Do you have a dream multi-center study? At Tufts CTSI, we have a unique, time-limited opportunity to access substantial resources and support to run multi-center studies. Through a new program, the
Trial Innovation Network, the
National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) will invest in clinical research infrastructure to support protocol development and study initiation. This includes things like establishing a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), developing an analytic plan, writing and implementing recruitment plans, and nearly everything else that goes into running a multi-center study.
Through a recent award from NCATS, Tufts CTSI-affiliated investigators have a chance to get early access to these resources.
Your protocol does not need to be complete - you just need to have a good idea that is somewhat developed. The drawback? A short proposal is due on
Wednesday, December 7.
If you have been contemplating a study, wishing resources would suddenly become available to help make it a reality, this could be your chance.
Please review our
Trial Innovation Network web page, then contact Director of Clinical Research Operations
Edward Kuczynski, MA or Lead Navigator
Daniel Weiner, MD, MS for more information.
PLEASE NOTE: investigators are not permitted to submit a proposal without prior approval.
