NINDS Stroke Trials Network - Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers (U10)

Limited Submissions

This FOA solicits applications for Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers for the Stroke Trials Network. The primary goal of this 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.  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 Stroke Trials Network will include an active stroke research training program.  All network stroke centers will be committed to increasing the value of clinical research data through an aggressive data sharing plan.
