NorCal-RCC for Northern California Regional Coordinating Center

系统地研究预防、治疗和康复中风患者的方法对于减少中风患者的 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。使用联合体模型，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和 在更短的时间内提高入学率。NIH StrokeNet与加州大学旧金山分校(NorCal- RCC；RCC-13)作为25个区域协调中心之一。NorCal-RCC由加州大学旧金山分校创建 与Kaiser Permanente North California(KPNC)配对访问中风研究人员的智囊团 以及多中心临床试验的现有基础设施。NorCal-RCC现在包括14个站点，其中包括5个站点 KPNC网站遍布该地区，拥有一系列不同的学术和社区网站 患者群体。此外，我们的卒中联谊会继续培训中风研究领域的领导者 大多数人继续从事与中风相关的学术努力。该RCC将中风研究带到了不同的 非西班牙裔白人现在只占简单多数的人口，占50%，拉丁裔和亚裔 太平洋岛民的数量正在增长。我们最近将夏威夷瓦胡岛的皇后医疗中心添加到 访问主要的亚太岛民社区。NorCal-RCC将继续担任顶尖 以优异的数据质量，为招生网站提供新的重要研究思路和贡献 整个网络，并为下一代中风患者提供顶级联谊培训 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.
