The Joint Clinical Research Board (JCRB) is a formal part of the oversight structures of both Queen Mary and Barts Health.

The JCRB was established to oversee the work of the JRMO and provide assurance to both Barts Health and Queen Mary that its clinical research is being carried out in accordance with:

• Barts Health and Queen Mary's clinical research strategies and policies;
• Legal and regulatory requirements;
• Financial regulations; and
• The JCRB's formal Terms of Reference (revised March 2023) [PDF 141KB]

The remit of the JCRB includes all clinical research at Barts Health NHS Trust and Queen Mary's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, with a particular focus on research involving human subjects and tissues. It may, from time to time, set research-related activity targets and monitor progress in achieving them. In June 2022 it merged with the Barts Health Research Board, which was then disbanded.

The JCRB is accountable to the Barts Health Board and to Queen Mary's Senior Executive Team.
