Clinical Research
Our center is recognized worldwide as a premier research center for diabetes. Our commitment to research is evidenced by our recognition as global leader in diabetes research. Our Center is funded by the National Institutes of Health as an affiliate of the Type 1 Diabetes Trial Net consortium and a Center for the Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) and Immune Tolerance DESIGNATE studies. We collaborate with academic and industry partners to advance therapies and technologies to better enable patients to manage their disease and to ultimately prevent and cure diabetes and related endocrine disorders.
We are actively involved in research studies related to new therapies, Automated Insulin Delivery systems, screening of people at risk for developing Type 1 diabetes, new onset diabetes studies, etc. If you are interested in participating in research, please let us know by sending an email to usfdiabetesresearchc@usf.edu.

Closed-Loop Inpatient Outpatient Bone Care Model
Since in the US, 1 in 2 women over the age of 50 will have a fracture due to osteoporosis in their lifetime and these fracture can nearly double the risk of having another fracture, University of South Florida (USF) and Tampa General Hospital (TGH) bone care team in collaboration with primary care team as well as multiple subspecialties such as inpatient, outpatient, and rehabilitation teams has developed the Osteoporosis Evidence-Based pathway that serves as a guiding document for a comprehensive approach to bone health screening and primary and secondary fracture prevention in high-risk populations.
We believe that this new closed-loop inpatient–outpatient bone care model with guiding principles for screening, diagnosis, and management will provide continuity of care, inspiring innovation, excellence, and the best outcome in patient care.
