UHN Clinical Research Collaborative Centre
Who we are
We support research teams in working collaboratively across the University Health Network (UHN) to plan and deliver clinical studies. Our focus is on enabling studies to start efficiently, maintaining the highest standards of participant safety, and identifying and sharing best practices across the network.
This work aligns with UHN’s corporate strategy, Bold Resolve: For a Healthier World, and the UHN Research Strategic Action Plan, Bold Resolve: Science for Society.
To facilitate this, we have developed shared tools and processes that streamline research operations, including standardized agreements used across Canada, coordinated review pathways, and dedicated contract and regulatory support. These resources help accelerate study start-up and the enrolment of the first participant.
As an academic health science centre affiliated with the University of Toronto and a member of the Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN), UHN collaborates closely with partner hospitals and institutions. Through these efforts, we contribute to advancing UHN’s Bold Resolve vision and research priorities. UHN has been ranked Canada’s #1 research hospital since 2011.
