European Clinical Research Infrastructures Network | | ECRIN is the pan-European Infrastructure for clinical trials (ESFRI roadmap for research infrastructures) providing, high-quality services to multinational clinical research (ECRIN mission statement). As a distributed infrastructure linking national networks of clinical research centres and clinical trials units, ECRIN provides integrated ‘one-stop shop’ services to investigators and sponsors in multinational studies, with the local contribution of staff embedded in each national coordination. | Such support is particularly relevant for academic clinical research, research on rare diseases, neglected diseases, and for clinical trials sponsored by biotechnology, drug, and device enterprises that may face difficulties in conducting multinational studies in the EU. ECRIN will be a major tool for FP7- or Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI)-funded projects. Hereby ECRIN will stimulate EU research on prevention, diagnosis and treatment, hence improving healthcare delivery to patients and citizens.
