Network investigators seek to understand the causes of neurological deficits, and to transfer this knowledge to health care professionals, policy makers, and communities of interest. NeuroDevNet works with its partners in academia, the community, not-for-profit sector, industry, and government, and across traditional disciplinary boundaries and sectors, to ensure generated knowledge is translated into tangible diagnostic, preventative, therapeutic, social, economic, and health benefits for all.

1.3.1.1.2. NeuroDevNet supports transformative research, provides training to build a new generation of Canadian researchers, strengthens communities with the right tools and information, and translates research findings into early diagnostic, preventative, and therapeutic strategies for children with neurological disorders to live healthier lives. Currently, the network's research focuses on autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. These demonstration projects are supported by NeuroDevNet’s central infrastructure and cores, including Neuroethics, Neuroinformatics, and Knowledge Translation.

1.3.1.2. Members:

1.4.1. Description:

1.4.1.1. Purpose:

1.4.1.1.1. Background

1.4.1.1.2. Introducing NeuroNEXT –A clinical research network designed to accelerate therapy development

1.4.1.1.3. To address the opportunities and need for testing new therapies, NINDS has established the Network for Excellence in Neuroscience Clinical Trials, or NeuroNEXT. The network was created with three main goals in mind. First, we want to support scientifically valid, biomarker-informed Phase 2 (exploratory) clinical trials so that we can efficiently test new treatments before embarking on large and costly Phase 3 (efficacy) trials. Second, we want to expand our ability to test the most promising new therapies, whether from academic or industry investigators. Third, as trial opportunities arise for a wide range of disorders affecting both children and adults, we want to provide the infrastructure for and expertise of a cadre of disease-specific investigators.

1.4.1.2. Members:

1.4.1.2.1. Through NeuroNEXT, the NINDS is supporting 25 clinical sites across the United States, together with two other components: a clinical coordinating center to provide cost-effective management in operating multiple trials, and a data coordinating center that will provide state-of-the-art efficient statistical designs and take advantage of the economy of scales in data management and quality control, as well as set the stage for the sharing and mining of the valuable clinical datasets generated from the many research projects funded by the NINDS. One particularly innovative aspect of NeuroNEXT is the use of a common IRB that should significantly decrease the time between trial design and initiation while ensuring patient safety.

1.4.1.2.2. NeuroNEXT will provide a robust, standardized, and accessible infrastructure to facilitate rapid development and implementation of protocols in neurological disorders affecting adult and/or pediatric populations. The network includes multiple Clinical Sites, one Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) and one Data Coordinating Center (DCC)
