Cleveland NIH StrokeNet: Clinical Research and Training Award
Application Deadline: December 1, 2016

The Cleveland StrokeNet is accepting applicants now for the 2017-2018 Clinical Research and Training Award supported by the NIH StrokeNet program (NIHStrokeNet.org).

Up to $55,000 total will be awarded for a period of one year.

The investigator must spend 50% of their effort on research during the award period.
Application Deadline: December 1, 2016

NOTICE:New NHLBI Policy: Investigator-Initiated Single-Site Clinical Trials (Phase II and beyond)
This Notice informs potential applicants of changes in NHLBI policies and procedures for the acceptance, review, and funding of investigator-initiated single-site clinical trials. The purpose of this Notice is to announce that any application requesting funding for a Phase II and beyond clinical trial (see the NIH definition of a clinical trial) using a single site must be submitted to PAR-16-405 Single-Site Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trials (R61/R33) or its reissue. For the purposes of this FOA, the definition of a single site clinical trial is one in which the protocol is implemented by one investigational site that conducts and coordinates the protocol. While a single site clinical trial may enroll participants from multiple locations/clinics within a geographic area, those participants will receive an intervention or undergo outcome assessments under the direction and oversight of one research team at one investigational site. 

For due dates on or after January 8, 2017, NHLBI will no longer accept applications for single-site clinical trials if submitted through the Research Project Grant (Parent R01) FOA PA-16-160 or its reissue.

US Department of Agriculture Consults with PRCHN Faculty

Jerold Mande, Darcy Freedman, and Kevin Concannon (left to right)
 PRCHN Associate Director Darcy Freedman, PhD and Elizabeth Littman, Senior Director of Government Relations for the CWRU School of Medicine, met with USDA Under Secretary Kevin Concannon and Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary Jerold Mande to discuss the PRCHN studies on the impact of farmers' markets on people receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Of the four programs run through the PRCHN, the most significant one is the app, FM Tracks. The app allows market managers to collect, manage, and evaluate information about their markets in real time. 
Traditionally, there is a long lag between the implementation of large scale programs like SNAP, and the evaluation and quantification of their return on investment. The consistent, real-time data provided by FM Tracks can help key decision makers see how and where healthy food incentive funding, supported by the 2014 Farm Bill, is being used by SNAP recipients in real time. 

Dr. Freedman presented the research at the USDA program directors in August, and views this as a great opportunity to share the PRCHN's research to improve nutritious food access for low-income populations.
Health Ambassadors in the Community and on the Radio

Health Ambassador James Jones, REACH Fellow Erika Hood, and Health Ambassador GiGi Elder (left to right)
Community health ambassadors James Jones and GiGi Elder were trained by HIP-Cuyahoga's Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL) Program to improve health equity in their communities and to represent their communities concerns about health issues.
In continuation of this work, they are taking action by promoting HIP-Cuyahoga's community day on Sept. 10th through two public service announcements which were broadcast on the radio (Listen to their broadcasts). In addition to recording these radio spots, James and GiGi participated in a remote event with Radio One at Hayden Food Plus where they gave away prizes, engaged residents, and promoted Community Day and the work being done by HIP-Cuyahoga.

LiveStories VP Andy Krackov (Front row, left) reviews stories created participants at August 2nd Live Stories Workshop
Health Data Matters update:
The Health Data Matters project, led by UHI and the MPH Program, hosted LiveStories Vice President Andy Krackov for a workshop in using the LiveStories platform to create compelling narratives around data.  Check out examples of stories created such as this one focused on diagnosis and treatment of elevated lead in area children, hdm.livestories.com.  Funded in part by a grant from the Midwest Big Data Hub, the workshop attracted over thirty participants from the University, local health departments and nonprofit organizations. 



Regional News in Open Data:
UHI Director Amy Sheon has joined the planning committee for the NSF-funded Midwest Big Data Hub(MBDH) All Hands Meeting in October in Chicago.  The MBDH focuses on unique opportunities and interest for our region in national efforts to collect, manage, mine and analyze rapidly growing and increasingly complex data and information to create actionable knowledge and guide decision making.  Themes of our Region's hub include Healthcare/Biomedical Research, Agriculture, Network Science, Smart Cities & Communities, Transportation, Advanced Manufacturing, the Nexus of Water/Food/Energy, and Digital Agriculture.   If you are interested in attending or presenting your work at the meeting, contact the MBDH Executive Director Melissa Cragin, cragin@illinois.edu.
 
Local Open Data News:
In recognition of our city's growing national presence in open data, the Sunlight Foundation's annual Transparency Camp will be held October 14-15th in Cleveland Ohio.  Over the last seven years, the annual event has brought together thousands of people to share their knowledge about how to use new technologies and develop policies that make government work better for the people-and empowers people to connect more effectively with government.  One huge success from a prior year's Camp was the creation of  Code for America, which organizes brigades of local volunteers and fellows to develop applications to improve government while training youth in computer coding.
 
Please Encourage Students/Trainees to Sign Up for Cleveland Medical Hackathon
Applications are now being taken for the 2nd annual Cleveland Medical Hackathon.  We hope members of the CTSC community will apply to participate, or provide input as mentors or judges.

Funding Funding Opportunities

Belcher-Weir Family Pediatric Innovation Day

Idea Submission Deadline: September 5, 2016
In 2008, University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital paired up with the non-profit organization Institute of Pediatric Innovation with a common mission of creating a conduit for improving pediatric care. With the intent of harboring innovation and developing employee ideas on improving pediatric care, the First Annual Pediatric Innovation Day was developed.

Now in its eighth year and growing stronger every year, Pediatric Innovation Day is looking for any University Hospitals or Case Western Reserve University employee who has an idea on how to provide better care to pediatric patients. This can be an improvement to a pre-existing treatment method, the development of a new device or tool, or simply a new way to better care for our smallest patients.

Ideas can be submitted which are in any level of development, and do not need to be long, complex or fully developed. All submitted ideas will be reviewed by the UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital community and the top three ideas will receive $7,500 to further develop, protect, commercialize and implement their idea.

For questions, please contact Stephen Behm at Stephen.Behm@UHHospitals.org.

Idea Submission Deadline: Sept. 5, 2016
