Emergency care research (ECR) does not fit neatly into the traditional National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding model, because emergency research involves undifferentiated disease presentations involving multiple disciplines and time-sensitive interventions. A task force of emergency care researchers and other stakeholders was convened to discuss the present and future state of clinical research networks. Integration of ECR with the Clinical Translational and Science Award (CTSA) program through a multidisciplinary emergency care research network (ECRN) would obviate the duplication of research efforts by disease-specific or institute-specific multicenter networks and reduce startup and maintenance costs. Strategies to enhance integration must include the training of emergency physician investigators in biostatistical and epidemiologic methods, as well as educating collaborative investigators in emergency care-related methodologies. Thus, an ECRN would be of great benefit to CTSA awardees and applicants and should be considered a priority.
急救医疗研究（ECR）并不完全符合传统的美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助模式，因为急救研究涉及涉及多个学科和时间敏感干预的未分化疾病表现。一个由急救医疗研究人员和其他利益相关者组成的工作组被召集来讨论临床研究网络的现状和未来。通过多学科急救医疗研究网络（ECRN）将 ECR 与临床转化和科学奖（CTSA）计划整合，将避免特定疾病或特定机构的多中心网络重复进行研究工作，并降低启动和维护成本。增强整合的策略必须包括培训急诊医师研究人员生物统计学和流行病学方法，以及教育与急救相关方法学的合作研究人员。因此，ECRN 将极大地有益于 CTSA 获奖者和申请者，应该被视为优先事项。
