Investigator-Driven Clinical Research

Datum: 15-01-2010 - 15-01-2010

Locatie: Amsterdam, KNAW, het Trippenhuis

Omschrijving:

This symposium, organised by the Council of Medical Sciences of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), will focus on opportunities in the Netherlands to stimulate investigator-driven clinical research
(IDCR). Clinical patient-oriented research is under strain in many countries, including the Netherlands. There are a number of reasons for this. The demand for greater efficiency in healthcare systems leaves little time for investigator-
driven clinical research, and the expanding burden of bureaucracy is creating growing obstacles. As a result, the research agenda for therapeutic clinical research is driven by pharmaceutical and other companies, and important
clinical and scientific questions are not always being addressed. Improving efficient investigator-initiated clinical research requires both specialised competences and an advanced infrastructure.
