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

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

The development of health and biological response to treatment varies by age, yet many studies still fail to incorporate the dimension of time into their research. In January 2019 the National Institutes of Health adopted the Inclusion across the Lifespan Policy mandating that “individuals of all ages, including children and older adults, must be included in all human subjects research (45 CFR 46)

Join Stanford Medicine Office of Community Engagement for the 6th Virtual Town Hall on the COVID-19 outbreak, focusing on Vaccine Clinical Trials. Topics will include: How do vaccine clinical trials work? What do we know about the current vaccine trials underway in the United States? How do we know if it’s safe to participate in a trial? Who can/should participate in vaccine trials? Perspectives

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

Talk 1 Title: Evaluating biomarkers using right accuracy measures: a statistician’s perspective Presenter: Lili Tian, Ph.D. Professor, Associate chair, and Director of graduate studies Department of Biostatistics SUNY at Buffalo Talk 2 Title: Inferring mutation order in cancer using a phylogenetic approach Presenter: Laura Kubatko, PhD Professor and Co-Director, Mathematical Biosciences Institute

What is emotionally challenging research? How does recognizing your emotions during research lead to more ethical and methodologically sound practices? If you are interested in learning more, please join us for this brief 30-minute webinar. During this session, the presenters will provide an overview of the newly released CONVERGE Conducting Emotionally Challenging Research Training Module. The

Community members & community health experts, academic faculty & researchers across the CTSA are invited to attend this special webinar via Zoom: "Bridging Digital Research and Community/Patient Engagement Strategies to Advance a Healthy Georgia" Overarching Purpose: To leverage academic-community partnered strategies that will contribute to the nationally recognized impetus to link geographically

There is a growing interest in transparency, openness, and reproducibility as mechanisms to advance the credibility and utility of the scientific enterprise. This webinar will introduce open science to a clinical and translational research audience. It will begin by introducing the opportunities and challenges motivating the wider open science movement, such as accelerating scientific discovery

In this 60-minute webinar, Dr. Tenaerts presents the work of the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI) and discusses two main topics regarding digital clinical trials: (1) moving ongoing trials to remote and (2) planning for decentralized trials. At the conclusion of this webinar you will be able to • Recognize how the trials community has pivoted to virtual and remote visits for

This webinar will provide an updated overview of Trials Today – an online tool that helps potential participants find studies that are of interest to them and their health condition. Trials Today is a quick and easy way to search the thousands of studies in ClinicalTrials.gov that are recruiting participants.

UNC Health Investigational Drug Services (IDS) has released detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to facilitate the standardization of practice and streamlining processes. The SOPs are intended to clarify practices and procedures of IDS so that they are communicating as clearly as possible with clinical trials partners at UNC. In keeping with this goal of clear communication, UNC IDS is

The required use of single IRB review for most federally funded research has had a significant impact on human research protection programs. More institutions cede IRB review than serve as Reviewing IRBs. Panelists for this SMART Talk will explore the effects on institutions of relying on external IRBs, what processes institutions should have in place to oversee their research portfolios even when

During this session, participants will learn about the field of translational science, how NCATS is developing this new field of investigation and opportunities to conduct translational science research in the NCATS intramural (i.e., on-site in Maryland) laboratories. NCATS defines translational science as “an emerging field of investigation focused on identifying and understanding broadly

Panelists will discuss differences that arise between Reviewing IRBs and Relying Institutions surrounding pediatric research, such as assent process, age of assent, pregnancy testing, risk assessment, and state laws.
