John Hopkins Trial Innovation Center: DIDACT Symposium

Oct 16 11:00 AM • Zoom CTSA Connections - Maternal Health The purpose of these zoom collaboration calls is to promote connections between these eight CTSA Institutions, which form the Consortium of Rural States (CORES), in preparation for the release of the annual CORES InterInstitutional Funding Opportunity. Join us for a series of three zoom meetings to listen, share your research focus and ideas, and make connections with potential collaborators at CORES institutions. CTSA Inter‐Institutional Pilot Project Introduction The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) programs of the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC), Frontiers Clinical & Translational Science Institute, University of Kentucky (UK), University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), University of Iowa (UI), Dartmouth College, Penn State University, and the University of Utah Health are seeking to make connections for all faculty members—senior as well as junior investigators —for pilot projects that will exemplify the CTSA mission of developing clinical and translational research, to promote and support the “bench to bedside to community and practice and back” goal of the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS). These meetings will focus on the four areas of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) strategic plan and its commitment to increasing representation in research which addresses issues of disparities either because of rurality or underrepresented and disadvantaged groups: • Climate Change and Environmental Health • Health Equity for Underrepresented Populations • For example, pediatric populations, older adults, people with disabilities and/or rare disorders, underrepresented racial/ethnic and/or sexual and gender minorities, rural populations, or populations with low socio-economic status.

Rural residents have higher rates of chronic health conditions such diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and environmental hazards, while also being less likely to have health insurance. And then there is maternal health; rural birthing people face low and declining access to complete obstetric care. While rural life can be romanticized as an earthy, less complicated lifestyle, it is anything but for the vast rural majority.  For these reasons and many others, this IQ Forum will hear from experts working to educate and improvehealthcare for our U.S. rural populations.   Dec 06 08:00 AM • Kansas State University Olathe campus Fall 2024 Mock Study Section Visit the Mock Study Section on the Education & Training page for more information.  Dec 12 12:00 PM • Virtual Research & Discovery Grand Rounds- NIH Simplified Peer Review Framework In this session, members of the Frontiers Clinical & Translational Science Institute Lisa Sanderson Cox, Ph.D., Nihar Nayak, DVM, Ph.D., and Robin Liston, MPH, will provide an overview of the NIH's new Simplified Peer Review Framework which will be applied to all NIH grant applications beginning in 2025 and beyond.
