NINDS established the NIH StrokeNet (http://nihstrokenet.org) to facilitate the development, promotion, and conduct of high-quality, multi-site clinical trials focused on key interventions in stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery. An additional goal of the StrokeNet is to educate future stroke investigators and researchers in stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery. The educational core provides webinars focused on stroke, research methodology, and professional development. This network of 27 regional centers across the U.S., which involves approximately 500 hospitals in the U.S., is designed to serve as the infrastructure and pipeline for exciting new potential treatments for patients with stroke and those at risk for stroke. In addition, NIH StrokeNet will provide an educational platform for stroke physicians, clinical trial coordinators, and stroke researchers.
