Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 17 276
The NIH StrokeNet Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers (U24) opportunity (PAR-17-276) is a National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) cooperative agreement designed to build and sustain the NIH StrokeNet clinical trials network by funding Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers. These regional centers serve as key operational hubs within StrokeNet, helping the network run efficiently and consistently across many participating hospitals and research sites. The broader purpose is to strengthen the national infrastructure needed to develop and execute high-quality, multi-site clinical research that advances stroke prevention, acute treatment, and recovery, with an explicit emphasis on maintaining a balanced trial portfolio across those three domains.
A central theme of the FOA is efficiency and standardization in how stroke trials are launched and delivered across multiple sites. Rather than each study reinventing processes site-by-site, StrokeNet is structured so that trials can be initiated more quickly, conducted with consistent quality controls, and supported by an established system for coordination. The network is intended to support both exploratory early-stage studies (Phase 1/2) and larger confirmatory studies (Phase 3). In addition to therapeutic and prevention trials, the program also supports biomarker-validation studies when they are immediately preparatory to clinical trials, meaning the biomarker work is positioned as a near-term enabler of upcoming interventional or definitive clinical studies rather than as open-ended discovery research.
Within the overall StrokeNet architecture, the FOA makes clear that certain national-level responsibilities are handled by separate, centralized entities: a National Clinical Coordinating Center (NCC) and a National Data Management Center (NDMC). In practical terms, this indicates that Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers are expected to function in alignment with, and in coordination with, these national centers for clinical operations and data systems. The regional centers are therefore part of a larger division of labor where national centers provide core coordinating and data infrastructure, while regional centers organize, support, and manage trial conduct across their regional footprint of enrolling sites.
The award mechanism is a U24 cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial NIH program involvement compared with a standard grant. Under this structure, the NIH and awardees typically collaborate closely on network activities, performance expectations, and scientific/operational priorities. The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 93.853, reflecting its alignment with NIH neuroscience and stroke-related research funding.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants span state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (outside of higher education); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other entities as further clarified in the FOA. While the list is expansive, the programmatic intent is specifically aimed at currently funded NIH StrokeNet centers and qualified potential new stroke centers capable of serving as Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers within a national clinical trials network.
The FOA was created on May 10, 2017, with an original closing date of September 25, 2017. The anticipated number of awards was 25, and the listed award ceiling was $200,000. The sponsoring agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), through NINDS.
In short, this opportunity supports regional leadership units within NIH StrokeNet to coordinate and enable multi-site stroke clinical trials and trial-ready biomarker validation, emphasizing faster start-up, consistent execution, and high-quality evidence generation across prevention, treatment, and recovery research, while integrating with national clinical and data coordinating centers that handle key network-wide functions.Apply for PAR 17 276
