Abstract
The objectives of drug R&D in China have shifted toward innovation and globalization, highlighting the ecological imperative to involve innovative partner-like academic research organizations (AROs). AROs are led by academic institutions and, when compared to contract research organizations (CROs), their strengths lie in promoting academic excellence, knowledge sharing, independence, collaborative networks and industry partnerships. Our desk-based analysis shows that although the service scope of Chinese AROs is similar to that of AROs in the US, they lack experience in broad service provision for innovative drugs, institution-institutional platforms and industry partnerships. We make several suggestions about how to achieve the synergy of academic institutions and industry-based organizations in drug innovation by using a ARO-CRO hybrid service model.
