The University of Iowa has recently been selected to participate in a national research network funded by the National Institutes of Health that aims to improve care for people affected by stroke in Iowa and across the U.S. The network of 25 regional stroke centers working with nearby satellite facilities will span the country, have teams of researchers representing every medical specialty needed for stroke care, and will address the three prongs of stroke research: prevention, treatment, and recovery. The participating centers were announced last week by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
