National Coordination Platform Clinical Research

SAMS » Projects » Projects A–Z » CPCR

Based on the analysis of the White Paper Clinical Research published by the SAMS in July 2021, the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) has recognized the need to strengthen the institutional dialogue between the public actors of clinical research, including the perspective of public health. It has mandated the SAMS to set up and manage a national coordination platform for clinical research (CPCR) for the ERI period 2021–2024.

The mission of the CPCR is to help define concerted priority action areas for publicly funded clinical research, aligned on the vision laid out in the white paper, and to formulate recommendations to the attention of decision-making bodies or of the SERI. The CPCR will not be a supervisory authority nor a regulatory instance. Composed in its build-up phase of a small number of members so as to ensure an efficient functioning, its structure, organization, and the necessary resources will be reexamined in view of the ERI period 2025–2028, so as to best serve the needs of clinical research stakeholders.

 

The CPCR has started its activities in December 2021. The FAQ gives further information on its aims and positioning.
