The UBC Faculty of Medicine, BC Health Authorities, Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, Life Sciences BC and Genome BC have collaborated and formed the British Columbia Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (BCCRIN).

BCCRIN is a truly pan provincial partnership with engagement reaching from Vancouver to Prince George to the Interior, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island.

This partnership will focus on improving the clinical and translational research landscape in British Columbia to enhance our ability to compete in what has become a global market place for clinical research. In order to continue to compete on the global stage and attract inward investment, we must improve our research processes and build infrastructure to support clinical research personnel and activities. This is the mandate of the BCCRIN.

Areas of focus for BCCRIN include harmonization of critical clinical research processes such as research contracts resulting in streamlined processes and enhanced efficiencies across centres. Investments in human resources, through training and development programs, will be implemented to improve the recruitment and retention of the sector’s ‘best and brightest’.

A Quality Systems approach will be initiated to ensure our research centres continue to produce high quality work that meets or exceeds international standards.
