Engaging and recruiting potential participants at various levels of engagement is a well-known challenge in clinical research. Research for Me (RFM) is UNC’s centralized entry point for public engagement with research opportunities at UNC. Listing all active human subjects research at UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC Health, RFM aims to connect people with research participation opportunities at a level

Digital technology can enable trial participation via an internet portal or smartphone app, eConsent, data collection directly via wearables and smartphones, ecologic momentary assessment, and other trial innovations. The Eureka Research Platform, a digital platform funded by NIH and housed at UCSF, supports digital trials and prospective data collection for funded researchers across the US

MyCap is a mobile application integrated with REDCap that can be easily configured without programming to collect ongoing participant information and patient-reported outcomes directly from study participants. Study teams can use MyCap to support participant engagement and retention on studies ranging from complex remote/no touch trials, studies using daily medication diaries, or studies seeking

In this webinar, the Vanderbilt Recruitment Innovation Center (RIC) Recruitment Materials Team will share their new Recruitment and Retention Materials Content + Design Toolkit. This toolkit is a resource for research teams to utilize to create participant recruitment and retention materials, as well as materials for clinician awareness/study referrals. It includes: 1) guidelines, recommendations

Stanford Medicine’s Research Participation services has developed the Participant Engagement Platform (PEP) as a way of offering and managing “honest broker” outreach, such as Direct Email and Epic MyChart. The Research Participation team (honest broker) sends the study invitation to potential participants (identified via EHR cohort search) on behalf of the study team. Only when a potential

This presentation will help answer the question “Should you go online” and other things to consider when deciding if social media will be an option to add to your recruitment plan.

By the end of this presentation, viewers will be able to: 1. Define team science and differentiate team science research from more traditional forms 2. Identify how team science is promoted by the NIH 3. Explain the benefits and shortcomings of teams science research 4. Describe the risks associated with team science models and how to overcome them 5. Describe real-world examples of how team

Clinical research must be modernized. There are increasing demands to have more rapid innovation in order to develop novel treatments more quickly and cost effectively. The challenges that COVID add to the landscape of clinical trials also brings potential for new pathways of clinical trial innovation. Join this discussion to hear about the potential factors driving the decision to use an

We will provide an overview of the project aims and progress so far in building this collaborative set of tools to collect, analyze, share and act on participant feedback. We will describe how the project integrates with into local participant-centered initiatives at collaborating sites.

This webinar will provide an overview of the STELLAR prototype– an interactive web-based system to assess the learning needs of the clinical and translational research workforce, a Self-career Training, Education, Life-long Learning Advancement Resource.

Researchers planning COVID-19 trials with the Trial Innovation Network (TIN) can leverage the N3C to inform their research hypotheses. N3C focuses on aligning its infrastructure so that it can generate efficient and minimally biased results. Part of that infrastructure includes the curation of value sets and phenotype variables relevant to COVID-19, such as ventilator support, ICU use, and

Learn more about obtaining patient-center feedback from underrepresented groups to enhance your research project even in the times of COVID. The CES Team will highlight it’s transition to the use of Zoom technology, how to address issues of tech-equity and literacy, and share lessons learned for effectively facilitating group dialogue in a virtual forum.

This webinar presents scholarly research conducted by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, Tufts University School of Medicine examining trends in protocol design practice and their impact on clinical trial performance and quality. In particular, the webinar will explore innovative approaches being used to leverage patient and study volunteer input and experience to modify protocol

Implementing your research project within an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system is an exciting but complex endeavor that requires specialized tools and approaches. This talk will unpack what dedicated teams of informaticians have pioneered over the past decade. It will help the researcher understand a path forward for their research protocols. The talk addresses key differences between

The NIA staff will discuss some of the limitations with inclusion of diverse populations observed in clinical research and trials, the role federal science policy is playing in remedying the limitations and promoting more broad and consistent inclusion of communities of color in developing new strategies implemented to enhance inclusion among older persons of color. The NIA team will provide an
