New roadmap for clinical research
1 June 2010
The HRB has welcomed the publication of a new clinical research roadmap which will support innovation in the health services, attract industry and jobs and further develop clinical research and teaching in Ireland.
Funded by the HRB and the HSE, the Clinical Research Roadmap highlights the strategic and operational changes needed to improve Ireland's capacity to undertake high-quality, multi-centre clinical research.
Speaking at the launch Enda Connolly, CEO at the HRB said, 'The HRB is driving the growth of clinical research in Ireland. Developing a strong coherence across the Irish health and research systems is central to this. We have supported ICRIN to develop this roadmap because it will help create the vibrant, co-ordinated clinical research system we need here. When this is in place, Ireland will be in a much better position to absorb new innovations and support high performance in our health system. This will improve people's health, as well as attracting industry investment.'
The Roadmap was developed by ICRIN, a business unit of Molecular Medicine Ireland, and brings together the ideas and expertise of the best minds across clinical research, including regulators, funders researchers, industry associations hospitals, universities and patient organisations.
