The Implementation Science Network (ISN) Toolkit outlines resources for investigators interested in pursuing implementation science research, with an eye towards building capacity for implementation science across U-M and beyond that also bridges community-based and health equity research to inform successful competitive research funding with the goal of reducing health disparities.
This presentation is designed for study team members who desire a reintroduction to basic statistical concepts for clinical and health focused human subjects research. It is not meant to teach you any particular software.
This presentation reviews the process of valid informed consent focusing on why informed consent is important, the specific elements of informed consent and how to assure that these elements have resulted in informed consent.
This self-guided course is designed to outline best practices for clinical research. While these best practices are based in the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) from the International Conference on Harmonization, this course is not able to fulfill requirements to complete GCP training.
The goal of this e-learning course is to enable learners to apply good clinical practice (GCP) principles to clinical research investigations involving human subjects as they specifically apply to social and behavioral research.
This job aide provides supplemental resources and tips for study team members responsible for the process of using electronic consent (eConsent) for clinical and translational research. It provides key messages and discusses issues involved with eConsent, with a particular focus on the issue of accessibility.
The University of Michigan provides many resources to help research professionals improve their skills and implement their research. This toolkit provides a list of some of these resources and reasons why you might need them.
Community-engaged research (CEnR) occurs when academic institutions and community organizations come together to make real and lasting change in the form of practices, programs, and ultimately policies that mobilize resources and influence systems.
The Detroit Area Mental Health Leadership Team, a community-engaged research partnership with MICHR, collaborated with community-academic partners in Metropolitan Detroit to develop an advocacy brief examining the impact of stigma in cases of opioid use disorder (OUD) and recommend public health approaches to re-designing recovery services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Community Engagement team has created community-focused flyers at an accessible reading level with information regarding COVID-19.
In 2016, the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) met with community partners in Flint to identify ways it could support their recovery. The meeting resulted in MICHR funding several research projects focused on the Flint Water Crisis.
To address the need for consistent training and assessment of research skills, MICHR has collaborated three other universities to create the DIAMOND portal. The portal is a digital collection that serves as a sustainable, federated database for members of clinical and translational research study teams to share and access training and assessment resources.
This self-guided course is designed to outline basic data management concepts and demonstrate how data managers, or other study team members, can work to improve data quality. You will learn to speak the language of data management and discover how the concepts presented can be applied to the everyday management of research data.
How often do you see single author publications? Effective collaboration is essential for a successful scientific career. The tips and resources in this toolkit will help you connect with collaborators at U-M and beyond.
Are you new to team science or not sure what it even is? The following videos will give you a taste of the skills, knowledge and resources that are important for doing team science well.
The videos were developed in collaboration with the Michigan Medicine Office of Faculty Development. Videos are based on the Top 10 Take Aways and other content from the National Cancer Institute’s Collaboration and Team Science: A Field Guide.
The MICHR Career Development Academy is designed to enhance leadership, team building, and career development for mentors and scholars in the KL2 and Postdoctoral Translational Scholars programs. This document includes examples of proven educational programs available at U-M related to leadership, work/life balance, and team science; however, this is not an exhaustive list.
This self-guided course is designed to introduce you to the concept of PI responsibilities and health research at the University of Michigan. Interactions throughout the course provide an opportunity to practice applying those responsibilities within the context of a typical clinical research scenario.
This self-guided course is designed to introduce you to regulatory responsibilities of sponsors and investigators of drug and device studies.
This elective module is designed to reinforce the responsibilities of clinical researchers related to disclosing outside interests and conflicts of interest. This module is not a substitute for regulatory-required conflict of interest training for researchers offered through the university's PEERRS program.
The Translational Science Toolkit provides an overview of the necessary knowledge, resources and connections that will guide your exploration of the translational impact of your research findings.
