Description

(Reissue of RFA-NS-16-016) The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applications from new and existing sites to serve as Clinical Centers (Hubs) in the SIREN Network. SIREN conduct of several multi-center Phase III clinical trials, to improve the outcomes for patients with neurologic, cardiac, respiratory, hematologic, and traumatic conditions. SIREN is made up of one Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC), one Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and 11 clinical centers (Hubs). A Hub is usually an academic center or tertiary referral center which actively enrolls patients into all of the clinical trial performed in SIREN. Hubs also provide scientific leadership and administrative oversight to their multiple satellite sites ("Spokes"). Together the Hub and Spokes provide access to a large and varying patient population for clinical trials. SIREN performs a number of simple, pragmatic clinical trials in the emergency department and pre-hospital settings. The clinical trials are meritorious, peerreviewed projects which are awarded under separate funding announcements.
