Clinical Studies Groups
Introdution:
Introdution:

The DeNDRoN Clinical Studies Groups (CSGs) represent a central component of a new framework for neurodegeneration research in the UK, providing the primary route through which studies will be adopted by the Network, and through which new ideas for clinical trials are developed.

The CSGs are charged with the development of a portfolio of national multi-centre and local/pilot clinical trials and other well-designed studies. The CSGs work to a broad, but common remit that includes overseeing existing studies, considering new research questions, developing proposals and securing funding from CRC partners, as well as providing expert advice. Each of the CSGs will be formally constituted, with a system of membership rotation and a transparent appointment process for new Chairs.

Each CSG will be set up and initially chaired by the DeNDRoN Associate Director for each disease area.
Clinical Studies Groups are being set up in the following topics:
