Organizational structure of the NHLBI Bench to Bassinet Program. Interactions between the Cardiovascular Development Consortium, the Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium, and the Pediatric Heart Network are designed to facilitate bidirectional transmission of research along translational pathways from discovery to the clinic and back. ACC: Administrative Coordinating Center; CHOP: Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia; DSMB: Data and Safety Monitoring Board; NERI – New England Research Institutes; PRC – Protocol Review Committee. Based on figure from NHLBI.

Figure 2
Organizational structure of the NHLBI Biological discovery in the Progenitor Cell Biology Consortium (PCBC) and NHLBI Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN). The consortium is leveraged through Pilot studies and Ancillary/Collaborative studies, funded through set-aside funds administered by the Administrative Coordinating Center (ACC). These funds, using expedited peer review, can provide rapid early translation through pre-clinical models to help in the design of clinical studies in the Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN).
