NIDA Clinical Trials Network - New York Node

CTN的纽约节点是一个由学术中心、临床项目和当地和 区域机构在研究、培训、服务提供、 对成瘾障碍的政策制定、资助和宣传。该财团提供了一系列丰富的 该中心拥有丰富的人力资源，并可在纽约市、纽约州和各地区获得大量的临床和政策资源。 这些研究人员、提供者和政策制定者一起进行了广泛的大规模临床试验 专业知识、广泛的研究兴趣、独特的治疗能力以及广泛的服务和政策 经验。在过去的五年中，纽约节点建立了有效的内部和外部工作 关系，它为国家CTN基础设施做出了贡献，它建立了坚实而灵活的本地 基础设施，并作为牵头节点和参与节点有效地实施了协议。 NY Node在2002年3月组织NIDA的NY混合会议中发挥了关键作用，并已 成功地与新兴的地方联盟合作，促进了CTN创新的传播和采用。 NY节点提供者和研究人员参与了三项研究的规划和开发(START、ADHD 和处方阿片类止痛药依赖协议)，这将是NIDA比下一个 几年来，我们的CTP都处于测试和引入医疗干预的有利地位。 本建议是根据CTN五年的经验和我们对 CTN取得的成就和面临的挑战。我们的整体主题方法充分利用了CTN 和Node迄今的成就，并应对未来的挑战。我们引入了新的调查员 和专业知识，我们描述了CTN研究的增强的科学到实践模型，我们扩展了关系 与州和地方政府机构合作实现这一点，我们提出了一个有效的研究概念 在这个框架内。主题包括接触初级保健提供者，扩大相关成果， 与能够分担研究成本和促进采用的机构合作，并解决 报销和护理的组织。我们的研究理念建立在这些主题之上，以扩大研究范围 并提高CTN研究产生影响并导致改善医疗保健的可能性 在更广泛的层面上。

The New York Node of the CTN is a consortium of academic centers, clinical programs and local and regional agencies with a long track record of fruitful collaboration in research, training, service delivery, policy-making, funding and advocacy for the addictive disorders. The consortium offers a rich array of human talent and has access to vast clinical and policy resources in NY City, NY State and regionally. Together, these investigators, providers and policy-makers have extensive large-scale clinical trials expertise, a broad range of research interests, unique treatment capacity and extensive services and policy experience. Over the past five years the NY Node has built effective internal and external working relationships, it has contributed to the national CTN infrastructure, it has built a solid and flexible local infrastructure and it has effectively implemented protocols as a Lead Node and as a Participating Node. The NY Node played a key role in organizing NIDA's NY Blending Conference in March, 2002, and has successfully worked with emerging local coalitions to foster dissemination and adoption of CTN innovations. NY Node providers and researchers are involved in planning and developing three studies (START,ADHD and prescription opiate analgesic dependence protocols) that will be of high priority for NIDA over the next few years and our CTPs are all well positioned to test and introduce medical interventions. The present proposal is contextualized by five years of CTN experience and by our assessment of the accomplishments of, and challenges facing, the CTN. Our overall thematic approach capitalizes on CTN and Node accomplishments to-date and addresses challenges for the future. We bring in new investigators and expertise, we describe an enhanced science-to-practice model for CTN studies, we expand relationships with state and local government agencies to enable this, and we propose a research concept that works within this framework. Themes include reaching out to primary-care providers, extending relevant outcomes, partnering with agencies that can share study costs and foster adoption, and addressing systems of reimbursement and organization of care. Our research concept builds on these themes to extend the reach of the CTN and to enhance the likelihood that CTN studies will have impact and lead to improved healthcare on a broader level.
