What is “Introduction to Clinical Research (ICRweb)”?

  • Introduction to Clinical Research (ICRweb) aims to provide on-line educational programs, to offer the most recent and instractive information relating to clinical research, and serve as a platform where those involved in clinical research can exchange information, for the purpose of creating and disseminating clinical research education programs.
  • ICRweb is an e-learning site that provides knowledge required for clinical research, intended not only for medical researchers who conduct clinical research, but also for clinical research coordinators (CRC) and other clinical research professionals who support it, members and secretariat of the ethics review committee, and all those who assist in the administrative work of research. It is also intended for fundamental researchers, epidemiologists, statisticians, and the general public who wish to learn about clinical research.
  • Our porpose is something that many clinical studies will be conducted with scientifically valid, ethical, and medically meaningful, building evidence for treatment and prevention, and information sharing will progress through networking among researchers. The ultimate goal is to lead to the equalization of medical care. We would be delighted if the ICRweb contributes to the happiness of as many patients as possible.
