Connector offers essential guidance and support at all phases of clinical research to clinical investigators across all of Harvard University’s schools and affiliated academic healthcare centers to facilitate high-quality research, particularly for early-stage investigators. Our Clinical Research Teams provide support throughout every stage of the research process. This begins with idea and protocol development, through IRB review, to recruitment, data acquisition, and dissemination of results, including free consultations and fee-based services.
Connector also works to link clinical investigators at Harvard University with the NCATS Trial Innovation Network (TIN), which serves as a conduit for conducting multisite studies. We can help investigators develop a high-quality, multi-center study and assist in the proposal process to the TIN, as well as provide investigators with an opportunity to become site investigators for an external study that is seeking collaborators through the TIN.
