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 Clinical Site Hubs to serve as “Hubs” for regional emergency department consortia. 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 the Statistical and Data Management Center (RFA NS-06-008) 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.
