Consulting

The DCR process begins with a consulting session to discuss the scope and background of the project, and areas for collaboration and services from DCR. The initial meeting should be attended by the project PI(s) and the DCR Director and Senior DCR Academics, e.g. Medical Data Science, as relevant. Subsequent consultations will involve additional expert staff from relevant DCR divisions, according to project needs.

DCR provides particular extensive support for the IICT grant calls, such as SNSF, talent development grants, international and national grant applications.

DCR also provides consulting to external researchers and industry, including startups in therapeutics, medtech, and other areas where clinical studies are being planned.
