WHO WE SERVE

For Sponsors & CRO's

Designed to function as a separate clearing house from the University of Tennessee (UT), CTN2’s operations permit a streamlined contracting process for our cross institutional initiative while allowing UT faculty and collaborating investigators to respond to opportunities for clinical trials at the speed of industry. As a UTRF subsidiary, CTN2 research expenditures are credited to UT. CTN2 markets its network participating hospitals and practice groups, and access to the Tennessee-Enterprise Data Warehouse (TN-EDW) and statewide trial patients to clinical trial Sponsors.

 

As a Site Management Organization (SMO), CTN2 aggregates a number of different health care providers/clinics to provide clinical trial related services to Sponsors seeking access to multiple sites to conduct a clinical trial. Sponsors and Contract Research Organizations (CRO’s) take responsibility for the overall oversight of the clinical trial. CTN2 provides centralized study start-up, centralized billing and payments, and tracked project management throughout the life of the trial. CTN2 works with the clinical trial Sponsor to ensure constructive feedback is being provided to the sites from the Sponsor organizations.This will ensure issues are addressed on a timely basis at the sites and contribute to CTN2's reputation with Sponsors.
