The HRB Clinical Research facility at UCC was co-funded by the Health Research Board and the College of Medicine and Health, University College Cork with the dual purpose of:

1. Facilitating the high-quality conduct of Patient-Focused Research in UCC and its affiliated Hospitals in the South and South-West Hospital Group which collectively have a catchment population of almost 1 million persons.

The HRB CRF-UCC can provide individual bespoke services as required or serve as a single site for comprehensive complete study support. The HRB CRF-UCC supports all formats of Patient-Focused Research including Regulated Academic Clinical Trials, Phase 2-4 Commercial Trials and other well-designed studies. It has successfully supported studies utilising the entire spectrum of clinical interventions including Investigational Medicinal Products, Generics & Biosimilars, and Class 2-3 Medical Devices, standalone software, complex interventions and advanced therapeutic products. Being University based it is able to harness the academic excellence and scientific expertise of Ireland’s leading Research University and the diverse medical expertise extending across all medical specialties and which includes two of Ireland’s largest teaching hospitals. All research facilities have full 24/7 on-site medical coverage with access to the full emergency-response capabilities.
