Founded in 1989, the Colorado Prevention Center
(CPC) is a not-for-profit medical research and
disease prevention center. We are formally
affiliated
with the
University of Colorado Health Sciences Center,
Denver Health, and National Jewish Medical and Research Center.
We have two primary goals:
-
To design and conduct clinical trials.
-
To translate research results
into clinical practice for Colorado communities.
The CPC designs, conducts, and coordinates
research studies for disease prevention and
therapeutic intervention. CPC is internationally
recognized for its expertise in clinical trials and has
conducted complete clinical trial management for a
variety of sponsors and investigators.
The CPC also recognizes the need to bridge the
gap between clinical research and clinical practice,
so our prevention programs focus on facilitating the
application of our research findings to the day-to-day
practice of medicine in Colorado.
As part of its disease prevention mission, CPC
also reaches out to communities through screening
and treatment programs and education, such as a
two-year study evaluating the effectiveness of the
influenza vaccine in a high risk, homeless population in Denver.
In the coming years, CPC will continue its efforts
to improve health care practice patterns and behaviors.
