The Research Unit Network was created with the purpose of enabling direct communication among clinical and translational research units (CTRUs). The immediate goal is to identify best practices and share them for future adoption in different CTRUs. Long-term, the goal is to establish standard benchmarks to evaluate the performance of individual Clinical and Translational Research Units, and compare the performance of units across the nation.
