NorCal-RCC for Northern California Regional Coordinating Center

系统地研究预防、治疗和恢复中风患者的方法对于减少中风的发生是至关重要的。 这一重大疾病的社会负担。多中心试验对于获得大量的 患者实际上完成了这样的研究。使用联盟模型，其中多个中心 持续启动多中心试验和招募患者可以更有效地利用资源， 在更短的时间内提高入学率。美国国立卫生研究院中风网络已经使这一模型成为现实与加州大学旧金山分校（NorCal- RCC; RCC-13）作为25个区域协调中心（RCC）之一。NorCal-RCC由UCSF创建 与北方加州的凯泽医疗机构（KPNC）合作， 以及现有的多中心临床试验基础设施。NorCal-RCC现在包括14个站点，其中包括5个 KPNC网站遍布整个地区，结合了学术和社区网站，涵盖了各种各样的 患者人群。此外，我们的中风奖学金继续培训中风研究的领导者， 大多数人继续从事与学术中风相关的工作。这个RCC将中风研究带到了一个多样化的 非西班牙裔白人现在仅占50%的简单多数，拉丁裔和亚裔 太平洋岛屿人口正在增长。我们最近在夏威夷的奥肯市增加了皇后医疗中心， 访问一个关键人口亚太岛民社区。NorCal-RCC将继续作为顶级 以优异的数据质量，提供新的重要的研究思路和贡献， 网络作为一个整体，并提供最高水平的奖学金培训，以下一代中风 院士们

Systematic study of methods to prevent, treat, and recover patients with stroke is essential to reduce the societal burden of this significant disease. Multi-center trials are essential to accrue significant numbers of patients to practically complete such research. Using a consortia model whereby multiple centers are continually initiating multicenter trials and enrolling patients allows for more efficient use of resources and higher enrollment rates in shorter time. The NIH StrokeNet has made this model a reality with UCSF (NorCal- RCC; RCC-13) as one of 25 Regional Coordinating Centers (RCCs). NorCal-RCC was created by UCSF pairing with Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) to access brain-trusts of stroke researchers and the existing infrastructure for multi-center clinical trials. NorCal-RCC now includes 14 sites including 5 KPNC sites across the region, with a combination of academic and community sites across a range of diverse patient populations. In addition, our Stroke Fellowship continues to train leaders in stroke research with the majority continuing in academic stroke related endeavors. This RCC brings stroke research to a diverse population where non-Hispanic whites now comprise only a simple majority at 50% and with Latino and Asian Pacific Islander populations that are growing. We recently added Queen's Medical Center in Oahu, Hawaii to access a key population Asian Pacific Islander community. NorCal-RCC will continue to serve as a top enrolling site with excellent data quality, to provide new important study ideas and contributions to the network as a whole, and to provide top level fellowship training to the next generation of stroke academicians.
