Research centres which involve inter-institutional collaboration are becoming increasingly common in the current global scenario and, in particular, the number of interdisciplinary centres is growing. There are many opportunities to build critical mass, particularly in emerging research areas, in this way. We encourage you to think creatively about the opportunities provided by this synergistic relationship.

The opportunities that we visualize at your organization are the following:

    . Design, support and analysis for research pursuits at the site.

    . Organize clinical research training programmes at the site.
