A Clinical Research Facility (CRF) provides the infrastructure – the physical space, facilities and the experts - needed to support patient focused research studies. The HRB funds three CRFs across the country in partnership with the Wellcome Trust (Dublin) and the Health Service Executive (HSE) (Galway and Cork). These are very substantial awards, with a total funding volume of €54 million over five years. All clinical research infrastructures are coordinated though another HRB award, the Irish Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (ICRIN)
