2.1. History
13
In the year 2000 the Foundation for the Research of the Hospital
Clínico Universitario of Valencia was constituted, being the first
Valencian research foundation attached to a public hospital.
Ten years later, some excellence groups in biomedical research
from the University of Valencia and IUIVI (Valencian Infertility
Institute) joined the Foundation through the establishment of
specific agreements, so the INCLIVA Health Research Institute
was created.
The main aims of INCLIVA are to manage the biomedical
research carried out by the Hospital Clínico Universitario of
Valencia and its Health Department and to encourage teaching
and scientific activities, thus improving patient treatment and
knowledge sharing.
In 2011 INCLIVA was accredited as a Health Research Institute
by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (Ministerio de Ciencia
e Innovación) so it obtained preferential treatment by the Carlos
III Health Institute (Instituto de Salud Carlos III), being recognized
its excellent research.
