TranspariMED works to end evidence distortion in medicine.
Failure to register and fully report clinical trials harms patients, wastes taxpayers' money, and slows down the development of new treatments, vaccines and cures.
TranspariMED uses research-driven advocacy to develop and promote policy solutions to this ongoing public health crisis.
TranspariMED often collaborates with other nonprofits on issues of common interest.
Past and present collaborators include:
-
Collaboration for Research Integrity and Transparency at Yale Law School (CRIT)
TranspariMED is a member of the European Alliance for Responsible R&D and Affordable Medicines.
Set up in March 2017 by transparency campaigner Till Bruckner, TranspariMED has to date received external funding (less than £30,000 total) exclusively via individual research grants provided to its founder by HealthWatch, a UK registered charity that does not accept any funding from the pharmaceutical industry. TranspariMED's work is cross-subsidized through the consulting work of its founder (no pharma clients) and income from a part-time research followship at the QUEST Center of the Berlin School of Health. Any future funding will be promptly and fully disclosed on this website.
TranspariMED supports the AllTrials campaign and encourages other organizations to do the same, but is independent from AllTrials.
All content on this website is the sole responsibility of TranspariMED. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all TranspariMED outputs are produced without external funding and should not be taken to reflect the views of HealthWatch or other parties.
