Title
NIH StrokeNet Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers (U24)
Agencies
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by NINDS, is to invite currently awarded NIH StrokeNet centers and potential new stroke centers to participate as a Regional Coordinating Stroke Center in the NIH StrokeNet clinical trials network. The goal of this existing network is to maximize efficiencies to develop, promote and conduct high-quality, multi-site clinical trials focused on key interventions in stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery with the objective to have a balanced portfolio between all three approaches. Exploratory Phase 1/2 and confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trials as well as biomarker-validation studies that are immediately preparatory to trials will be coordinated through separate National Clinical Coordinating (NCC) and National Data Management Centers (NDMC).
Funded regional coordinating stroke centers in the network will have both clinical science excellence and specialized expertise in stroke management, a strong background in stroke research, and a proven ability to recruit stroke patients. Each regional stroke center will also have strong collaborative relationships between vascular neurology, emergency medicine, interventional neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurointensive care, neuroimaging, stroke rehabilitation, and pediatric neurology, indicating a commitment to offer every eligible patient the opportunity to participate in a trial conducted through the network. In addition, the NIH Stroke Trials Network will include an active stroke research career enhancement program. All network stroke centers will be committed to increasing the value of clinical research data through an aggressive data sharing plan.
