Multi-Site EFIC Research: Perspectives from the SIRB & Lead Study Team
Lisa Rigtrup, BS, CIP, Kammy Jacobsen, Lindsey Martineau & Ryane Sorenson
Serving as the lead study team for multi-site research with an Exception from Informed Consent (EFIC) waiver can be a challenging prospect, even for the most seasoned researcher. The University of Utah IRB and Utah Data Coordinating Center will join us to discuss their experiences collaborating to launch EFIC research at sites across the country using single IRB (SIRB) oversight. The presenters will discuss innovations, lessons learned, and experiences from the perspective of the SIRB staff, IRB board members, and lead study coordinators related to the SIRB review and participating site startup process for EFIC research.

COLLABORATION WEBINAR
Paying Participants in Research: Time to Move Forward…
Neal Dickert, MD, PhD
Dr. Dickert will discuss practical and ethical considerations related to paying research participants for participation. In particular, he will discuss available data that suggest many traditional concerns about payment are not grounded in evidence, address the potential for payment to function differently in different research contexts, and consider the potential role of payment in addressing rather than exacerbating concerns about distributive justice.

COLLABORATION WEBINAR
Equipping researchers to overcome recruitment challenges: An institution’s programmatic response to the voice of its research community
Meredith Zauflik, MPA & Kitt Swartz, MPH
This webinar will discuss how the recruitment program of Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute (OCTRI), the CTSA at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), focused its programmatic development in response to the researcher’s voice. How they engaged the research community through surveys, interviews, and ongoing interaction with the research team community to identify the experiences, challenges, needs and culture of recruitment at the institution. The services that were developed and offered, based on results and findings, included consultations, guidance materials, and educational seminars. Additionally, OCTRI Recruitment will discuss the outcomes of these initiatives, along with the lessons learned of trying to measure the impact a program can have on recruitment.

Voices in Clinical Translational Science Series - "Machine Learning: Endless Possibilities"
Dr. Hoda Eldardiry
The Voices in Clinical & Translational Science series serves as a platform to lift underrepresented voices in research across the iTHRIV partnership with a focus on promoting dialogue and encouraging team science. This seminar series is aimed at amplifying diverse perspectives in clinical and translational research to foster innovation and an inclusive environment. Presenters will share their science and also their lived experience as an underrepresented person in research. It is our hope that listeners will be called to listen more deeply to one another, and to seek new opportunities to broaden their own research in our shared quest to improve the health of our communities in Virginia and beyond.
This session (August 20th, 2024 1-2 pm ) is presented by Dr. Hoda Eldardiry from the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.
You will receive a link to attend the virtual Zoom event after you complete the registration below.
