Florida Research Institute (FRI) is a nationally recognized and respected clinical research site. We work with leading pharmaceutical and bioscience companies to advance the future of medicine for those who have nowhere else to turn. Founded in 2015, FRI has a strong industry reputation for effective recruitment, dedicated staff and an impressive standard of care.

Our team is close-knit and well-supported by the organization’s leadership. We are headquartered in Lakewood Ranch, a beautiful community on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Our campus, a few minutes from the highway, is ideally located for subjects and for staff living in Lakewood Ranch and a variety of nearby communities (Sarasota, Bradenton, Parrish, Tampa, North Port and others).

FRI is a division of Florida Digestive Health Specialists, the 12th largest gastroenterology network in the country. Staff receive the benefits and stability of being part of an organization with more than 350 employees throughout Florida.
