ECRIN provides integrated support to multinational clinical research projects through information, consultancy, and a set of flexible services. This support, provided through the ECRIN European Correspondents (specialised ECRIN staff working in each national hub) is available to investigators and sponsors involved in multinational clinical research projects, for any category of research, and in any medical field:

• Information and consultancy are provided during the preparation of the study, and do not require submission to the Scientific Board
• Services are provided during the conduct of the project. Access to the services requires submission of the protocol to the ECRIN Scientific Board (download the instructions to applicants). Once the project is accepted, a task delegation contract defines the role and responsibilities of ECRIN in the conduct of the project.

Provision of consultancy and services is coordinated by the ECRIN European Correspondent in the country hosting the principal investigator and/or the sponsor of the study. Please contact your national European Correspondent.

Users of ECRIN consultancy and services are clinical research projects initiated by academic investigators or disease-oriented scientific networks, projects sponsored by public institutions, public-private partnerships, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), medical devices or pharmaceutical companies.
