INTRODUCTION:

The discipline of Clinical Pharmacology was started in 1960s in India and it contributed to development of new drugs, regimens, rational use of drugs, pharmacogenetic etc. This was mostly done in a few academic, ICMR, CSIR Institutions & Pharmaceutical Industry. The Eleventh five year plan of Govt. of India (2006-2011 ) envisaged reduction in infant mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio, reduction in malaria and dengue mortality, maintaining DOTS coverage & response, enhancement in public health spending of GDP, increase in infrastructure and human resources. Medicines form a substantial amount of out of pocket expenses but account for only 10% of overall public health budget. 11th plan envisaged developing essential medicines list, standard treatment guidelines, safe drugs, their rational use and dissemination of information.

Now the discipline of Clinical Pharmacology needs to grow exponentially to meet the future challenges & opportunities of the projected growth of pharmaceutical industry to 20 billion by 2020, competition with other emerging markets, the predicted strategies of pharmaceutical industry to collaborate with health care providers,. Since inception ICMR has been supporting Clinical Pharmacology.

PLAN:

In its centenary year ICMR has proposed a major boost to developing clinical pharmacology in India.

Capacity building, human resource development, training programs with hands on experience catering to industry, public health, research and services have been planned.

The proposal for 12th plan has envisaged development of centres of excellence, outcome research, computerization, interdisciplinary consortia, research in advancing areas of technology relevant to Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacovigilance, economics, rational use of drugs, ethics and regulatory requirements.

Workshops:

As a first step in this direction, workshops in specialized areas have been planned and applications are invited.

1.      Modular Course on Pharmacovigilance

2.      Antibiotic Stewardship, Prevention of Infection and Control (ASPIC)

3.      Research Training Program: From Idea (I)/ Research Question to a Grant Proposal (I2P) and to Manuscript for Publication (I2M).

4.      Research Methodology Workshop in Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD).

5.      Statistical Concepts for Clinical Research–A Non-mathematical workshop (announcement awaited).
