Today's ClinForce, with two decades of experience in the clinical research industry, is the result of several premier companies joining forces to better serve the clinical research and scientific communities.


Clinical Trials Support Services (CTSS), the founding operation, was established in 1991 in the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina. CTSS purchased ClinForce, formerly I.E. Associates, in 1997, and subsequently purchased Temporary Tech in 1998, which serviced industrial, environmental, and academic labs throughout North Carolina. These acquisitions expanded the national delivery capabilities of the company and led to additional expertise in the pre-clinical and scientific disciplines. The group rebranded as ClinForce in April of 2000.


ClinForce's parent company, Cross Country, Inc. is the nation's leading and largest healthcare staffing company with over twenty years of history. Cross Country services more than 2500 clients throughout all 50 states and is the ultimate resource for nursing professionals seeking career opportunities and advancement.
