The creation of Health Research Institutes responds to the clear need to develop appropriate answers to the large number of questions that arise in the daily practice of healthcare specialities. The great peculiarity of the questions arising in the field of biomedical research is that their answers have exceptional social and economic value in return.
Therefore, the creation of Health Research Institutes is an event of great significance, bringing stable research structures closer to the setting where critical questions are generated. Furthermore, the challenge posed by today’s societies is to aspire to research excellence; in this regard, Health Research Institutes must adapt to the quality requirements necessary to achieve these goals.
