David Grant USAF Medical Center - Clinical Investigation Facility

The Clinical Investigation Facility (CIF) at Travis Air Force Base provides administrative and operational support for researchers at Travis and Beale Air Force bases and the larger Defense Health Agency’s (DHA) Sacramento Marketplace. To meet scholarly activity requirements for continued accreditation, the David Grant Medical Center (DGMC) CIF supports 21 Graduate Health Science Education and Graduate Medical Education programs. In addition, the CIF supports readiness mission research requirements by addressing medical capability gaps to improve health outcomes. The DGMC CIF consists of a full diagnostic lab, large vivarium with two fully functioning operating room suites, and a Human Research Protections Program office.

Over the last two decades when Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom took place, publications on war surgery, acute trauma care, and rehabilitation were produced from the DGMC CIF.  In addition, MEDIHONEY, QuikClot Combat Gauze and the partial Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) catheter were also developed.  Each of these innovations started as specific requests to the CIF from deployed teams to address operational needs. CIF researchers developed the partial REBOA in response to the need for a device that can stop internal bleeding yet still allow some blood flow to extremities in order to save limbs.

The Clinical Investigation Facility is one of the locations Air Force Medical Service researchers are addressing the technology and supply needs for performing medical care in austere practice conditions, such as in Space.  In 2023, the CIF at Travis Air Force Base formally affiliated with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Human Research Program.  Recent conference presentations have featured technological advances for treating wounds or for performing surgery in space or on the battlefield.  Graduate Medical Education research faculty at the CIF are developing Personalized Occupational Medicine for the Aviation and Space industries.
