The Johns Hopkins Clinical Research Network’s collection of organizations and clinicians coordinate and support clinical trials that offer researchers the opportunity to collaborate with other purpose-driven researchers to advance and improve the practice of medicine.
The JHCRN conducts research in many disciplines including oncology, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, GI conditions, neurological disorders, and genomics. In addition to clinical trials, the JHCRN sites collaborate with Johns Hopkins physicians in grant applications researching patient outcomes, population health, and innovative device applications to monitor disease. The JHCRN has been very helpful in having JHU investigators obtain NIH, PCORI and foundation funding.
