The National Centre for Clinical Research on Emerging Drugs (NCCRED) is a national research centre that seeks to embed research in clinical practice. It aims to support clinicians to detect and respond to new drug health problems by building clinical research capacity and rapidly translating findings into clinical practice. The Centre supports a national Prompt Response Network (PRN) which allows for rapid, flexible, and collaborative responses to emerging substances that may cause prevalent, persistent, and harmful health and community impacts. The PRN has been co-designed with the community to ensure a high level of community impact and relevance.
The Centre is made up of a consortium of the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC), acting as lead agency, St Vincent’s Health Australia (SVHA), National Drug Research Institute (NDRI) – Curtin University of Technology, and the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA) – Flinders University.
