Consult with experienced clinical trialists and experts in recruitment
Investigators are invited to request a consultation from the Trial Innovation Network for multicenter clinical trials and studies. Consultations are designed to help investigators, for example, develop proposals into protocols, enhance study operations, or improve recruitment and retention. Topics covered during consultations may include the underlying scientific premise, the study outcomes, approaches to statistical analyses, and other discrete services.

Testimonials from Investigators Following Consult Services
The TIC has provided timely feedback as I navigate protocol revisions required by ongoing discussions with the FDA, NIH, and the IRB. This has all been quite helpful.
Wow! This came together super fast and I am just amazed with the teams.
The group was very helpful and responsive with a lot of practical advice and flexible support options - all within a very tight timeline. It is well-organized and filled in some diffcult ‘gaps’ in putting this proposal together. I very much hope we are funded and that we have the opportunity to work together.
