The power of a research network comes from ability to pool the patient data from many centers. During our initial registry definition phase, participation in the network is very broad. The pooled data will be stored at our Data Coordinating Center at the University of Utah in the Department of Health Science Research and Innovation.
Charter Members
Charter Members are the sites and investigators piloting the CPRN cerebral palsy registry and defining the initial Standard Operating Procedures for the network. All charter members are part of the CPRN Investigator Committee. The names in bold are also part of the CPRN Executive Committee. Green markers indicate sites where patients are actively being included in the registry. Sites with yellow markers are next to come on line enrolling patients. Sites with red markers are preparing to capture patient data in the registry. Sites with blue markers are candidate sites that have initiated the work to become CPRN centers and implement the CPRN Clinical Registry.
