| Year of foundation | he FP-MCRN ONLUS was established in 2015 with the aim of developing competence, infrastructure, networking and education for paediatric clinical trials. Since 2003, the year FP-MCRN was founded, Family Paediatricians have participated to various clinical studies and research projects in collaboration with the most important national Universities and/or Research Institutes. This has allowed them to acquire experience and rigorous methodology in clinical paediatrics research. Despite the fact that in the opening phases, Family Paediatrician involvement in clinical trials was quite poor throughout the Italian territory, from 2008 a national organisation has created the characteristics for a fully independent scientific running of clinical trials.
