The ACCRM Executive Committee invites you to the fall biannual forum virtual event on November 10, 2021. This year's discussion is on The Importance of Mentorship: Professional Development in Research.
 
ACCRM is thrilled to feature the following guest speakers; discussing How to be a Good Mentee, ACCRM welcomes Melanie Jay, MD, MS, associate professor of Medicine and Population Health, director of the NYU Langone Comprehensive Program on Obesity; and director of Research Collaboration and Mentoring for the Division of General Internal Medicine and Clinical Innovation within the Department of Medicine.
 
And, to discuss How to be a Good Mentor, ACCRM welcomes Joshua Chodosh, MD, MSHS, FACP, Freedman Professor of Geriatric Research, Professor of Medicine and Population Health, director of the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Care, director of the Freedman Research Program on Aging, Technology and Cognitive Health (CATCH), and co-director of the CDC BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence on Early Detection of Dementia.
 
Following the speakers, we will be hosting a panel discussion, of both mentees and mentors from our own research community. ACCRM is pleased to have Carmen Price, M.Ed, MS, manager, Leadership Development, Organization Development and Learning (ODL), to moderate this panel discussion.
 
And, finally, we will have ACCRM Executive Committee member, James Holahan, MPH, MS, director, Clinical Research Support & Program Administration, Office of Science and Research, who will be announcing the new pilot of our mentorship program, ACCRM LEADER (Linking Education And Development to Excel in Research), scheduled to launch January 2022.

ResearchMatch: Recruitment made easier!

ResearchMatch is a disease-neutral online volunteer registry and recruitment tool funded in part by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), an office of the NIH. It allows researchers to search for volunteers who have registered themselves as being interested in participating in research. Investigators may sign themselves up in ResearchMatch or may delegate recruitment privileges to a study coordinator or other study team member. There are two levels of access available to NYU researchers:
  • Feasibility access allows the researcher to view aggregate data regarding the ResearchMatch population. All researchers gain feasibility access once they complete the registration process. They do not need an IRB approved study to use this feature.
  • Recruitment access allows the researcher to search & contact volunteers and requires evidence of having IRB approval (or documentation of IRB exemption).
How to sign up: Key study personnel recruiting participants should register themselves as a Researcher on https://www.researchmatch.org/researchers/
Monthly researcher training: Join a live training to learn how to add a study to ResearchMatch, search for volunteers, send a contact message, and manage your enrollment continuum. These trainings are held on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 3PM EST via Zoom. Click here to register.
Questions: Contact the NYU liaisons, Carina Hampp or Juan Suarez.

Data Catalog

The NYU Data Catalog is a tool designed to help researchers make their data discoverable and find other datasets for re-use. Every month the CTSI Newsletter features a resource that is listed in the catalog. This month’s highlighted resource is a set of printer files developed by the Buzsáki Lab for a 3D-printed metal microdrive and head cap system for rodents. Suitable for both mice and Long-Evans rats, the modular headgear allows researchers to recover and reuse the silicon probes that are needed for extracellular recordings, reducing costs associated with the replacement of silicon and Neuropixel probes. The compact and minimally-invasive design permits mice and rats to move freely.

Patient Advisory Council for Research

The CTSI's Recruitment and Retention Core (RRC) facilitates a Patient Advisory Council for Research (PACR). The PACR consists of 20 patients from NYU Langone Health who attend meetings every other month to give feedback on research ideas, acceptability and feasibility of studies from a patient perspective, and how best to advertise studies. The PACR brings together council members that vary by age, race, gender, and health conditions; they are also reimbursed for their time by the CTSI. This council may be particularly helpful in providing feedback and patient voices on research projects that are in the early planning stages. 

Upcoming sessions are scheduled for Wednesday, November 17 and Wednesday, January 26 between 5:00 - 7:00pm. We still have space if you or your study team would like to present. All sessions will be conducted via Zoom until it is safe to meet in person. 

For more details please contact Juan B. Suarez and Carina Hampp.

Health Disparities Day 2021

From October 19-22, 2021, the NYU-H+H Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), in collaboration with NYU Langone’s Section for Health Equity in the Department of Population Health, NYU Langone’s Office of Diversity Affairs, the NYU-CUNY Prevention Research Center, and NYU Langone’s Institute for Excellence in Health Equity, virtually hosted its 7th annual Health Disparities Symposium. Over 520 unique attendees joined from across the country, including faculty, staff, students, health providers, community health workers, and representatives from community-based organizations, health care facilities, and the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene. The theme for this year's conference was "Looking Back to Leap Forward." Conference topics explored policy, systems, and institutional change, collaborations and engagement with communities, pathway programs for underrepresented minorities in medicine, COVID-19 vaccination, environmental justice, climate change, and mental health. Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits were provided free of charge to all participants. Recordings of all sessions will be made available on the event website shortly.
 
The keynote address was given by George Mensah, Director of the Center for Translation Research and Implementation Science (CTRIS) at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Moderators and panelists from NYU Langone included Gbenga Ogedebe, Natasha Williams, Judith Zelikoff, Cassandra Thiel, Paul Schwabacher, Crystal Fuller Lewis, Bonnie Kerker, and Grace Tian. CTSI Community Advisory Board members also spoke at the event, including Faven Araya from the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health, Yu-Kang Chen from Hamilton–Madison House, and Crystal Oh from Korean Community Services of Metropolitan New York. The agenda lists all speakers and talk topics.
