Abstract

National medical institutes refer to the medical scientific research institutions which are established and funded by the state, embody the state's will, and implement scientific research activities in an organized way, such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA and the British Medical Council (MRC) in the UK. Since 2013, China has built 32 national clinical research centers (NCRC's) for 11 diseases to strengthen its ability of medical innovation, accelerate the transformation of health and health science and technology, and improve the level of medical service at the grass-roots level. Scientific performance evaluation is an utmost important way to guide and promote the construction and development of national medical research institutions. This paper summarizes the performance evaluation systems of the NIH and MRC and focuses on the evaluation contents and the index frameworks of both evaluation systems. Through comparison this paper is expected to provide an essential reference for the decision-maker to promote the performance management of national clinical research centers in China.
