The goal of the Precision Medicine function of the Washington University Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences is to streamline precision medicine research processes across the university. Three separate initiatives supported this effort: (1) outreach to community and faculty members through surveys and focus groups to assess interest and concerns regarding participation in precision

Understanding the complexities of requesting research data within a large academic health system can be a challenge for investigators. The University of Washington (UW) is working to provide the research community with avenues for requesting data that are both simple to understand and execute. From self-service tools both in and outside of the Electronic Health Record (EHR), to a well-defined

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many research participants cannot be consented in person, thereby making it critical to have a consent document that provides a clear presentation of key information to help someone make a decision about study participation. We utilized a community-engaged approach to technology development to inform features within the REDCap software platform to

The Optimizing I.C.E. module will build upon an existing foundation of efforts to develop a new, dynamic, data-driven, multi-stakeholder framework for studying, implementing, and sustaining translational research. We will leverage recent developments in methods and complementary investments to develop data for frontier research on two important translational pathways: workforce development and

The mission of Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is to stimulate innovative broadly-engaged team science across the translational research spectrum to improve clinical care and health. We achieve this by providing education, consultation, services, and direct support. Our third consecutive CTSA grant highlights two optional components that support transformational research

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic forced the country to enact extreme measures to limit virus transmission. Academic health institutions implemented measures for the protection of patients and families, staff, and trainees. These included physical distancing, enforced by limiting visitors and non-essential personnel, to support infection control measures as well as

CovEx system has been deployed online and demonstrated to several target users. The early results indicate that the success of the system to a considerable extent depends on the quality of key phrase extraction. Moreover, the nature of exploratory search calls for special extraction approaches. While we used a relatively powerful approach, it was trained to model gold standard annotation of

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) and its Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI) has had great success addressing the issue of minority participation in clinical trials. Two elements that are key to the successes at Yale are electronic health record strategies and community engagement, through the Cultural Ambassador program (partnership between Yale, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
