Next Wednesday, September 14th, Dr. Laurie Glader will lead a MyCP webinar updating participants on the progress of our patient-centered research agenda established in 2017 through our Research CP program. Research CP was run by the Network with the goal of setting a patient-centered research agenda for CP. It was funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. The program included a webinar series, a collaborative agenda setting and prioritization process, and concluded with an in-person workshop in Chicago in June 2017. The results of this process, published in 2018 in Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, can be found on our website. Since that time, the CP Research Network has used the findings from Research CP to guide our research investments and study development.

This webinar will allow the CP community to see the progress that the Network and the creation of the cerebral palsy registry have had on advancing the pace of CP research and answering the questions about CP that were raised through the Research CP program.

After the presentation, Dr. Glader, a developmental pediatrician who directs the CP program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio and is a member of the CP Research Network Steering Committee, will be available to answer questions from the community about current and future CP research network projects.

The webinar is free and will be recorded for people who cannot attend. Please join us for the presentation and discussion at 8 pm Eastern Time via Zoom. The presentation is open to the public and will have content that is meaningful to community members of all ages, clinician researchers and companies serving the CP community. You may register to receive an invitation to the webinar or a notification of when we post the recording.
