Various clinical trial networks are being funded by GloPID-R members to ensure a rapid clinical research response to epidemics. The Clinical Trial Networks Working Group (CTN WG) provides the opportunity for these networks to meet regularly and learn about each other’s work.
GloPID-R created the CTN WG in March 2017 under the leadership of Gail Carson (ISARIC) to provide a forum to exchange and share best practices and to identify synergies for future collaboration. This may be either through capacity building, developing tools and standards, or running studies.
Current Focus Areas:
- Social science approach
- Capacity building
- Data sharing, in close collaboration with the GloPID-R Data Sharing Working Group
- Ethical, administrative, regulatory and legal barriers (EARL) to research
