Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de Navarra (IdiSNA)

What Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de Navarra (IdiSNA) does

IdiSNA (Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de Navarra), legally constituted as Fundación Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de Navarra (FIdiSNA), is a non-profit health research foundation established in 2019 and headquartered on the Hospital Universitario de Navarra campus in Pamplona, Spain. The institute operates as the integrative consortium for biomedical research in the Navarra region, uniting eight partner institutions — Clínica Universidad de Navarra (CUN), Hospital Universitario de Navarra (HUN), Universidad de Navarra (UN), Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA), Centro de Investigación Médica Aplicada (CIMA), Navarrabiomed, Instituto de Salud Pública y Laboral de Navarra (ISPLN), and Atención Primaria del SNS — under a translational research model spanning basic, clinical, epidemiological, and health services research organized into eight research areas.

The institute's core technology is a shared translational research infrastructure rather than a commercial product suite. Operational offerings include the Fundanet research-management platform, a technological offer/transfer portal, bibliographic services aligned with DORA and CoARA principles, training jornadas on clinical topics, an intramural aid funding program (Ayudas Intramurales), and a responsible research and innovation (RRI) program with citizen-science and patient-engagement components. IdiSNA holds HRS4R HR Excellence in Research accreditation from the European Commission (November 2023) and is GDPR/LOPDGDD compliant, serving as both Data Controller and Processor across its research and educational activities.

IdiSNA does not sell products or charge fees for its core collaboration services. Its revenue is generated through public research funding (Gobierno de Navarra, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, EU FEDER and FSE+), private foundation grants (Fundación Mutua Madrileña, Fundación Ciganda Ferrer), and technology transfer activities including licensing of research outcomes and collaboration with industry. The institute serves as a community-of-practice platform for affiliated researchers, residents, and clinical staff across its partner institutions, with no disclosed external commercial customers, pricing model, or revenue figures.
