The Alliance for Clinical & Translational Research (Alliance) is an island-wide network advancing health research in Puerto Rico and beyond. Supported by grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), the Alliance serves as a hub for expertise, resources, and innovation in clinical and translational research.
The Alliance is led by the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus (UPR-MSC) in partnership with Universidad Central del Caribe (UCC) and Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU)/Ponce Medical School Foundation (PMSF). Together, we connect researchers, clinicians, and communities to translate discoveries into meaningful health outcomes.
