Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials (NETT) Network Statistical and Data Management Center (U01)

Funding Contact(s): Robin Conwit, M.D.
Funding Categories: Clinical Research

Brief Description:
In order to improve outcomes for patients with neurological emergencies through research aimed at new therapies and their more effective implementation, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) seeks to develop a Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials (NETT) Network, comprising three essential components: a Clinical Coordinating Center, a statistical and data management center, and a network of clinical sites. The purpose of this RFA is to request applications for the NETT Network Statistical and Data Management Center (SDMC). The SDMC will provide data management and biostatistical support for the NETT Network. Applications for a NETT Network Clinical Coordinating Center (RFA NS-06-002, release date November 1, 2005 - http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NS-06-002.html) and for 11 clinical sites to serve as “Hubs” for regional emergency department consortia are being sought in separate solicitations. Funding for two large, streamlined phase III clinical trials is included in the developmental phase of the NETT Network initiative. (Please note that in RFA-NS-06-002, the Statistical and Data Management Center was referred to by the acronym “SCC”.)
