The membership criteria for STROKOG have been revised in 2023. Studies with the following features are invited to participate:
- Studies of stroke, TIA, or high vascular risk patients with cognitive decline or impairment as primary or secondary outcomes (i.e., cognitive assessments were conducted, even if brief); or
- Intervention studies with the objective of reducing the impact of CVD, with cognition as primary or secondary outcome.
Membership will be officially ratified by study leaders signing a memorandum of understanding that entails willingness to:
- Willing to share data (on a per-project basis) at either the level of individuals or in summary form, and/or provide the results of in-house analyses performed using STROKOG protocols (although members are not obliged to share data until they are ready),
- Willing to share images with collaborators, within legislative and ethical constraints of the study,
- Willing to contribute intellectually to meet the objectives of STROKOG,
- Committed to the ethical principles of the consortium, and
- Willing to contribute to the training and mentorship of junior researcher within their own groups or in STROKOG generally.
- The willingness to share biospecimens collected by the studies for research purposes is an option that may be considered.
