The Collaboration Network
ABOUT THE COLLABORATION NETWORK (TCN)
The Collaboration Network (TCN) was established in 2018 to connect investigators to resources and potential collaborators.
TCN aims to overcome geographical, institutional, and disciplinary barriers to foster transdisciplinary and translational research collaborations across the CCTST partner institutions, including the University of Cincinnati (UC), Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), and UC Health. TCN also extends its reach to the wider community, particularly those engaged in academic-community partnerships. Our members come from research, clinical, and academic units across these institutions.
​
Who Are We? TCN is a growing group of investigators, educators, clinical providers, and other innovators who meet once a month to learn about each other, available resources, and funding opportunities. These sessions serve as a Community of Practice for those engaged in or supporting collaborative endeavors. Open discussions are facilitated by our team of Collaboration and Team Science experts. Members and guests are frequently invited to present a "Spotlight" on their research and collaborative interests, as well as to introduce members to available services or new resources. ​
