Research should leave a community better than it found it.
A share of every study we run is reinvested into the Triangle, directed by our partner practices, and reported transparently every year.
Year 1 reinvestment target
$150K
A defined share of study revenue, built into our structure from day one.
The fund is not a line item we add when revenue is strong. It is built into how we operate, activated with our first study, and governed by the practices and communities we serve.
Not a marketing program.
Simple, auditable reporting on every dollar in and out, published annually, available to anyone who wants to see it.
Simple by design. Accountable by structure.
01
Study revenue funds it automatically
A defined share of every study CFCR conducts is allocated to the fund before any other distribution. No discretion. No thresholds. It runs from our first study.
02
Partner practices decide where it goes
Each partner practice may designate a representative to our Community Impact Council. That council directs fund allocation to initiatives they know their communities need most.
03
We report it publicly, every year
Auditable annual reporting on every dollar in and out. What was funded, what it cost, what it produced. No vague impact claims.
“The communities that make clinical research possible deserve to benefit from it directly.”

Most sites you evaluate have been through at least one ownership change. The investigators who built patient trust are no longer running day-to-day operations. Financial professionals are.
