Trials Network
a National Cancer Institute program
Introduction
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) would like to know about your experiences with the National
Clinical Trials Network (NCTN).
Your input will help NCI assess and refine the NCTN processes and identify areas for
improvement.
The survey will ask questions about NCTN structure, processes, and goals. It should take
approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Your responses will be kept private to the extent of the law and will be reported in the aggregate.
Your participation in this survey and your responses will have no bearing on your NCTN
participation or your future interactions with NCI. No personally identifying information will be
collected. We truly appreciate your honest input about your experiences with the NCTN.
Thank you for your assistance!

Use of New Processes for the Conduct of NCTN Clinical Trials
NCI CTEP provided guidance and modifications for the conduct of NCTN clinical trials during the
COVID-79 pandemic. Some of these modifications will continue as permanent new processes. We
would like to know whether your site will use these new processes, and if so, how useful you think
the new processes are.
13. For each of the following new processes, does your site plan to continue to use the
new process? If so, how useful do you think the new process is for the conduct of NCTN
trials at your site?
