Case Western Reserve University

Joint Clinical Research Centre, Uganda
The Joint Clinical Research Centre (JCRC) is Uganda’s leading center of excellence for AIDS care, treatment, research, and training. It was founded in 1990 as a strategic partnership between the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Defense, and Makerere University. The Ministry of Health is in charge of policy, Makerere University provides scientists and researchers, and the Ministry of Defense handles infrastructure needs. The JCRC has since expanded, and is currently the largest Antiretroviral (ART) provider in the country and one of the biggest PEPFAR supported ART centers in Africa. Furthermore, it is the most advanced reference laboratory for other centers providing ARVs in the country and the Great Lakes region with capacity to do sophisticated tests required for ARV therapy monitoring and detection of resistance to ARVs. JCRC is the secretariat for an NIH Research and Training Grant funded by Forgarty International Center called “The Uganda HIV/TB Clinical Operational and Health Services Research (COHRE) Program”. The program works through a collaboration of institutions which include: Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) USA, Makerere University Faculty of Medicine, Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), National TB/Leprosy Program (NTLP) and Kampala City Council (KCC). The program has supported a number of graduate students and has also established a new Health Services Master’s course at the Makerere School of Public Health.
