Trial Innovation Network (TIN)

The vision of the TIN is to innovatively address critical roadblocks in multisite clinical research and accelerate the translation of novel interventions into life-saving therapies.

Ohio State/Nationwide Children's Hospital is a member of the Trial Innovation Network (TIN), a collaborative partnership with investigators at the 60+ hubs in the national CTSA network.

The Trial Innovation Network can help investigators planning multi-center clinical research with the following:

Protocol development
Study operations enhancement
Trial budgeting guidance
Regulatory agreements
Data coordination and management
Clinical coordination and management
Data safety and monitoring
Site identification
Recruitment planning and feasibility

“The TIN was a great FREE review of our grant prior to submitting it to NIH. The TIN addressed areas of concern and potential holes in our proposal allowing us to be successful in securing funding from NIH on initial submission.”

Ohio State Investigator

There are two ways to participate in the Trial Innovation Network:

Inbound studies: Researchers can participate in multisite clinical trials initiated by other network sites. These study requests are sent to the Ohio State TIN liaison team and then disseminated to investigators within the broader Ohio State/Nationwide Children's Hospital research community.
Outbound studies: Any researcher can submit projects of their own to be conducted using TIN network resources. Before submitting a proposal, investigators should reach out to the Ohio State TIN liaison team to learn more about which study resources available through the TIN they may want to utilize.
