Introduction

This purpose of this report is to present updated information about the structure
and scientific activity of CIBERES in 2013, as well as the resources used and results

obtained.

2013 entailed progress in the development of Corporate Research Programmes
(CRPs) and transversal platforms, and it has made CIBERES a competitive research

centre in the field of respiratory diseases on both national and international level.

CRPs have been focusing on specific respiratory pathologies with a high prevalence,

morbi-mortality and high public health care cost and are the tools making up the
backbone of the CIBERES’s multicentre and multidisciplinary projects.

In 2013 the Strategic Projects (SPs) of the CRPs entered the developmental stage

after having been evaluated by the Agencia Nacional de Evaluación y Prospectiva

(National Agency of Evaluation and Planning- ANEP) and by the External Scientific
Advisory Committee. The development of said SPs will focus on the work of the CI-

BERES until 2015 and will be evaluated every year by independent experts.

The work done and effort made by CIBERES staff, comprising almost 450 professio-
nals with a multidisciplinary profile, who carried out clinical, basic and translational

research, to face the challenge raised by respiratory diseases and to move forward

in their research, is clearly reflected in this report.
