Have you completed basic instruction in clinical research but are looking for more? The Instruction in Monitoring, Procedures Documentation, and ClinicalTrials.gov (IMPACT) workshop series is designed for study team members who are ready for an intermediate level of training for clinical trials skills. Participants will learn critical clinical research skills through a group learning environment and hands-on skills practice. Sessions will be virtual and information will be emailed to registrants before the event. Note all sessions will have separate registrations.

Session Description:

This session will introduce participants to best practices for creating, interpreting and using a manual of procedures (MOP) and other procedures documentation to ensure standardized practices across personnel and sites of a clinical trial.

EMERSE Community Meeting Series

MICHR’s Electronic Medical Record Search Engine (EMERSE) was installed at University Hospitals of Cleveland (UH) in 2021 by the Cleveland Institute for Computational Biology (CICB), a collaboration between Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and UH.  At present, EMERSE contains indexed medical notes from 2018 through present for over 1.7 million UH patients. 

This presentation will discuss the strategies we employed to successfully install EMERSE, the lessons-learned in rolling out EMERSE to research and operational teams, some research success stories since EMERSE adoption, and the additional tools we have developed as add-ons to the EMERSE application that we use internally for tracking EMERSE metrics and plan to share with the broader EMERSE community.

The U-M Center for Drug Repurposing was launched by MICHR in 2019 to discover new uses for thousands of existing, FDA-approved drugs.

Since then, the CDR has partnered with scientists across U-M to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, screening >1000 FDA-approved drugs that might be effective against COVID and variants. 

Learn about these and other early wins, and how the CDR can support your research, at this virtual Town Hall. 

Join Founder & Executive Sponsor George A. Mashour, MD, PhD; Director Jonathan Sexton, PhD; and Teresa O'Meara, PhD and Yatrik Shah, PhD sharing how the CDR has helped them in their research. Q&A will follow their presentations.
