TCRN Materials

The materials provided below are for investigators requesting access to TIES Cancer Research Network (TCRN). TCRN studies require an Authorized User Agreement and IRB approval from your institution. Please refer to the materials needed from your own institution – for example, investigators from University of Pennsylvania should refer to the University of Pennsylvania materials.

Additionally, for studies needing reports and materials (tissue), IRB approval is needed from all institutions involved with the study. IRB approval for other institutions should be obtained by study collaborators.
