OSU/NCH Stakeholder-Engaged Research Expertise Survey

The CCTS would like to invite researchers at OSU & NCH to complete a brief survey (< 5 min) related to their experience with engaging community stakeholders in their research projects.

The purpose of this survey is to create a database of researchers at OSU and NCH with experience engaging stakeholders in clinical and translational research projects. This database will serve as a directory that can be accessed to identify and invite/connect with researchers to:

  • mentor research teams new to the process of engagement;
  • present best practices and success stories at seminars/programs related to engaging stakeholders in research;
  • present as “guest speakers” for the Community Scientist Academy (CSA); and
  • present research findings to community stakeholders via CCTS Science Cafés.

* This database is for the CCTS CE Program’s internal use only

If you are an OSU/NCH researcher, please take this survey by December 4, 2020.

You may open the survey in your web browser by clicking the link below:

Educational Research Series: Making Sense of “Conceptual Frameworks”

 

FAME Event: Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 12:30 p.m.

Deborah Pond

Wednesday, December 9, 2020, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Location: Online Only

CME: This event is certified for 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit

 

 

Tying your research to a clear conceptual framework is critical for successful funding and publication.  But what exactly is a conceptual framework, and how do you identify appropriate frameworks that fit your research? During this active workshop, participants will be introduced to conceptual frameworks and will learn strategies for identifying and integrating appropriate frameworks into their educational research. Register.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grant Submissions- Process Flow

Be advised that both the COM and CCC Grants Management Office is more strictly enforcing grant submission timelines.

For COM investigators, your intention to submit a new proposal must be sent through the REDCap portal (link: https://redcap.osumc.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=TYPT3ALFMN), but if fewer than 6 weeks remain before the deadline they may not be able to accommodate your application and will deny the submission. 

CCC applications should continue to be routed to the CCC Grants Office, by emailing an inquiry to Li.Zheng@osumc.edu

Are you contemplating working with a unpaid volunteer student?

SHARP can help you work out the logistics.  We can arrange for virtual access for OSU affiliates at no cost, and virtual access for non-OSU affiliates for a fee (to set up a virtual machine for them to remote to).

For more information, contact Judy M. Opalek, PhD (judy.opalek@osumc.edu)

SHARP Staff – Return to Campus

We are in the midst of our Return to Campus plan and you may be seeing us in the office more often. We need to adhere to the social distancing requirements in our shared space, and we will be working on modified schedules until a full return is feasible. All SHARP staff continue to be reachable by phone, email, and text, whether in the office or working remotely. We appreciate your patience during this time.

Please note that the SHARP staff are working 100% remotely at this time and are still fully available for virtual meetings and discussion.  We have nearly every normal tool at our disposal during this time and are only limited by face-to-face interactions and campus-based physical resources. If you have any questions or concerns—reach out!

SHARP Grand Rounds presented by Clark Spencer Larsen, PhD

“Çatalhöyük: The Bioarchaeology of Community Health in an Early Farming Community in Transition”

From Dr. Larsen:

“I am a biological anthropologist primarily interested in the history of the human condition, viewed from the perspective of health, quality of life, adaptation, and lifestyle during the last 10,000 years of human evolution. Central to this work is a collaborative investigation on native societies on St. Catherines Island, Georgia, tracking adaptive trends. I co-direct the bioarchaeology research at Çatalhöyük (Turkey), a large Neolithic settlement. This enormous site is providing the opportunity to test hypotheses about the impact of urbanization, population agglomeration, and increased commitment to agriculture on health and quality of life. The project is a part of an international archaeological research program directed by Ian Hodder (Stanford University).

I am also involved in the Global History of Health Project. Results of the study of 18,000 skeletons from across Europe reveals significant changes in health and lifestyle, with results presented in The Backbone of Europe: Health, Diet, Work and Violence over Two Millennia (Richard H. Steckel, Clark Spencer Larsen, Charlotte A. Roberts, and Joerg Baten, editors, Cambridge University Press, 2019). I am the author of Our Origins: Discovering Biological Anthropology, now in its fifth edition (W.W. Norton).

This presentation will give you an entirely new perspective on health.”

Please join us on November 4th from 4:00-5:00pm for Dr. Larsen’s presentation.

