Self Service via the ACT Network
If you are an Emory or Morehouse School of Medicine investigator then you are eligible for access to the ACT Network which is a real-time platform allowing researchers to explore and validate feasibility for clinical studies across the NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) consortium. Access for Georgia Tech and UGA investigators is in development.
ACT helps researchers design and complete clinical studies, and is secure, HIPAA-compliant and IRB-approved. Please visit the ACTNetwork website to learn more about the ACT Network and to register for the service.
