DeNDRoN provides a world-class
health service infrastructure to support clinical neurodegeneration research
and remove barriers to its conduct.In England,
DeNDRoN is establishing 7 Local Research Networks (LRNs) to provide the
essential infrastructure for the Network. The LRNs will coordinate the
recruitment of patients, participants and clinical teams for both the
large-scale multi-centre research and local/pilot studies.
An average of £400k will be
provided to each network annually to employ dedicated research nurses and
similar staff who will support clinical teams in hospitals to facilitate
involvement in clinical studies. Networks will be required to work
collaboratively, under the guidance of the DeNDRoN Coordinating Centre, to
utilise this funding to its full effect, and will be encouraged to build on any
existing links with clinical and research support services in their local
areas.
This investment in new research
infrastructure builds on existing and developing research networks and collaborations
throughout the UK.
The DeNDRoN Coordinating Centre will coordinate the development of DeNDRoN LRNs
with both other topic-specific LRNs in England
and relevant research networks in Scotland,
Wales and Northern
Ireland.
