What this research studies

This network brings together three major New York City hospitals (Mount Sinai, NYU, Einstein), partner clinics, and community groups to make stroke clinical studies easier to access. It concentrates on recruiting adults and children at high risk for stroke, especially people from underserved neighborhoods, by using community engagement and partnerships. The center coordinates high-volume thrombectomy hospitals and pediatric stroke experts so eligible patients can be enrolled quickly into appropriate studies. It also supports study design, start-up, and management so trials run smoothly across the region.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Adults and children who have had a stroke or who have conditions that raise stroke risk and who can receive care at participating New York City hospitals.

Not a fit: People without stroke or stroke-risk conditions, or those living far from participating New York City sites, are unlikely to directly benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the hub could give more NYC patients faster access to promising stroke treatments and ensure research includes underserved and pediatric populations.

How similar studies have performed: Regional coordinating centers within StrokeNet have previously helped increase trial enrollment and diversity, so this builds on established models.
