The Clinic Foundation is a non-profit institution created in May 1989. Its mission is to promote, manage and perform biomedical research and provide teaching in the health sciences field, concentrating particularly on the areas of expertise of the Clinic Hospital of Barcelona and the fields in which the Hospital operates either individually or in partnership with other organisations.
In fulfilling its mission, the Foundation's actions are governed by the imperative to meet the population's health needs and comply with overarching direction and planning criteria. The Foundations work is also inspired by its aim to foster health and teaching development and co-operation between peoples.
Since 1989, the Foundation has been providing researchers at the Clinic Hospital of Barcelona with the support needed to manage and develop their projects successfully and justify resource used to funding institutions. An agreement signed with the Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) makes the Clinic Foundation responsible for management of the significant proportion of research conducted within that framework.
