Research and Collaborations
The UKTMN works in collaboration with several trial groups and is actively involved in methodology research.
Collaborations
Research and Methodology
NIHR-MRC Trials Methodology Research Partnership
Launched on the 1st June 2019, the Trials Methodology Research Partnership is made up of five Hubs for Trials Methodology Research, and five partner networks, of which UKTMN is one.
This partnership allows important research to be conducted into the efficient design and management of trials, combining the expertise of multiple groups. Novel methodology can be explored and implemented, and our focus is to ensure that trial management is well represented within this new phase of methodology research. We hope that, as UKTMN members, you will take this opportunity to contribute to this vital research.
The UKTMN hosts a trial methodology webinar series on behalf of the TMRP. All partners are invited to present webinars within this series, covering a wide range of topics. Upcoming TMRP methodology webinars can be found on our EVENTS page, while recordings of previous webinars are all available on our RESOURCES page.

The UKTMN are keen to ensure that trial management professionals have the opportunity to be involved in methodology research and projects which may be beneficial to professional development.
We make our members aware of research through a variety of means, such as email broadcasts, monthly bulletins and social media activity. We openly encourage trial management professionals to be involved in methodology research relevant to trial management.
We also share results and resources from relevant methodology research to ensure trial management professionals are aware of new and useful research findings.
If you would like to share resources, or request trial management involvement in a research project, please contact us: [email protected]
UKCRC Registered CTU Trial Management Operational Group
The CTU Network has formed a trial management specific operational group, and the UKTMN are pleased to be an integral part of this group, along with six trial managers from registered CTUs across the UK. This group is working on bridging gaps in operational issues encountered by trial management professionals, and will work in conjunction with other operational groups to properly represent trial management as a whole.
