Sickle cell clinical and data support center
Clinical Research and Data Informatics Core
Helps children and young adults with sickle cell disease join clinical studies and get better care by improving research support and how patient data is used.

What this research studies
This center builds a central team to run sickle cell clinical projects and quality-improvement efforts, offering project management, regulatory help, and data analysis. It makes it easier for children and young adults to take part in trials by streamlining processes and supporting clinicians and research staff. The core mentors junior investigators and applies modern data methods to track outcomes and identify care gaps. By sharing tools and expertise, the center aims to bring more studies and better day-to-day care to local patients.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Children and young adults with sickle cell disease who receive care at NEMOURS or affiliated regional sites are the primary candidates to benefit or participate in studies supported by this core.
Not a fit: People without sickle cell disease or those outside the regional care network are unlikely to benefit directly from this center's activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Could increase access to trials and improve clinical care for people with sickle cell disease through better data-driven programs and coordinated research support.
How similar studies have performed: Other institutional clinical research cores and data platforms have successfully increased trial enrollment and improved care coordination, so this approach builds on established practices.
