The CTEUs design and implement clinical trials and studies, while the NCC provides the administrative and operational framework for a collaborative, integrated network and engages with experts in the field to solicit and generate clinical trial concepts. The NCC and CTEUs will collaboratively create opportunities to advance investigators early in their careers and those new to the field.
