# FOMAT > FOMAT (formerly FOMAT Medical Research) is an Embedded Research Organization (ERO) headquartered in Oxnard, California, with a growing presence across the United States. FOMAT conducts Phase I, II, and III clinical trials across a broad range of therapeutic areas, with a mission focused on diversifying access to clinical research and bringing healthcare innovations to underrepresented populations. ## What is FOMAT FOMAT is built around the Embedded Research Organization model, integrating clinical research directly into existing healthcare settings — such as physician practices, clinics, and health systems — rather than operating as a standalone research facility.
