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:

1. To support the writing of Cochrane reviews by local clinical researchers
2. To conduct four Cochrane systematic review workshops annually
3. 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.
