Research
Research is core to the overall mission of PNCRG. PNCRG provides the opportunity to collaborate with other sites and experts in pediatric neurocritical care. PNCRG supports research in a number of different ways, including the Scientific Review Committee, the IDEA Lab, and our bi-annual meetings.
The PNCRG Scientific Review Committee (SRC) is tasked with promoting and facilitating high quality research for our membership. The committee provides a process for review and feedback at all stages of work including initial proposals and grant submissions. The SRC is also tasked with review of the PNCRG Trainee Travel Award proposals.
The IDEA Lab is the hub of all new research proposals to PNCRG. The IDEA Lab supports fledgling ideas, provides feedback via experts, and can the place to brainstorm multicenter research. The IDEA Lab is open to all PNCRG members.
Past
The GCS-Covid-Peds Study
A multicenter, multinational cohort observational study to document prevalence and severity of neurological symptoms and outcomes among patients younger than 18 years old admitted to the hospital with confirmed or presumed COVID19.
Practice Recommendations for Transcranial Doppler Ultrosonography
To improve consistency, optimize safety and efficacy, and provide for meaningful and reproducible results in clinical care and research, the PNCRG TCD subgroup has prepared A multidisciplinary expert consensus statement on the use of TCD in critically ill children.
