PAHO's Regional Program on Bioethics, in collaboration with the Unit of Science and Knowledge for Impact and the Unit of Quality and Regulation of Medicines and Health Technologies, held on April 9, 2026, a seminar as part of the clinical trials series.
In this session, PAHO’s Clinical Trial Accelerator initiative was presented, along with the progress and ongoing projects aimed at strengthening the quality and impact of clinical trials in the Americas.
The PAHO Clinical Trial Accelerator seeks to enhance the efficiency of clinical trials in the region so that countries can lead research efforts that respond to the needs of all people across the Americas.
The Accelerator is an umbrella initiative that offers innovative tools to foster ethical, collaborative, and high-impact research, including monitoring dashboards and analytical viewers of clinical trial regulations in the Region, as well as indicators for strengthening national research ethics systems. It also provides other resources such as exchange forums among regulatory authorities, recordings of virtual seminars, and training materials.
