Establishing Research Collaborations

Thursday, January 24, 2013
12:00 - 1:00 PM
Danto Auditorium (in the Cardiovascular Center)

Michael Gaies, MD, MPH is the Executive Director of the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4).  Initially developed by investigators from pediatric cardiac intensive care units (PCICU) at six CTSA-supported institutions, PC4’s mission is to increase capacity and support for pediatric clinical and translational research and to promote multidisciplinary clinical and translational research in pediatric heart disease outcomes and quality improvement.

Through the insight shared by Dr. Gaies, attendees will learn:

1. Steps necessary when establishing a multisite network
2. Challenges encountered when linking multiple existing systems
3. Benefits of conducting collaborative research through a network

Matt Davis, MD, MAPP is the Associate Director of the MICHR Children’s Health Initiative and Chair of the Perinatal Research Platform Network Taskforce that has been organized to assess the feasibility and requirements necessary to establish a central perinatal biorepository intended for use by a diverse group of researchers.

The presentation by Dr. Davis will provide:

1. Information regarding the development of a perinatal data and specimen repository in its early stages
2. The opportunity for researchers to express their interest in this collaborative effort to establish a university-wide resource initially, with the possibility of future external collaborations

The seminar is free and campus-wide participation is welcomed.  Lunch will be provided to registrants so register today!

The University of Michigan Medical School is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The University of Michigan Medical School designates this live activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Roma Gianchandani, M.D., Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology & Diabetes and Director of the U-M Hospital Intensive Insulin Program, has been named to a new faculty society announced by the Department of Internal Medicine. Called Academiae Laureati Medici, this Clinical Excellence Society recognizes outstanding clinicians in the department.

Faculty are nominated by Division Chiefs and evaluated by peers through recommendation letters and departmental review before being elected. Selection criteria are based on clinical parameters, “not on publications or grants or academic stature,” stated Dr. John Carethers, chair of the department. He noted that members are selected for their “outstanding clinical care and referring relationships…that create the ideal environment for patient care.”

Dr. Gianchandani is one of 23 faculty that will be inducted and recognized during a ceremony in March 2013. Members of the society will promote clinical excellence through example and perpetuation, and provide advice to the Department on clinical excellence matters.

Since its inception at UMHS, MiChart use for research has grown enormously:  As of December 2012, more than 22,000 patients are listed in more than 1100 research studies.  Similarly, since its opening to the public, the use of the Patient Portal of MiChart (MyUofMHealth.org) has grown.  By late September, only six weeks after being launched, over 14,000 patients had created active accounts.

Research subjects who have lab tests, radiology studies, or receive outpatient medication as part of a research study can normally access this information via the Patient Portal at MyUofMHealth.org.  Therefore,  in blinded or masked studies where the integrity of the study would be compromised if the subjects viewed their research test results or their list of outpatient medications, specific actions must be taken to prevent the subjects from being unblinded.

It is not possible to shield outpatient medication lists from a subject’s view at this time.  If viewing an outpatient medication list would unblind the subject, the subject should be instructed to not view the medication list.

Lab and radiology test results can be shielded from the subject through notification of MCIT.   Note that once the subject’s view of the Patient Portal in MyUofMHealth.org is limited in this way, subjects will not be able to see any test results whether they were conducted for clinical or research purposes.  Subjects will still be able to utilize all other functionality of the Patient Portal such as refilling prescriptions, paying bills, setting up appointments, etc.

Full instructions for limiting Patient Portal access and the accompanying Informed Consent  modifications and procedures are available on the IRBMED website.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact IRBMED at irbmed@umich.edu or 734-763-4768.

The Research Partnership Program includes the following funding opportunities available to faculty and graduate students. Be sure to review the materials and websites carefully to note the different purposes of the awards and apply to the most appropriate program.

• The Spring/Summer Research Grants Program will award up to 50 grants to faculty members who plan to work with doctoral students on scholarly projects during the Spring/Summer term. These grants will support a doctoral student with a 0.50 graduate student research assistant position. The grants support faculty scholarship while also financially supporting professional and intellectual development for participating students. Preference is given to faculty members who include a thoughtful plan for student mentoring in their applications. Faculty members who received a Spring/Summer Research Grant must allow three years to pass from the last award before submitting a new proposal. View application materials and additional information.

• The Rackham Centennial Fellowships are designed to enable graduate students enrolled in a Rackham program to work on their own research, scholarly or creative projects in collaboration with faculty members during the Spring/Summer term. Proposed research, scholarly, or creative activity should directly relate to and help achieve progress toward their degree.  Up to 100 Rackham Centennial Fellowship recipients will receive a $6,000 fellowship for living expenses during the Spring/Summer term. Applications are to be submitted online. Complete information about the application procedure, selection criteria, and review process can be found online.

• The Distinguished Faculty and Graduate Student Seminars Program will provide a maximum of five awards to groups of faculty, students or graduate programs proposing innovative seminars and colloquia to foster collaboration and stimulate new research. Additional information, including application forms, can be found online.

The University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) and the Peking University Health Science Center (PUHSC) Joint Institute for Translational and Clinical Research (http://www.puuma.org/) is accepting joint proposals from investigators working collaboratively at both institutions for pilot funding of projects that will demonstrate an effective team approach to discovery and new findings on diseases relative to both countries, and which can be leveraged for extramural funding opportunities.

Both UMHS and PUHSC have made significant commitments to supporting scientists to translate scientific discoveries into real health gains more quickly and efficiently, and to promote the development of novel solutions that will ultimately improve health outcomes in the US, in China, and around the world. In the initial phase of the Joint Institute (JI), three programs – pulmonary, cardiovascular, and liver – were identified because of their overall importance to global health, as well as the opportunity for effective collaboration and the potential for translational impacts.  While these programs remain major research foci areas for the JI, the Executive Board is extending the opportunity to become a part of the JI to scientists in other disciplines who seek to establish robust collaborations between the institutions that will lead to transformative science and that attracts extramural funding.  New areas of interest include, but are not limited to: diabetes mellitus, renal disease, and cerebrovascular disease.

Proposals must include Co- Principal Investigators from both UMHS and PUHSC. Full-time research faculty and tenured and tenure-track instructional faculty are eligible to serve as Principal Investigators.

Awards

1. Full Awards: up to $400,000/year* for two years (2-3 new awards anticipated)
2. Discovery Awards: up to $100,000/year* for two years (4-6 new awards anticipated)

* Funding for all awards originate equally from UMHS and PUHSC with the intent that the respective amounts will be spent within the originating country.
