To the healthcare institutions in the Crossover Clinical Research Infrastructures Network (COCRIN), Crossover brings a wealth of expertise and best practices in running clinical trials and meeting the international standards demanded by sponsors and regulatory authorities, as well as financing the CRUs, staff and equipment. The healthcare institutions in the Crossover network can carry out more studies and thereby offer more innovative diagnostic and therapeutic options to more patients than institutions which do not have this dedicated support.

Most if not all academic and teaching hospitals are involved in various national and international medical and scientific networks, for example by medical specialty, disease, medical technology or type of healthcare institution. The Crossover model is highly complementary to these networks. Crossover’s Clinical Research Units at hospitals in various countries enable these to implement the Clinical Trials they want to pursue, whether commercial or non-commercial. Thus, Crossover’s COCRIN is an operational infrastructure providing Clinical Trial support and standardised procedures, whereas the medical and scientific networks focus on the content of research programs. The Crossover model should increase the chances of hospitals and their investigators to be selected for accommodating research activities sponsored by medical and scientific networks.

The following are the COCRIN membership options for your Healthcare Institution:

• You become a COCRIN Partner, maintain your own existing institutional CRU, and receive the Crossover SOPs, training and annual audits. Crossover markets COCRIN worldwide to sponsors and brings clinical trials to its Partners;
• You become a COCRIN Supported Partner by establishing your own institutional CRU, and receiving all of the above, plus initial and ongoing management support;
• You become a COCRIN Co-Development Partner by establishing a Crossover CRU, and receiving all of the above, plus Crossover will equip and staff the CRU – including CRF data entry – at its cost, where you provide the space;
• You become a COCRIN Full-Development Partner by establishing a Crossover CRU, and receiving all of the above, plus Crossover will provide the office for the CRU on your campus;
• If your Institution already has an institutional CRU, you may want to discuss a transfer to Crossover.
