The TNCC will: (1) support a wide range of research projects in varying stages of development, implementation and completion, and (2) provide data and sample management, including standardized acquisition, quality control, dissemination, and public accessibility. The TNCC will also provide capitated payments, based on TrialNet-related activities, to Clinical Centers and Affiliate Sites.
