PCRA Caribbean exists to grow commercial research delivered through Caribbean sites — bringing more studies, more income, and more opportunities to hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, labs, research units and patients across the region. Members get:
Diverse research opportunities
Real-world evidence, clinical trials, in-service evaluations, and regulatory studies — all delivered through community sites.
Sponsor-funded income
Paid commercial research at competitive rates — sustainable additional income for your site.
Better access for your patients
Early access to new treatments and care pathways via clinical trials your patients can take part in.
Skills, training and mentoring
Training, hands-on study experience, and mentoring from experienced research-active sites.
A network of peers
A growing community of research-active hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, labs and research units across the whole Caribbean, working and collaborating together on studies.
Annual PCRA Caribbean Conference
The energy driving the network forward. Members hear about upcoming projects, learn from industry, and help shape next year's plans for PCRA Caribbean.
PCRA Caribbean membership is by invitation.
We work closely with each new site to make sure the network is a good fit. This form starts a conversation — we'll review your details and be in touch within a few working days. There are no consents to sign at this stage; they come later when we activate your portal account.
What membership commits your site to (in plain English)
- • Confidentiality. A robust PCRA Caribbean Network NDA covering anything sponsors, CROs, or other members share with you. Signed once at portal activation.
- • Per-study NDAs. Before you download any sponsor's study documents, you tick through a study-specific confidentiality undertaking — even stronger than the network-wide one.
- • Non-circumvention.When PCRA Caribbean introduces you to a sponsor, you engage with them through us rather than going direct. Your existing sponsor relationships, and any new ones you develop independently, are completely unaffected.
- • Good Clinical Practice.Your team complies with ICH-GCP and the clinical research regulations that apply in your territory, and maintains appropriate training.
- • No obligation.Membership is voluntary; you can decline any individual study, and either side can end membership with one month's notice.
- • No patient data on the portal.Patient-identifiable data is excluded by design — never share it through the portal or in messages.
Full agreement text is shown verbatim at activation — you tick each item before your account goes live.
