CPCR Service Finder for clinical research: A new tool to access services scross organisations

The national Coordination Platform Clinical Research (CPCR) has launched the CPCR Service Finder, a new collaborative tool developed jointly by Swiss Biobanking (technical lead), the Swiss Cancer Institute, the Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation (SCTO), the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN), with the support and coordination of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS).

The tool is the first tangible outcome of the CPCR, whose mission is to foster synergies among organisations conducting and supporting clinical research in Switzerland. Academic researchers, study coordinators, data managers, and biobank professionals can use it to quickly identify which national infrastructures offer the expertise, data, or resources they need at any stage of their project — and find out who to contact for support.

swissethics joined as first partner to include its resources. The tool is designed to welcome other key national service providers progressively and is accessible on the website of each partner research infrastructure.

We welcome your feedback — share your thoughts directly with the development team at info@swissbiobanking.ch to help improve the tool.
