Research networks operate through a structured framework that often involves multiple steps:
Proposal Submission: Researchers submit study proposals to the network. Peer Review: Proposals undergo a rigorous peer-review process to assess feasibility and scientific merit. Funding and Resources: Successful proposals receive funding and resources needed for the research. Data Collection: Participating centers collect data using standardized protocols. Data Analysis: The collected data is analyzed to derive meaningful insights. Publication and Dissemination: Findings are published in scientific journals and shared with the broader medical community.
