What is NC SPEED?

NC SPEED Evidence Academy North Carolina Statewide Push for Excellence Engagement and Delivery is designed to work across North Carolina to quickly move research findings into practice. We focus on facilitating research partnerships to help us, as a state, achieve

excellence in health care,

engagement of UNC researchers with community members, and

delivery of evidence-based approaches to improve individual and community health.

We strive to assure that every region of North Carolina participates in and benefits from designing and conducting research to improve local health and health care.

NC SPEED is supported by the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences (NC TraCS) Institute and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. NC TraCS is the academic home of the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Awards at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill.

Funding comes from the University Cancer Research Fund and NC TraCs.
