The network will be established across nine states and seeks to include more nursing home residents in clinical research.
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) unit National Institute on Aging has granted a five-year award totalling nearly $15.5m to a team from Indiana University School of Medicine and Regenstrief Institute for establishing a national network to include nursing home residents in clinical studies.
Called Nursing Home EXplanatory Clinical Trials: Supporting Transformation by Enhancing Partnerships (NEXT STEPs), the initiative seeks to include more nursing home residents in clinical research, a group claimed to be underrepresented in such studies.
Indiana University School of Medicine and Regenstrief Institute research scientist Dr Kathleen Unroe is the principal investigator of NEXT STEPs.
