CIMRC is a CABI-led consortium which developed and continues to manage the Research4Development portal for DFID. CIMRC stands for 'Communication & Information Management Resource Centre'.
Research4Development is a free to access on-line database containing information about the research programmes supported by DFID. The portal provides users with news, case studies and details of current and past research.
At CIMRC we are experts in developing and managing technology that helps people access and use the infomation they need. By developing classification systems and other information management tools we organise data and information. We also have expertise in developing multimedia tools and creating and maintaining websites and databases.
We bring organisations together from accross the world. From international development programmes to organisations based in developing countries we develop consortia and manage projects - identifying needs, providing advice and helping build capacity. CIMRC also develops communication and research networks, managing information services for clients worldwide.
We put the results from research projects into practice to help developing nations. Our speciality is in applied biological sciences.
We also have experience in using training in both information and the biological sciences to help build capacity in developing nations.
