Multisite Clinical Trial Support

Research Opportunities & Collaborations

The focus of the Research Opportunities & Collaborations (ROC) program is to work with the Trial Innovation Network, industry sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs) and other potential research collaborators to pair clinical research opportunities with MUSC investigators. Support to the MUSC research community includes:

• Dissemination of new research opportunities
• Assistance with feasibility and site selection assessments
• Coordination of site visits/teleconferences
• Comprehensive research support service matching
• Communication of collaborative opportunities with other institutions

Trial Innovation Network

What is a Trial Innovation Network?

The Trial Innovation Network (TIN) is a collaborative initiative of the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program to innovatively address crucial roadblocks in multisite clinical trials and accelerate the translation of novel interventions into lifesaving therapies.

The TIN leverages clinical trial expertise, skills, and knowledge from the 50+ participating academic medical centers to provide high quality operational support and evidence-based approaches to participant recruitment, engagement, and retention.

Why Contact the MUSC TIN Liaison Team?

The TIN liaison team is designed to support MUSC investigators by streamlining the multisite study process, allowing investigators to focus on the research question. The MUSC TIN liaison team assists investigators and study teams throughout the multisite study submission and implementation process by leveraging a broad range of local and national CTSA expertise and resources to coordinate and develop action plans best suited for our researchers.

How Do I Contact the MUSC TIN Liaison Team?
