Five groups led by IMIM and Hospital del Mar professionals have been accepted as part of the new RICORS research networks. These Redes de Investigación Cooperativa Orientadas a Resultados en Salud, or Networks of Cooperative Research oriented to Health Results in English, are decided by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III and include funding, which in this case will be over €1.1 million. One of these groups will actually coordinate one of the RICORS networks. The aim of these new bodies is to promote research oriented towards health results by coordinating the research activity within the Spanish National Health System around a defined and focused research objective that is specifically useful for the general public, as well as structuring R&D&I in research groups from different Autonomous Communities, guiding their research activity towards common goals that enable results to be achieved which can then be transferred to the Spanish populace.
