Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of adult disability. Although the CDC
reports indicate that stroke mortality has decreased, more than 795,000 strokes are still reported each year. NINDS is the
lead institute for stroke at the National Institutes of Health. During the last 10 years, we have led a process of evaluating
research advances and opportunities. As part of the next phase in this research planning effort, NINDS is asking the community
to provide input on how to advance stroke science over the next 5 – 10 years in the areas of prevention, treatment and recovery.
We are most interested in learning about ideas for projects that would answer a scientific question with great scientific
or health impact. The deadline is June 30th for submitting responses to the RFI. Go to: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/strokerfi.
