Clinical Trials Friday, July 26th, 2013STROKEAHA: July 2, 2013
As the nation’s primary supporter of basic and clinical stroke research, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) strives to pursue the most pressing and promising scientific opportunities. During the past decade, NINDS has led a stroke planning effort performed by the Stroke Progress Review Group (PRG), an external group of prominent stroke scientists, clinicians, and consumer advocates.1 The third report of the Stroke PRG, summarized here, was posted in January 2012.2 It is the product of ≈200 stroke experts working in 16 topic-related workgroups and provides a comprehensive view of stroke research advances, challenges, and scientific opportunities. The Stroke PRG reports serve to inform the research community and funding agencies, including the National Institutes of Health that invests more than $300 million annually in stroke research.
