The Clinical Trials WG supports the development of clinical research programs and facilitates collaborative clinical research by engaging with investigators across institutions and disciplines. This group organizes and oversees the process for scientific peer reviews of submitted proposals, and the evaluation of new initiatives seeking funding through public and private granting agencies. This group arranges for the provision of methodological and content expertise in the development of a research program, identifies potential collaborative partners, and provides a letter of endorsement for funding agencies if a clinical research program is endorsed. This WG will track the progress of CTTG supported trials and make this information available on the CTTG website.
