Who is it for?

The CPCR Service Finder is designed for anyone involved in health and clinical research in Switzerland, from academic researchers and study coordinators to data managers and biobank professionals. It supports users in identifying which national infrastructures can provide the expertise, data, or resources they need at different stages of their projects.

About this tool

The CPCR Service Finder has been developed by the national Coordination Platform Clinical Research (CPCR) in a joint effort of Swiss Biobanking (technical lead), Swiss Cancer Institute, Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation and Swiss Personalized Health Network, with the support and coordination of the SAMS. The tool is designed to allow other key national service providers to join. Swissethics is the first partner organization to integrate its services into the tool.

About the CPCR
Hosted by the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS) on behalf of the State Secretariat for Research, Education and Innovation (SERI), the CPCR aims to strengthen the institutional cooperation of the main academic stakeholders of health and clinical research. The CPCR offers a space to pursue collaborative projects and develop tools to increase transparency, improve coordination and optimize the use of resources.
