What Fundación para la Investigación Biomédica del Hospital Universitario de Getafe does

The Fundación para la Investigación Biomédica del Hospital Universitario de Getafe (FIBHUG), also operating as IIS Getafe / Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Getafe, is a Spanish private non-profit research foundation founded in 2003 and headquartered at the Hospital Universitario de Getafe in Madrid, Spain, with 189 employees. It functions as a multidisciplinary biomedical research institute integrating basic, clinical, epidemiological, and health services research, organized across 5 research areas and 9 research groups. The constituent entities are Hospital Universitario de Getafe, Universidad Europea de Madrid (UEM), and FIBHUG itself, forming a translational research consortium.

IIS Getafe's core offerings are shared research infrastructure platforms operated for the benefit of affiliated researchers. These include the Biobanco (biobank), Plataforma Animal (animal facility with experimental surgery), Plataforma Biología Celular y Molecular (cellular and molecular biology), Plataforma Histológica (histology), Plataforma Clínica (clinical research), and the joint Laboratorio Mixto Salgado Alba with UEM. The institute also operates a Clinical Research Ethics Committee (CEIm), a Statistical and Methodological Support Platform in collaboration with UEM, standardized contract templates for clinical studies, and innovation support services including an ideas mailbox. Active research projects concentrate on frailty and aging (FACET, FRAILOMIC, SPRINTT, MIDFRAIL, VIVIFRAIL, ADVANTAGE, FRAILCLINIC), respiratory disease via CIBERES, and multiple sclerosis.

FIBHUG has no commercial revenue model. As a public research institution, it provides services to affiliated researchers free of charge and is funded through competitive EU grants (Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020, with cumulative EU funding referenced above €10M including a €2.5M EU award), nominative funding from the Consejería de Salud de la Comunidad de Madrid, FEDER and FSE structural funds, Instituto de Salud Carlos III thematic networks (CIBERES, CIBERFES, Itemas), and contract research fees for clinical trials and biobank access (not publicly priced). The foundation is a member of REGIC (the Spanish network of clinical research management entities) and participates in the EIT Health knowledge and innovation community. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS): One of Spain's largest and most productive biomedical research institutes, affiliated with Hospital Clínic Barcelona and the University of Barcelona. Comparable as an IIS consortium with extensive EU funding, shared platforms, and CIBER membership, but operating at significantly larger scale.
• Vall d'Hebron Institut de Recerca (VHIR): Research institute of Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona. Comparable IIS-accredited structure with extensive CIBER participation, EU funding, and clinical trial activity, but with substantially larger patient volume and broader therapeutic coverage.
• Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red (CIBER): ISCIII-funded umbrella consortium of thematic biomedical research networks across Spain. IISGetafe is itself a member; CIBER is the parent structure that defines funding flows and network participation rules across the Spanish IIS ecosystem.

Others

• Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII): Spain's main public biomedical research funding and coordination agency. Not a peer institute but the principal public funder of the IIS network; relevant because IISGetafe's CIBER memberships and accredited IIS status are ISCIII-governed programmes.
• EIT Health Spain: European knowledge and innovation community node that co-funds the FACET and other aging/frailty projects in which IISGetafe participates. Relevant as an enabling funding and consortium-building partner within the EU health research ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Universitario La Fe (IIS La Fe): IIS-accredited research foundation linked to Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe in Valencia. Highly comparable in size band, multi-stakeholder consortium model, EU grant portfolio, and emphasis on translational biomedicine.
• Fundación Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Aragón (IIS Aragón): Regional IIS consortium in Aragón integrating Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet and other regional providers. Comparable as a mid-size IIS foundation with shared platforms and CIBER membership.
• Fundación para la Investigación Biomédica del Hospital 12 de Octubre (i+12): IIS-accredited biomedical research foundation tied to Hospital 12 de Octubre in Madrid. Closely comparable in governance model (hospital + foundation), portfolio (clinical trials, EU-funded projects, CIBER membership), and infrastructure-platform operating model.
• Fundación para la Investigación Biomédica del Hospital Universitario La Paz (IdiPAZ): Madrid-region IIS-accredited research foundation affiliated with Hospital Universitario La Paz. Directly comparable as a Spanish IIS consortium combining a public hospital, university partners, and a research foundation focused on translational biomedicine.
• Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Gregorio Marañón (IiSGM): Madrid-based IIS consortium combining Hospital Gregorio Marañón and area universities. Directly comparable in structure, research area organization, CIBER network participation, and EU project execution model.
