The goals of the research for The Institute for Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease are to sustain and grow our highly successful research in acute stroke treatment; develop new areas of research in stroke recovery, prevention, health services, population health and vascular cognitive impairment; and promote collaborative multi-disciplinary teams.

Do you need help developing your next big idea?

As part of our mission we are available to investigators throughout the UT Community and the Texas Medical Center. The Institute for Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease houses a think tank for clinical trial design. Our team is made up of experts in trial design and stroke research including: Charles Green, Sean Savitz, MD, Andrew Barreto, MD and other content experts as needed are available to you. This team can help you to identify the appropriate RFPs/RFAs, help to assemble the right mentor team and help with concept synopsis proposals. In order to be access the assistance of the Think Tank, the following conditions must be met:
