Project History

The Networks for Clinical Research website houses a searchable database or inventory of eligible, participating clinical research networks. It contains demographic information about each network and links to ClinicalTrials.gov which lists the associated trials. The Inventory is continuously adding clinical research networks as they are created and/or identified.

Descriptive Survey and Best Practices Study Reports

These reports describe the organizational and operational characteristics of a sample of clinical research networks in several key areas and identify and examine network best practices that led to successful achievement of specified outcomes. These studies were completed in the spring of 2006 and the results presented at the National Leadership Forum.

National Leadership Forum

The National Leadership Forum was conducted to discuss the descriptive and best practices study findings, highlight selected best practices and disseminate this information to the research community. The National Leadership Forum was held on May 31 and June 1, 2006.
