September 2014 Newsletter
Distinguished University Professorship awarded to collaborative medicine pioneer Kurt Stange

Congratulations to Dr. Kurt Stange for receiving a Distinguished University Professorship! He is the Research & Development Mentor in the CTSC Practice Based Research Network (PBRN), and a member of the CTSC Executive Steering Committee. 

        

The permanent, honorific title recognizes the outstanding contributions of full-time, tenured professors with exceptional academic records of research, scholarship, teaching and service. Stange says that the award is a humbling recognition of longstanding relationships built in 26 years at Case Western Reserve. He notes in particular "how easy it is to collaborate across departments, schools, and with groups."

 

Stange has created partnerships not only across every school at Case Western Reserve, but also between the university and community partners. Specifically, he has worked to advance cooperation among disparate factions in research, and has taken strides to create a venue that encourages all involved parties to consider research relevant to health care policy and interventions. The Cancer Center and Clinical & Translational Science Collaborative have been important recent partners in these efforts.

NIH Biosketch Changes Coming Soon
 
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has initiated a second round of pilots to assess a planned modification of the NIH Biographical Sketch (Biosketch). 

The NIH believes that the modified biosketch will offer reviewers a better picture of a researcher's accomplishments and capabilities, and will help illuminate the downstream effects of scientific discovery. 

In a recent blog post, Sally Rockey, NIH's Deputy Director for Extramural Research, said, "We strongly believe that allowing a researcher to generate an account of his or her own work will provide a clearer picture of each individual's contributions and capabilities. But one might question whether this new biosketch will have a negative impact on younger investigators whose body of work may not be as robust as more established investigators. I believe the contrary is true; this new format will give early career investigators a platform for describing and framing the significance of their contributions, which should help reviewers better understand their accomplishments without having to rely simply on a list of publications."

During the pilot, researchers will use existing resources to create biosketches using the new format, but starting this coming fall, the SciENcv system will be modified to help researchers generate biosketches in the new format.

The Ohio Clinical Trial Collaborative (OCTC)


The Ohio Clinical Trials Collaborative OCTC is developing partnerships with the drug industry to include biotech and pharmaceutical industries to perform clinical drug trials in phase I through IV. The OCTC is a network of Ohio based hospitals led by working groups in areas such as neuro-oncology, pediatrics, infectious disease, and neuroscience. The OCTC was launched at the BIO2014 which was attended by 15,000 biotech and pharmaceutical executives in San Diego resulting in numerous leads for potential drug trials.


The OCTC has plans to attend additional biotech and pharmaceuticals shows. The OCTC is looking for additional working groups interested in developing a sell sheet that can then be searched on the World Wide Web and will begin sales and marketing activities to identify opportunities with industry. If there are companies that individuals would like OCTC to target, the group welcomes that feedback.

Research Highlights
Population Health and Outcomes Research Core
Paul Bakaki, MD,
Nicholas Schiltz, PhD
PhD
Siran Koroukian, PhD


In collaboration with a number of investigators from within and outside of CWRU, researchers from the Population Health and Outcomes Research Core received funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to study multiple chronic conditions (MCC) in older adults.  Using a unique data resource, developed by linking records from the Health and Retirement Study and Medicare enrollment and claims data, they will identify the most frequent combinations of chronic conditions, especially as they relate to health services utilization patterns, costs, and mortality.


This study is unique from a number of perspectives.  First, instead of relying on the presence of chronic conditions only, the definition of MCC will account for the occurrence and co-occurrence of functional limitations and geriatric syndromes, such as cognitive deficits and sensory impairments. Second, rather than using traditional approaches to analysis, the researchers will use data mining techniques that will make it possible to account for a very high number of possible combinations of conditions and select the ones that are most relevant to the outcome(s) of interest.

 

The findings will show the importance of a more

comprehensive and personalized approach when characterizing patients with MCC.  In addition, as we identify subgroups of patients with MCC with high risk for poor outcomes and high resource use, it will be possible to de

sign targeted interventions to better meet these patients' health care needs and to curtail health care utilization.

 

For more information on using the linked Health and Retirement Study and Medicare data to address various research questions, investigators may contact Dr. Koroukian (skoroukian@case.edu). Read more.

AHRQ Announces Continued Interest in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Career Development Awards

With this Notice, AHRQ announces its continued interest in supporting individual Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) career development awards. AHRQ has two Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) currently accepting applications, which can be found at:

  • AHRQ Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Mentored Clinical Investigator Award (K08), PA-13-180
  • AHRQ Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01), PA-13-181 
Background and Research Areas of Interest

The mission of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is to produce evidence to make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable, and to work within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) and with other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used.

 

The overall goal of the AHRQ PCOR Career Development Program is to build the nation's capacity for comparative clinical effectiveness research.

 

Improving Health Care Quality by Accelerating Implementation of PCOR
Within the mission, AHRQ seeks research that will help to improve the health and health care of all by accelerating the use of evidence about 'what works, for whom, under what circumstances' into clinical practice and health care policy development.  Research should focus on ensuring that patients and their families, health care professionals, and health care policy makers have the information they need in order to make informed health care decisions and are able and empowered to use it.

 

Specifically, AHRQ areas of PCOR research interest include:

  • Demonstrating the effectiveness of synthesizing, translating, and communicating complex scientific evidence to facilitate informed care planning and health care decision making by patients, families, and health care professionals at the individual level and informed policy decision making at the health system and population level.
  • Discovering, testing, and spreading techniques for health care practice improvement to improve health care quality, including accelerating the sustainable implementation of evidence-based practice. AHRQ has particular interest in practice improvement in ambulatory care settings.
  • Improving health care quality through the use of information systems and data resources that both provide meaningful clinical decision support to health care professionals and patients and families at the point of care and that capture important actions and outcomes of health care to support clinical and organizational improvement.
  • Developing the methods underlying the fields of evidence synthesis, stakeholder and patient engagement, decision making, and practice improvement.
Further Guidance

NEW Limited Submission: Burroughs Welcome Fund - Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease

Key Deadlines: September 22, 2014, 5:00pm (CWRU Letter of Intent), November 3, 2014, 4:00pm EST (external application).

This Burroughs Wellcome Fund award is a limited funding opportunity for assistant professors from Case, UH, Metro and the Cleveland Clinic. 

This award provides $500,000 over a period of five years to support accomplished investigators at the assistant professor level to study pathogenesis, with a focus on the interplay between human and microbial biology, shedding light on how human and microbial systems are affected by their encounters. The awards are intended to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to pursue new avenues of inquiry and higher-risk research projects that hold potential for significantly advancing the biochemical, pharmacological, immunological, and molecular biological understanding of how microbes and the human body interact. 

The Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease program provides opportunities for assistant professors to bring multidisciplinary approaches to the study of human infectious diseases. The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for accomplished investigators still early in their careers to study what happens at the points where human and microbial systems connect. The program supports research that sheds light on the fundamentals that affect the outcomes of this encounter: how colonization, infection, commensalism and other relationships play out at levels ranging from molecular interactions to systemic ones.