Health Services Research on Minority Health and Health Disparities (R01 – Clinical Trial Optional)

Research Objectives

The overarching purpose of this FOA is to promote research to generate new knowledge to improve health care access, delivery, utilization and quality, and health outcomes of racial and ethnic minority populations and other groups affected by health disparities. Research encouraged under this FOA includes the examination of population-specific clinical presentation and/or manifestation of diseases and their complications within the context of health care settings; services within health care systems and non-clinical settings linked to health care systems (e.g. personal residences, school-based health centers, the workplace, and criminal justice settings); etiologies and reduction of health care disparities; structure and organization of health care systems and coordination of health care; impact of healthcare and non-healthcare policies on health care and health disparities; and system-wide interventions or multi-level interventions. Projects may address health services pertaining to health promotion, screening for disease or risk factors, prevention at any level, diagnosis and the treatment of particular health conditions (including chronic diseases, mental and substance abuse disorders, and infectious diseases such the 2019 Novel Coronavirus), specific segments of populations affected by health disparities (e.g. pregnant women, children, persons with disabilities, older adults), or more general indicators (e.g., access to primary care services or specialty care) that may not be condition-specific. Projects may include observational/descriptive, or interventional studies (including randomized clinical trials, pragmatic trials and others) and may involve primary data collection and/or secondary analysis of existing datasets. Projects should involve the use of relevant health system-level data in some way. Projects should include a focus on one or more NIH-designated US populations affected by health disparities, which include Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, underserved rural populations, and sexual and gender minorities. Projects that include populations that identify across more than one health disparity group are encouraged.

Dear COM Faculty,

The Office of Medical Student Research (MDSR) is pleased to invite you to submit an informational video in lieu of attending the annual Medical Student Research Opportunities Fair. We realize this has always been a great opportunity to meet and recruit medical students in person to participate in your research projects. However, we feel the new format will be just as exciting and provide additional and more widely accessible information for medical students interested in research.

This year, we’re asking that faculty members submit a short video by Oct. 1, to be hosted on the MDSR Research Opportunities website. Please include this information (at a minimum) in your 5–10 minute video:

• Your name, department, lab location, research area(s)
• Details about your general research area/topic
• A brief description of your lab/research team and lab meeting schedule
• Projects appropriate for medical students to join
• Skills/experience you are looking for in a medical student
• The best way for a medical student to contact you
“How-to” documents for creating videos are located on the MDSR Mentor Resources page. Please contact our office for any support you may need.

When ready, please submit your video here.

Also as a reminder, medical students are eligible to apply for research funding from a variety of internal and external sources. The application for this year’s Ohio State College of Medicine Medical Student Research Scholarship will open Oct. 6. Phase I documents are due Dec. 14, and Phase II documents will be due Jan. 8. We strongly encourage students to find a mentor early so they can work on this application as early as possible.

Contact Bianca McArrell, program manager of the Medical Student Research Program, with questions. Visit our website for more information about research education initiatives at the College of Medicine and the research calendar of events for medical students.

Thank you for your continued support of the MDSR program. Please feel free to forward this email to any faculty who may also be interested in submitting an opportunity!

Disseminating and Implementing Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Evidence into Practice through Interoperable Clinical Decision Support

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites R18 grant applications that disseminate and implement patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) evidence into clinical practice through clinical decision support (CDS). AHRQ seeks projects that scale interoperable CDS across different health care systems and technologies (e.g., different electronic health records) and that disseminate lessons learned about how to achieve CDS scalability and interoperability. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-20-074.html

 

NLM Information Resource Grants to Reduce Health Disparities (G08 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits resource grant applications for projects that will bring useful, usable health information to health disparity populations and their health care providers. Access to useful, usable, understandable health information is an important factor when making health decisions. Proposed projects should exploit the capabilities of computer and information technology and health sciences libraries to bring health-related information to consumers and their health care providers. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-20-283.html

 

Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders Career Development Award in Aging (K76 Clinical Trial Required)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites early-stage physician and other health professional investigators with a commitment to aging and/or aging-related diseases to apply for this award to advance their research and leadership skills in their specialty and in the broader field of aging and geriatrics research.

NIA is pursuing this initiative to recruit early-stage investigators who have begun to establish research programs and who, through this award, will be ready to assume leadership roles in their field of expertise and will be poised to change theory, practice, and health outcomes related to the health of older individuals. Unlike other mentored K awards, candidates for this award must have received competitively awarded research support as a Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) at the faculty level or have otherwise leveraged faculty-level research support to develop an independent line of research. They must show evidence of leadership in the clinical or research domain. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-21-021.html
