WELCOME TO THE MRCZ-SHARED WEBSITE

This site has been designed to cater for various groups with an interest in health research including investigators, study coordinators, health workers, policy makers, students and others. The site aims at promoting the ethical conduct of research and the dissemination and utilisation of health research information in Zimbabwe. The site contains information on the establishment and functioning of the MRCZ, information on the review and monitoring of research in Zimbabwe, news on health research, information on the Zim-SHARED Project, information on research requirements, forms for use by investigators, guidelines, MRCZ publications, profiles of all the major institutions that conduct research in Zimbabwe, profiles and contact details of all Provincial Medical Directorates in Zimbabwe, a link to Mysharing point ( a site for literature and news searches), links to related sites, links to information on HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe, links to funding agencies, research findings, information on relevant events and conferences.

Previously researchers and other stakeholders had to approach or call the MRCZ offices for enquiries. Now they have to consult the website first to find answers to their enquiries.

Most of the research that has been conducted in Zimbabwe has been uploaded to the SHARED Global database. One can access projects associated with any institution by clicking on the name of the institution on the right of the page. For all the Zimbabwean projects, a click on the SHARED logo on the right will take you to the SHARED Global database where one can do a “search by country, organisation or scientist”. Please feel free to send us your comments about this site.
