A leading clinical research and healthcare institution advancing science, health services, and capacity building in Uganda.

JCRC has developed sufficient capacity to conduct various types of clinical research to meet the unique, and complex needs of our diverse research clients.

JCRCs conduct the following types of research;

  • Clinical Trials: For evaluating new treatments, drugs or medical interventions to determine the efficacy and safety of interventions while minimizing biases.
  • Observational Studies: For understanding the progression of diseases, treatment outcomes, the effectiveness of current healthcare practices through observation of participants in their natural settings
  • Cohort Studies: Following-up groups of individuals with common characteristics over time to examine long-term health outcomes and correlations between exposures and health results.
  • Cross-Sectional Studies: For assessing the health statuses of a population at a specific point in time providing a snapshot of particular disease prevalence or health conditions within a defined group.
  • Case-Control Studies: For comparing individuals with a particular disease or outcome (cases) to those without it (controls), aiming to identify potential risk factors or causes of the condition.
  • Pharmacovigilance Studies: For assessing the safety of drugs and treatments, monitoring adverse effects and ensuring ongoing safety after the introduction of a drug or therapy in the public.
  • Translational research: For bridging basic science discoveries into practical health applications that can directly benefit patient care and improve patient outcomes.
