Abstract: Objective  To investigate the current situation of the construction of the clinical research methodology platform, the provision of clinical research services and the current difficulties and challenges faced by the clinical research methodology platforms of Beijing Clinical Research Quality Promotion Center, thus to promote the construction of the clinical research methodology platform and to improve the service system. Methods  The clinical research methodology platforms of Beijing Clinical Research Quality Promotion Center were taken as the survey unit, and we selected the people in charge of the platform as the survey object. The Questionnaire Star was used to collect information about the construction of the platform and the current situation of the service system. Results  A total of 22 platforms participated in this survey. Among them, 9 (40.9%) platforms are independent departments, and 13 (59.1%) platforms belong to other departments. The total number of staff on the platform was 311, of which 180 (57.9%) were full-time staff. The researchers were mainly female (71.4%), under the age of 45 (74.0%), 69.8% majored in public health and preventive medicine, and 59.8% obtained doctorate degree. All platforms surveyed provided clinical research methodology services, including research scheme design (22, 100%), project management (11, 50%) and research data management (17, 77.3%). There were a variety of service forms, such as entrusted cooperation, paid and free consultation. Twenty-one platforms carried out training in clinical research methodology, mainly through online thematic training. In addition, 15 (68.2%) platforms conducted health statistics methodology research. In talent training, 17 (77.3%) platforms have a clear career promotion route for full-time employees, and 13 (59.1%) platforms have a clear talent evaluation system. The main difficulties faced by the current platform construction are the lack of attention from hospitals, unclear promotion system for talents and insufficient funding. Conclusion  The construction of clinical research methodology platform in Beijing is basically satisfactory with some challenges. In the future, more attention should be paid to the development of clinical research methodology platform, and the talent training system as well as the financial support are warranted to be improved.
