For Researchers

The goal of the AHCRN is to be an open network engaged in concurrent multi-center clinical trials. Currently, the AHCRN is composed of 17 clinical sites, a data coordinating center, a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biobank, and an image depository. At this early juncture, the ACHRN is closed to additional sites.
