Clinical Trials Oversight Group
The Clinical Trials Oversight Group (CTOG) provides oversight of the pathway for locally sponsored clinical trials at the University.
CTOG was formed in the spring of 2021 in response to an external review to maximise the success of the clinical trials pathway. Its remit is to:
- Celebrate the successes of locally-sponsored clinical trials, and encourage dissemination and implementation of their findings
- Monitor the implementation of the University's clinical trials strategy
- Review the size and composition of the portfolio of locally-sponsored clinical trials
- Advise on funding opportunities to develop locally-sponsored clinical trials
