UNM Pediatrics participates in several multi-state collaborative research initiatives, including the following research networks, studies, and registries.
UNM is one of 17 states in the IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (ISPCTN). ISPCTN is one of the components of the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program, a national seven year research initiatives funded by the National Institutes of Health that aims to determine what factors give children the highest probability of achieving the best health outcomes over their lifetimes.
The Pediatrics Division of Neonatology is part of the NICHD Neonatal Research Network (NRN). Established in 1986, NRN is a research collaboration between 15 sites across the United States to address the critical need for research to improve treatments and health outcomes for infants.
CKiD is a multicenter, observational, prospective cohort of children, adolescents and young adults with a history of mild to moderately impaired kidney function.
CureGN is a multi-center consortium that seeks to establish an infrastructure for the advancement of glomerular disease studies.
The NAPRTCS Registries includes information from over 20,0000 children with kidney transplants, on dialysis, or with chronic kidney disease from over 100 participating institutions, in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica. NAPRTCS has resulted in eight NIH-funded prospective clinical studies and multiple pharma-sponsored multi-center trials.
The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) is an international non-profit consortium of health care institutions that are dedicated to the development and evaluation of novel therapies for support of failing organ systems.
ESC-NOW: a Function-Based Assessment and Management Approach is a multisite study to determine if the ESC care approach will reduce the time until infants being managed for NOWS are medically ready for discharge.
This multisite trial is evaluating the efficacy of a rapid-wean intervention compared with a slow-wean intervention in reducing the number of days of opioid treatment among infants receiving an opioid (defined as morphine or methadone) as the primary treatment for neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS).
The Association of Pediatric Program Directors, Longitudinal Educational Assessment Research Network (APPD LEARN) provides an infrastructure for multi-centered, collaborative research projects and a centralized data collection system, with the aim of advancing medical education innovation and promoting the development of a diverse workforce and inclusive clinical learning environments.
The SHARPS collaborative focuses on establishing best practices for the use of antimicrobials among hospitalized children. Its mission is to utilize prescribing data to develop interventions that improve the safety of children receiving antimicrobials, improve the clinical outcomes of children, and decrease the rate at which resistance develops.
The Children’s Hospital Acquired Thrombosis (CHAT) Consortium began as a registry to collect clinically relevant data about children diagnosed with hospital acquired venous thromboembolism (VTE) in order to develop a risk assessment tool to prevent HA-VTE. CHAT is now comprised of over 40 pediatric institutions that are working together to validate a risk assessment model for VTE among critically ill children.
