NIHR CRN CC is building a complete picture of the clinical research which is currently taking place across the UK.
Details of studies which meet specific eligibility criteria are recorded in a database, known as the NIHR CRN Portfolio, which comprises the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Portfolio in England, and the corresponding portfolios of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The NIHR CRN Portfolio is a national data resource, will be used to manage the allocation of NHS infrastructure funding and will support the performance management of NIHR CRN CC's Clinical Research Networks.
The NIHR CRN Portfolio search tool allows users to search for studies in a number of ways including searching by Chief Investigator, Study Title and NIHR CRN Study ID number. read more >> |
