Singapore
Branch
The Singapore Branch of the Australasian Cochrane Centre
was established in July 2005 following several years
collaboration between the Centre and colleagues at the
Clinical Trials and Epidemiology Research Unit (CTERU)
in Singapore. A series of regular systematic review
workshops in Singapore have produced a growing cohort
of Cochrane review authors representing many Cochrane
review groups.
The Branch aims to promote and support Cochrane Collaboration
activities in Singapore and has the following tasks:
- To support the writing of Cochrane reviews by local
clinical researchers
- To conduct four Cochrane systematic review workshops
annually
- To network with regional Cochrane entities and contributors
to promote Cochrane Collaboration activities
In 2008 the Singapore Branch became part of the Singapore
Clinical Research Institute (SCRI) and moved to new
offices in Buona Vista. The Branch receives its funding
from the National Medical Research Council of the Singapore
Ministry of Health.
