The International Forum for Acute Care Trialists (InFACT) was launched in 2008 as a network of investigator-led clinical research groups and academic institutions whose focus is the optimal care of critically ill children and adults. Our members include some two dozen such organizations from around the world, spanning a spectrum of research foci, structural formality, and experience.
InFACT was launched to support the activities of its member groups by:
- Addressing research challenges and needs that are common to researchers around the world
- Providing an informal forum to promote collegiality and collaboration between and among its members
- Linking acute care clinical sites around the world to facilitate global collaboration in research, public health activities, and education
- Raising the profile of investigator-led acute care research with funding bodies, health care policy and decision-makers, and the general public
