More accessible research

Discover studies. Support research. Advance health.

RechercheSantéQuébec is a public portal that makes it easier to discover health research projects and clinical trials in Quebec. It brings studies, research institutions and the public closer together.

Three objectives

Making health research more accessible, in concrete ways.

  • Make research visible

    Simple, centralized access to health studies.

  • Support recruitment

    Make it easier to discover recruiting studies and their contact details, when available.

  • Bring research and the public closer together

    Better inform patients, their loved ones and health professionals.

Complementary data

A more complete view of health research.

RechercheSantéQuébec combines information from ClinicalTrials.gov with that of Quebec institutions using Nagano, to offer more complete information that is closer to the local reality.

  • Information published from Nagano can update projects and their recruitment.
  • When the NCT number is known, entries for the same study can be matched.
  • Sharing follows each institution's rules, without real-time synchronisation of every record.

RechercheSantéQuébec

Consolidated access to search for studies and understand them better.

Coming soon

Explore studies with artificial intelligence.

RechercheSantéQuébec is preparing a conversational assistant based on artificial intelligence. It will let you explore studies more naturally, by asking questions in your own words.

  • A more natural and intuitive search

  • A better understanding of study information

  • Help with discovery and orientation

The assistant will be designed as an information and orientation tool toward studies, not a substitute for a medical evaluation.

Expert directory

Discover the expertise behind research.

The RechercheSantéQuébec expert directory makes it easier to discover researchers, their areas of expertise and the research projects they are associated with.

  • Search for researchers

    By name or therapeutic area, with a location filter.

  • Areas linked to projects

    Areas of expertise are identified from the associated projects, then validated.

  • Scientific publications linked to ORCID

    Alongside the associated projects, publications made public on the researcher's ORCID record, when one is provided.

A partner ecosystem

Advancing access to research, together.

RechercheSantéQuébec is part of an ecosystem of organizations that help make clinical research more visible in Quebec.

  • CATALIS Québec

    Partner

    A collaboration to improve access to clinical research and support recruitment.

  • RARE.Qc

    Data use

    Uses RechercheSantéQuébec information for its resources on studies about rare diseases.

  • Participating institutions
