In 2001, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded state-level projects to collect data and use that data to improve the quality of stroke care. The Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry began in 2001 with eight pilot projects, led by medical and academic institutions across the country. In the first "wave," stroke registry model projects were located in Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Ohio. The second "wave" projects were located in California, Illinois, North Carolina and Oregon. In June 2004, CDC funded four state health departments (Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, and North Carolina) to establish statewide acute stroke registries (currently funded through June 30, 2007).

In June 2007, CDC announced the next phase of funding for the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry. Funded states are: Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Ohio.
