Pan-Asia Clinical Research Association (PACRA) is a non-profit division within the ACROSS Global organization.

PACRA has a rich and vibrant history, reflecting that of the old Silk Road that today has morphed into the modern day Silk Road Economic Belt.

PACRA was formed in May 2009, and was registered in Singapore as a non-profit organization. The goal of PACRA has been to provide standardized training for clinical research professionals across the Asia Pacific region, from Japan in the Far East through to Asia Minor & the Middle East.

During the decade 2009-2019 PACRA became a recognized name within the bio-pharma industry across the length and breadth of Asia. Throughout this decade, PACRA successfully delivered high quality training throughout Asia for clinical researchers and healthcare professionals, including but not limited to Good Clinical Practice, Business Skills training, SOP writing, Quality Assurance and much more. In addition, with its non-profit status, PACRA also successfully engaged with the Health Ministries of multiple countries in Asia to provide valuable training and consultancy.

Today, PACRA still holds true to its roots in supporting and developing clinical research activities along the length of the modern day Silk Road. In a rapidly changing world, driven in large by the explosion of technology within the clinical research sector, PACRA has been absorbed as an a self-supporting non-profit division within the broader global alliance of bio-pharma industry service sector companies – ACROSS Global.

Welcome to the "NEW PACRA", geographically aligned to the Silk Route, and continuing to provide valuable and much needed services to the constantly evolving clinical research landscape across a dynamic and ever developing Asia.
