Rocky Mountain Network for Neuroscience Clinical Studies (RMNNCS)

描述（由申请方提供）：作为对RFA-NS-11-008的回应，我们提议开发落基山神经科学临床研究网络（RMNCS）。该计划将在科罗拉多大学医学院成人和儿童神经病学系内执行，并将在三个机构之间执行：科罗拉多大学医学院、科罗拉多大学医院和儿童医院。项目主任将是蒂莫西·沃尔默博士，医学博士，神经病学教授，与联合项目主任博士保罗Levisohn医学博士，儿童神经病学副教授。共同研究者将包括许多在成人和儿童神经病学、神经影像学和神经外科方面具有人类研究经验的教员。 共同研究者包括脑血管疾病、运动障碍、癫痫、行为/认知神经学、神经遗传学、神经免疫学、神经眼科学和成人和儿童患者神经肌肉疾病领域的专家。 与RMNCS一起，我们建议发展落基山神经科学临床研究联盟（RMANCS）。这将是RNNCS，社区神经学家和社区患者倡导团体之间的合作，重点关注整个落基山脉地区的神经系统疾病。这将进一步增强RNNCS为NEXT研究接触罕见患者人群的能力，并为NEXT卓越中心确定新的临床研究概念奠定基础。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to RFA-NS-11-008, we are proposing to develop the Rocky Mountain Network for Neuroscience Clinical Studies (RMNNCS). This program will reside at the University Of Colorado School Of Medicine within the Departments of Adult and Child Neurology, and will be executed between three institutions: University of Colorado School of Medicine, University of Colorado Hospital and The Children's Hospital. The Program Director will be Dr. Timothy Vollmer, M.D., Professor of Neurology, with Co-Program Director Dr. Paul Levisohn M.D., Associate Professor of Child Neurology. Co-Investigators will include numerous faculty members with experience in human research in adult and child neurology neuroimaging, and neurosurgery. Co-investigators include specialists in the fields of Cerebrovascular Disease, Movement Disorders, Epilepsy, Behavioral/Cognitive Neurology, Neurogenetics, Neuroimmunology, Neuroopthalmology and Neuromuscular Disease in both adult and pediatric patients. In conjunction with the RMNNCS, we propose to develop the Rocky Mountain Alliance for Neuroscience Clinical Studies (RMANCS). This will be collaboration between the RMNNCS, community-based neurologists and community-based patient advocacy groups focused on neurological disease from throughout the Rocky Mountain region. This will further enhance RMNNCS' ability to reach rare patient populations for NEXT studies and lay the foundation for identifying new clinical research concepts for the NEXT Centers of Excellence.
