Become a Trial Innovation Network Site Investigator

Features

Lead investigators from across the CTSA Program use the TIN Expression of Interest (EOI) process to recruit participating sites for their clinical trials. When the UR CTSI's TIN Liaison team receives an EOI request from the TIN, they will reach out to relevant departments to gauge researchers’ interested in being a site investigator for the trial described in the EOI. Any researchers who are interested in becoming the site investigator for a trial may be asked to review:

• EHR-based cohort assessment of the site
• Protocol review/feasibility assessment
• Budget review/feasibility assessment

Researchers can express their interest in joining the trial as a site investigator after reviewing the EOI documents.

If you agree to serve as a site investigator for a TIN study, this will not impact your .
