California Research Foundation earned the honor of being recognized as one of the top three sites in the world for their work on Pfizer's landmark COVID-19 vaccine protocol, the first COVID-19 vaccine approved for emergency use in the United States and the first FDA approved COVID-19 vaccine in the United States.

We consider this recognition a salute to our dedicated and committed research staff and the real heroes of the pandemic - the study volunteers who stood up during this worldwide emergency and selflessly offered to join the effort to find a safe and effective vaccine to counter a virus that was affecting everyone around the world.

California Research Foundation was founded on the idea of ethical, quality research and pristine data collection while maintaining the highest standard in patient care. 

Each of our pharmaceutical and CRO partners are valued for their global contributions and considered our colleagues during every protocol execution. We are committed to assuring a strong collaboration with our research partners to assure we meet their needs and achieve a successful outcome for the study.
