NICHD Cooperative Multicenter Neonatal Research Network

 Eunice Kennedy Shriver国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所新生儿研究网络（NRN）是一个学术中心合作组织，进行多中心临床试验，以调查新生儿医学问题，特别是与早产和低出生体重有关的问题。新生儿护理的进步是通过学术中心网络促进的，这些中心可以研究所需数量的受试者，以比单独行动的单个中心更快地回答问题。辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心是全国公认的儿科医疗保健的领导者，在患者护理、研究和医学教育方面享有卓越的声誉。辛辛那提儿童围产期研究所每年为大辛辛那提地区的27 000名新生儿提供新生儿服务，确保了一致的转诊模式和提供基于人口的护理的能力。自1991年以来，辛辛那提儿童医院获得了持续的资金，并为新生儿研究网络做出了重大贡献，因为有大量患者可用于研究，拥有最先进的临床和研究设施以及临床研究基础设施，拥有广泛临床研究专业知识的强大研究人员以及优秀的研究支持人员。在下一个资助周期中，辛辛那提儿童基金会将积极为NRN进行的所有观察性和临床试验提供大量受试者，并精心执行所有研究活动，包括高水平的随访保留。辛辛那提还将通过积极参与旨在解决口腔医学重要临床问题的创新研究方案的开发，为NRN的科学使命做出贡献。辛辛那提儿童医院也为未来做好了充分的准备，拥有丰富的经验丰富的临床和翻译研究人员，以及在他们指导下的年轻研究人员。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network (NRN) is a cooperative group of academic centers that perform multicenter clinical trials to investigate problems in neonatal medicine, particularly those related to prematurity and low birth weight. The advancement of neonatal care is facilitated through the network of academic centers that can study the required number of subjects to answer questions far more rapidly than individual centers acting alone. Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is nationally recognized as a leader in pediatric healthcare, with a reputation for excellence in patient care, research and medical education. The Cincinnati Children's Perinatal Institute provides newborn services to 27,000 newborns annually in the greater Cincinnati region, ensuring a consistent referral pattern and ability to provide population-based care. Since 1991, Cincinnati Children's has had continuous funding and has made significant contributions to the Neonatal Research Network because of the large patient population available for studies, state-of-the-art clinical and research facilities and clinical research infrastructure, strong investigators with extensive clinial research expertise, and excellent research support staff. During the next funding cycle, Cincinnati Children's will actively contribute a large number of subjects to all observational and clinical trials conducted by the NRN with meticulous execution of all research activities, including high levels of retention in follow-up. Cincinnati will also contribute to the scientific mission of the NRN through active engagement in the development of innovative research protocols designed to address important clinical questions in neonatology. Cincinnati Children's is also well positioned for the future with a wealth of seasoned clinical and translational investigators and a cadre of young investigators under their mentorship.
