About RTRN

Protocol Review

The Protocol Review Committee (PRC) is provides the RTRN with thorough, scientific, ethical and operational assessment of study concept plans and research protocols. The PRC identifies clinical research resources and expertise, DTCC resources, potential biomedical ancillary studies, feasibility of multi-site approach, assess community level involvement, potential cost implications and make recommendations for required resources that may be needed for implementation.

The PRC prioritizes areas of research focus, determines guidelines for protocol submission to the RTRN, reviews and approves RTRN ancillary studies, identifies institutional and national resources aimed at potential collaboration, and reviews all existing relevant clinical studies in participating Clinical Research Centers (CRC) for inclusion in RTRN.
