Primary Neonatology service for 90-95% of patients (remainder Pediatric Medicine)
3 Neonatology teams with different
attendings
Co-management with primary surgical teams, Cardiology, Neurology
Slide2ICN: research opportunities
“Level IV” (
quarternary
) NICU: all neonatal medical + surgical services, including cardiopulmonary bypass (ECMO + intraoperative)
Broad support services for all aspects of neonatal/infant care
Diverse conditions/pathophysiology
Prematurity + sequelae, congenital anomalies (surgical/non-surgical conditions +/- sequelae +/- prematurity), neurological conditions, infection/ sepsis and/or respiratory distress/failure

Language, literacy + numeracy
Resources for inpatient + outpatient care
Slide3Study screening + recruitment in the ICN
Goals
Optimize access to research for infants/families
Optimize study enrollment for clinical investigators
Limit burden on families from study approaches
Multiple study approaches
Study approaches at times of substantial distress
Enhance clear communication among study teams and with research administration regarding interest in participating in research/specific types of research (observational vs. interventional)
Slide4ICN process for research protocol review
Letter of support required at time of IRB submission
Investigator(s)/research staff meeting with ICN research leadership
1-2 paragraph
synopsis
of study aims and procedures
Identify processes to optimize assistance of ICN staff with facilitation/ completion of study aims/procedures and those procedures that will require investigative team effort
Discuss consent process/personnel
