As part of the recently awarded CTSA grant, Penn State has become a member of the Trial Innovation Network, a collaborative research network funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).
The Trial Innovation Network will provide study investigators with a broad range of services and consultations to optimize clinical trials and studies. These services and consultations are designed to help investigators develop proposals into protocols, optimize study operations, and enhance recruitment and enrollment.
While still in its infancy, the proposal submission process was recently opened. Details can be found at https://trialinnovationnetwork.org/.
The first deadline requires a short turnaround; proposals are due December 7. However, this submission will be repeated as the process is developed and refined. Full-time faculty who have a proposal that could benefit from these services and consultations should contact the CTSI for help determining the next steps.
Details of the two types of requests, Level 1 and Level 2, are available here.
The timeline is short and this novel network is still in its infancy, but the Penn State CTSI is fortunate enough to be involved on the ground floor with this innovative project that may redefine best practices for the conduct of clinical trials and participant recruitment recruitment and retention.
If you have a concept for a study and you are looking for resources to make it become a reality - contact Charity Sauder, CTSI Administrative Director at 717-531-5619 or csauder@hmc.psu.edu.
