Fondation Congolaise pour la Recherche Médicale was created in November 2008. After making the observation that the human resources and the existing infrastructure (laboratories, library, etc.) were very insufficient to allow the emergence and the blooming of the Congolese researchers of high level, interested in developing scientific research and public health especially in Congo-Brazzaville,have decided to set up this tool which is the Congolese Foundation for Medical Research to be an additional support for research, public health and higher education in Congo - Brazzaville.

It is administered by a board of directors composed of founding members, of several persons recognized for their skills and morals. Most of the members of the foundation have or have had functions related to public health, health research and more specifically to tropical diseases such as malaria, HIV / AIDS, tuberculosis, project management and research teams. Only the permanent secretariat is remunerated by the foundation.
