Centre for Innovation in Regulatory Science: CIRS

The Centre for Innovation in Regulatory Science (CIRS) is a neutral research organisation that provides a forum for policy leaders from government regulators, health technology assessment (HTA) agencies, the pharmaceutical industry, and other stakeholders in healthcare, such as patient organisations and academia. We focus on improvements in policies and processes for regulation and HTA. CIRS also supports the development of agency capacity, including in low- and middle-income countries.

The CIRS team works internationally and is headquartered in the UK. CIRS works collaboratively with stakeholders worldwide, runs research projects internationally and conducts meetings globally to feed into and build on this research. Organisationally, CIRS is a wholly owned and independently managed UK subsidiary of Clarivate, with our funding derived from membership dues, special projects and grants from non-profits and governments.
