 Michelle Janelsins, Ph.D., associate professor of URMC Surgery Cancer Control, Radiation Oncology and Neuroscience, will present an overview of the importance of cancer-related cognitive impairment as a critical issue in cancer control and survivorship. She will include research studies conducted by her team both locally and nationally using clinical, translational and pre-clinical research methods. There will also be a discussion of the enhanced impact of a team-based approach.

Tobacco Research Rapid Response Funding
The NIH-funded Center for Research on Flavored Tobacco (CRoFT), a joint center of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and the University of Rochester Medical Center, has released a Rapid Response Project request for applications. The aim of this funding opportunity is to support research relevant to the regulation of tobacco products by the Food and Drug Administration.
Two to four one-year projects will be funded up to $100,000 in direct costs (each) in specific areas identified in the request for applications.
Two-page preproposals are due April 8, 2019.
Full proposals solicited from selected preproposals will be due April 24, 2019.

TIN Webinar:
Investigative Site File Reference
This webinar will discuss how an investigative site file reference model could ease the burden of regulatory binders for clinical trial sites and sponsors. The identification and organization of the clinical investigator site files required to be managed under ICH E6 have been handled in non-conforming practices. As clinical sites move to an electronic regulated content management system, these efforts would benefit from a best practice. Bridging paper to electronic files would help sites learn the benefit and further the adoption of compliant electronic management of clinical files.
Registration
Date: Monday, April 1
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm
