Our 5 Key Strategies
Clinical Research Malaysia (CRM) is a non-profit company wholly owned by the Government of Malaysia’s Ministry of Health. CRM was established in June 2012 to position Malaysia as a preferred global destination for industry-sponsored research (ISR) and to function as an enabler and facilitator to the industry and medical fraternity for the conduct of clinical trials.
By working with other stakeholders, CRM strives to improve the local ecosystem to support growth in ISR, facilitate the needs and requirements of industry players, grow the pool of capable investigators, support staff and trial sites, and improve their capabilities and capacities to conduct ISR.
With the Ministry of Health’s backing and clear knowledge of the local research environment, CRM is able to provide sponsors (primarily from the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries) and contract research organizations (CRO) with an extensive range of services that includes feasibility studies, investigator selection, placement and development of study coordinators, management of trial budget, review of clinical trial agreements and updates on local laws, guidelines and regulations. CRM also undertakes marketing and promotional activities to build industry awareness about the opportunities for ISR in Malaysia, and create public and patient awareness of clinical trials.
