Generally speaking, are applications weighted toward experienced investigators, innovative ideas, multidisciplinary approach, etc.?
NHLBI has found Networks to be an efficient means of conducting multiple multi-center studies in a relatively short period of time on defined patient populations. Past experience has shown that, in order for a Network to be effective, Clinical Centers must be able to work cooperatively within the Network, to recruit and retain patients into protocols, to produce quality data in a timely fashion, to have an established research team to conduct studies and to provide support for Network activities. Therefore, the quality of the research team and the institution as well as proof of ability to participate in multi-center clinical research will be important criteria when considering a site for Network participation, as are innovative ideas and a multidisciplinary approach.
