"Thematic Networks for Coopearative Research in Health (RETICS)"

The RETICS (Thematic Networks for Cooperative Research in Health) are organisational structures formed by the association of different multidisciplinary biomedical research groups at the Carlos III Institute of Health. Its objective is to promote the collaboration between the research groups of the National Health System that works on related subjects while facilitating structuring of the research carried out.

In terms of its structure, a general coordinator will be responsible for the scientific coordination and monitoring of the network and the programme coordinators will be responsible for the scientific coordination of each programme. For its constitution and maintenance, the participation of between 6 and 15 research groups per programme and 4 or more autonomous communities is necessary.

There are currently 17 cooperative health research networks, including the Primary Care Prevention and Health Promotion Research Network  (redIAPP), coordinated by the IDIAPJGol.   

 

"Primary Care Prevention and Health Promotion Research Network" (redIAPP)

IDIAP Jordi Gol coordinates the redIAPP (Primary Care Prevention and Health Promotion Research) and also participates in different groups, such as GRenSSAP group, led by Dr. Bonaventura Bolíbar (in which members of GrenSSAP group and the Lifestyle Group of  IDIAPJGol participate) and Cardiocat, led by Dr. Rafael Ramos (in which members of  ISV Girona group, ARTPER group and GRECAP group of  IDIAPJGol participate).

RedIAPP is a network formed by several research groups with the aim of generating valid knowledge for Primary Care, especially on effectiveness and efficiency of innovative interventions in prevention and health promotion, as well as transmitting the necessary information for the population, scientific community and service managers to integrate prevention and apply the results obtained to routine clinical practice and the organisation of services.

"Centers of Biomedical Research in Network" (CIBERs)

The CIBERs were created by the Carlos III Institute to promote research in priority fields of biomedicine and health sciences, which is carried out in the National Health System and in the Science and Technology System. They are public consortia for collaborative research in different thematic areas, involving more than 400 research groups from hospitals, universities, and public intitutions throughout Spain.   

IDIAPJGol participates in different CIBERs:
