Multicenter clinical trials play a critical role in the translational processes that enable new treatments to reach all people and improve public health. However, conducting multicenter randomized (mRCT) presents challenges. The Trial Innovation Network (TIN), established 2016 partner with Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) Consortium of academic medical institutions implementation mRCTs, consists 3 Centers (TICs) 1 Recruitment Center (RIC). This unique partnership has aimed address...

Abstract The Trial Innovation Network has established an infrastructure for single IRB review in response to federal policies. Network’s (sIRBs) have successfully supported over 70 multisite studies via more than 800 reliance arrangements. This generated several lessons learned that can benefit the national clinical research enterprise, as we work improve conduct of trials. These include distinguishing roles from institutional Human Research Protections programs, establishing a consistent...
