The NICHD Neonatal Research Network, supported by the NICHD Pregnancy and Perinatology Branch, was established in 1986 to improve the care and outcome of neonates, especially very-low-birth-weight infants. Operating under competitive cooperative agreements, the Neonatal Research Network includes investigators from 16 university-based Clinical Centers, a Network Data Coordinating Center, and NICHD staff.
The Network has addressed the major problem areas in neonatology with randomized controlled trials, studies, and outcomes research in the prevention and treatment of sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage, chronic lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, anemia, acute perinatal asphyxia, and nutrition.
