The National Portfolio of Research Capacity Infrastructure contracts is managed by the NCCRCD as part of the National Research Capacity Development Programme.

The four main types of activity supported by these contracts are
  • R&D Support
  • Academic Activity
  • Networking
  • Clinical Trials Support


Academic activity can be procided by a facility which provides a high quality environment with a coherent programme of R&D and provides high-level academic support to health research by
  • Initiating, developing and maintaining collaborative research with other academic and health care organisations
  • Providing a resource for expert advice on a variety of academic subjects relevant to health research
  • Acting as a centre for the education and training of health researchers

Such units are contracted from a high quality academic department of a Higher Education Institution.
A list of all the Academic Units supported by the NCCRCD with contact details and website addresses where applicable will soon be available.
