Item Indiana CTSI Preclinical Innovation Think Tank Program(Association for Clinical and Translational Sciences, 2022-04-21) Portonovo, Padma; Garcia, Kara; Moe, SharonThe skills and knowledge required for successful commercialization of new technologies (intellectual property protection, SBIR/STTR funding, and startup creation) are very different than those for traditional academic research (scientific publication and R01-style grant funding). The Indiana CTSI Think Tank Program is designed to provide early guidance to academic and clinical investigators interested in advancing their discoveries to the market. The program is open to investigators from Indiana University (IU), Purdue University, or the University of Notre Dame; and includes a pool of advisors across these universities and industry around the state to provide investigators with a wide range of expertise and perspectives.Item Health Equity Starts with Us: Recommendations from the IN-CTSI Racial Justice and Health Equity Task Force(Association for Clinical and Translational Sciences, 2022-04-20) Sotto-Santiago, Sylk; Tucker Edmonds, Brownsyne; Wiehe, Sarah; Moe, SharonN/AItem Cross-institutional collaborations for health equity research at a CTSA(2022-04-20) Whipple, Elizabeth C.; Ramirez, Mirian; Dolan, Levi; Hunt, Joe D.Objective/Goals: We were interested in health equity research for each CTSA-affiliated institution, specifically focusing on cross department and cross-campus co-authorship. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of our CTSA-funded papers relating to diversity and inclusion to identify cross department and cross-campus collaborations. Methods/Study Population: We worked with our CTSA’s Racial Justice, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force to conduct an environmental scan of diversity and inclusion research across our CTSA partner institutions. Using the Scopus database, searches were constructed to identify and retrieve the variety of affiliations for each of the CTSA authors, a health equity/health disparities search hedge, and all of our CTSA grant numbers. We limited the dates from the beginning of our CTSA in 2008-November 2021. We used PubMed to retrieve all MeSH terms for the articles. We used Excel to analyze the data, Python and NCBI’s Entrez Programming Utilities to analyze MeSH terms, and VOSviewer to produce the visualizations. Results/Anticipated Results: The results of this search yielded 94 articles overall. We broke these up into subsets (not mutually exclusive) to represent five of the researcher groups across our CTSA. We analyzed the overall dataset for citation count, normalized citation count, CTSA average authors, gender trends, and co-term analysis. We also developed cross department co-authorship maps and cross-institutional/group co-authorship maps. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This poster will demonstrate both the current areas where cross-departmental and cross-institutional collaboration exists among our CTSA authors, as well as identify potential existing areas for collaboration to occur. These findings may determine areas our CTSA can support to improve institutional performance in addressing health equity.Item Developing Common Metrics for the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs): Lessons Learned.(Wiley, 2015-10) Rubio, Doris M.; Blank, Arthur E.; Dozier, Ann; Hites, Lisle; Gilliam, Victoria A.; Hunt, Joe; Rainwater, Julie; Trochim, William M.; Indiana CTSIThe National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap for Medical Research initiative, funded by the NIH Common Fund and offered through the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program, developed more than 60 unique models for achieving the NIH goal of accelerating discoveries toward better public health. The variety of these models enabled participating academic centers to experiment with different approaches to fit their research environment.A central challenge related to the diversity of approaches is the ability to determine the success and contribution of each model. This paper describes the effort by the Evaluation Key Function Committee to develop and test a methodology for identifying a set of common metrics to assess the efficiency of clinical research processes and for pilot testing these processes for collecting and analyzing metrics. The project involved more than one-fourth of all CTSAs and resulted in useful information regarding the challenges in developing common metrics, the complexity and costs of acquiring data for the metrics, and limitations on the utility of the metrics in assessing clinical research performance. The results of this process led to the identification of lessons learned and recommendations for development and use of common metrics to evaluate the CTSA effort.Item 2016 Advances in Renal Imaging Symposium(Indiana University School of Medicine/IUPUI, 2016-11-15) IUPUI Imaging Research SymposiumThe primary objective of the “Advances in Renal Imaging” symposium is to provide a forum for nephrology researchers and imaging scientists to come together and discuss needed kidney imaging biomarkers and explore the development of imaging technologies designed to address specific renal imaging needs. The Symposium includes three sessions of oral presentations with invited speakers addressing the following general themes: 1) Need for advances in renal imaging and the identification of potential imaging biomarker targets; 2) Advances in renal microscopy methods for basic science renal research; 3) Advances in molecular, perfusion, and structural renal imaging.Item CTSA 2 Community: www.ctsa2community.org(2011-08-31) Ackermann, Ronald; Hardwick, Emily; Comer, Karen; Hudson, Brenda; Odell, Jere D.; Arenson, Andrew; Barnett, Bill; McGuire, Patrick; Derr, Michelle; Reid, Tisha; Vandergraff, Donna; Marrero, David G.This poster describes the development an accessible, user-driven, and sustainable web resource for community and academic experts working together to identify, adopt, and implement a wide array of community engaged research infrastructures for enhancing community engagement in all forms of clinical and translational research. CTSA2Community aims to be a storage place for valuable resources referring to the set-up and running of a community engagement program. Resources are provided by experts in the field of community engagement.
