GENERAL SUMMARY:
The Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard (MRCT Center) is an academic research and policy center. Our mission is to increase the integrity, safety and rigor of global clinical trials. We define emerging challenges in global clinical trials and create and implement ethical, actionable, and practical solutions. We do this by engaging diverse stakeholders and convening collaborative multidisciplinary teams made up of individuals from industry, academia, patients and patient advocacy groups, nonprofit organizations, and regulatory agencies to address critical issues arising in the conduct and oversight of clinical trials. The MRCT Center resides within the Division of Global Health Equity (DGHE) at Brigham and Women's Hospital, which was founded by Dr. Paul Farmer. The DGHE is the academic and administrative home of the Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center.
