A new collaborative, user-friendly tool, has been developed by the national Coordination Platform Clinical Research with the technical expertise of Swiss Biobanking. It allows to browse among services from the main national research infrastructures in one click, and to identify whom to approach for support.

As a first tangible outcome of the CPCR—whose mission is to foster synergies among organizations conducting and supporting clinical research in Switzerland—the CPCR Service Finder supports academic researchers, study coordinators, data managers, and biobank professionals in identifying which national infrastructures can provide relevant expertise, data, or resources at different stages of their projects.

The tool is the result of a collaboration within the national Coordination Platform Clinical Research (CPCR). It was developed in a joint effort of Swiss Biobanking (technical lead), Swiss Cancer Institute, Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation (SCTO) and Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN), with the support and coordination of the SAMS. swissethics joined as first partner to include its resources. The tool is designed to welcome other key national service providers progressively.
