’ the research

Provider Role:

  • Recruit patients from practice or community

The CRU is currently conducting clinical research studies in multiple therapeutic areas of family practice, internal medicine, sports medicine, and orthopaedics. Please contact us at clinicalresearch@aihf.net or via telephone at (919) 926-3012 for more information.
