StrokeBelt / StrokeNet
The StrokeBelt StrokeNet (SBSN) will benefit from the established infrastructure, basic science and clinical stroke expertise, and stroke clinical trial experience at University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and our established partner institutions in the Southeastern US, including Children’s of Alabama, the UAB/Lakeshore Research Collaborative, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and the University of South Alabama. The SBSN will offer combined access to nearly 3,500 acute stroke patients annually, many of them minorities, in an underserved part of the US. A major focus of SBSN will be inclusion of underrepresented and minority populations in clinical stroke research.
