A Research Experience Designed Around You
At FOMAT, we believe clinical research should feel like part of your regular healthcare, not something separate. As an embedded research organization, we work alongside providers like CSVS to create research opportunities that are local, accessible, and focused on you

Bringing Research Directly Into Your Community Clinic
We bring clinical research into trusted community clinics, making it easier to participate without leaving your regular healthcare setting.
At CSVS, you don’t have to travel far, change doctors, or feel out of place. Our partnership ensures that every study is accessible, respectful of your time, your language, and your care preferences.
Our Role at CSVS
FOMAT helps CSVS integrate clinical research into its existing medical services. Together, we offer studies that are aligned with the real needs of the community. Our bilingual teams are here to guide patients through every step of the process, from understanding eligibility to answering questions along the way.
