Previously, treating patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in the U.S. meant relying on potentially less effective approaches or off-label medications as there were no FDA-approved medications to treat EoE. To address this gap and improve patient outcomes, Evan Dellon, MD, MPH, a professor of medicine at the UNC School of Medicine, worked with colleagues on a clinical trial conducted in the
For people at high risk of contracting HIV, missing doses of their daily HIV prevention pills can have big consequences. In some cases, missing a pill can lead to lack of protection against the virus. Rahima Benhabbour, PhD, MSc, associate professor in the UNC & NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering and former NC TraCS KL2 scholar, and her lab have been working with a research team

What is the CTSA Compendium of D&I Catalogs?
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present considerable public health challenges in the United States and around the globe. One of the most puzzling is why many people who get over an initial and often relatively mild COVID illness later develop new and potentially debilitating symptoms. These symptoms run the gamut including fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, anxiety, and gastrointestinal
The CTSA Visiting Scholar program consists of giving the virtual CTSA Grand Rounds lecture, which is open to the entire CTSA Consortium, and virtual meetings between KL2 Scholars and faculty at the host institution and their KL2 peers. There are two main goals of this program. The first is to offer the opportunity to serve as a visiting professor and help make connections with faculty that will

True innovation depends on identifying the right problem to solve. To streamline the process of identifying opportunities for innovation, FastTraCS has developed a virtual, scalable approach to rapidly identifying impactful clinical problems—creating a foundation for unmet need definition, validation and new product development. This approach eliminates the need for upfront clinical shadowing/
The Catalyze Program, established by NHLBI and run by Research Triangle Institute (RTI) International, transforms basic science discoveries into viable therapeutics, devices, and diagnostics. While the actual Catalyze Program is focused on products for heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders, the information presented in these monthly seminars is foundational knowledge about product development
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) seeks a high-energy, service-oriented leader for the position of Director of the Office of Human Research Ethics (OHRE http://research.unc.edu/offices/human-research-ethics/). The OHRE is responsible for ethical and regulatory oversight of all research at UNC that involves human subjects. The OHRE oversees the planning, direction, and execution
John Baratta, MD, MBA helped start the UNC COVID Recovery Clinic—where patients can get help for their ongoing symptoms and doctors can gather valuable data. “We don’t have a lot of specific, scientific answers because it’s just all so new,” Baratta says. “Through research, that’s what we and others have to figure out.” To start finding answers for patients with "long COVID," the clinic team, with
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a hereditary multisystem vascular disease of abnormal angiogenesis and the second most common hereditary bleeding disorder in the world. Harvard KL2 Scholar Hanny Al-Samkari, MD will describe the revolutionary potential of anti-angiogenic therapy in HHT and the evidence to date for systemic bevacizumab as a treatment for bleeding and anemia in HHT.
The opioid crisis response has largely overlooked multiple patient populations with complex opioid-related vulnerabilities, including older adults with cancer or dementia. Join Andrew Roberts, a CTSA KL2 Scholar who trained at UNC, for a presentation of findings from his work examining high-risk opioid use patterns and outcomes in older adult cancer survivors. He will also discuss future
The Data Manager is responsible for the complete data process: from design, to build, to quality control, to cleaning, and finally to archiving. In smaller research teams, this role may be absent or overlooked due to other pressing tasks, or may be parceled out as extra duties among team members. TraCS is hosting this training to help research teams develop better data managers. We will review
Adopting a Population Health Strategy to Aggressively Reduce Cardiovascular Risk: It Works in Rural Communities Too! Sam Cykert, MD will describe how implementation of the Heart Health Now study affected cardiovascular risk when applied to high-risk patients in 219 practices across North Carolina. Half of these practices were in rural areas and a quarter of high-risk patients were Black. The
Malawi has the highest cervical cancer burden in the world—at least partly attributable to the low use of screening services.

She will highlight new findings about the complex and multi-level factors
