Trial Innovation Network (TIN)
The TIN is a collaborative national network within the CTSA Program that focuses on operational innovation, excellence, and collaboration, leveraging the expertise and resources of the CTSA Program to support and promote multi-site (three or more sites) clinical research. TIN also works in partnership with other NIH institutes and centers and provides a competitive funding advantage.
Researcher Support
The TIN supports researchers in streamlining multi-center study processes, leveraging national support along with local resources, reducing the time required to develop a multi-center study and connecting investigators with relevant experts.
There are two ways to get involved with TIN:
- The local TIN Liaison Team will connect investigators with multi-site clinical trials initiated by other network sites.
- Stanford investigators may submit proposals for multi-site trials to the TIN.
