NIH StrokeNet National Coordinating Center for year 2023 (U01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applications to participate as the National Coordinating (NCC) Center for the NIH Stroke Trials Network.Established by NINDS in 2013, the goal of the NIH StrokeNet is to harness the leadership and experience of the stroke research field to maximize efficiencies for developing, promoting and conducting high-quality, multi-site clinical trials focused on promising interventions for stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery with the objective of having a balanced portfolio between all three approaches. Multi-site exploratory and confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trials as well as biomarker-validation studies that are immediately preparatory to trials and ancillary studies designed to add scientific aims to active studies will be coordinated through a National Coordinating (NCC) and National Data Management Centers (NDMC) and multiple regional coordinating stroke centers (RCC's) with strong collaborative relationships between vascular neurology, emergency medicine, interventional neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurointensive care, neuroimaging, stroke rehabilitation, and pediatric neurology. The network will provide a robust, standardized, and accessible infrastructure to provide the development and implementation of protocols in in stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery. The NCC will provide leadership and overall network coordination to harness the clinical science excellence and specialized expertise in stroke management at the RCC's to facilitate the recruitment of stroke patients in multiple ongoing stroke trials and studies. This FOA solicits applications for the National Coordinating Center for the Stroke Trials Network. Separate FOAs solicit applications for the Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers and the National Data Management Center.
