  • Building Trust Between Minorities and Researchers: Challenges and Opportunities in Recruitment and Retention of Minorities in Research
    • - Stephen B. Thomas and Sandra Crouse Quinn (2011/03/16)
    • - Category : Health Disparities
    In commemoration of Black History Month, the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) kicks off the 2011 NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series on February 17, 2011 with a focus on the issue of recruiting and retaining minorities in clinical research.

    The low participation of racial/ethnic minorities in clinical trials remains a major concern for researchers.?? Research points to several factors that contribute to the underrepresentation of minorities in clinical trials including low literacy, cost or lack of health insurance, lack of awareness, mistrust, religious, spiritual and cultural beliefs.

    The NIH supports various innovative activities to increase the participation of minorities in clinical research, and is pleased to welcome Dr. Stephen B. Thomas and Dr. Sandra Crouse Quinn co-principal investigators at the University of Marylands Center for Health Equity as the featured speakers for the February seminar. Their presentation will focus on strategies aimed at increasing minority participation in biomedical and public health research, as well as the influence of researchers as potential barriers to the low participation rate. Our speakers will present highlights of the work being done through their NIH Bioethics Research Infrastructure Initiative: Building Trust between Minorities and Researchers, including media products created as part of the Building Trust curriculum initiatives

  • Rare Disease Day at NIH - Morning Session
    • - ORDR & Clinical Center (2011/03/10)
    • - Category : Conferences
    Staff and public are invited to attend Rare Disease Day at NIH, a day-long celebration recognizing rare diseases research activities supported by several government agencies and advocacy organizations. Rare Disease Day was established to raise public awareness about rare diseases, the challenges encountered by those affected, the importance of research to develop diagnostics and treatments, and the impact of these diseases on patients??? lives. There are about 7,000 rare diseases identified in the United States. About 80 percent of rare diseases are genetic in origin and it is estimated that about half of all rare diseases affect children.

    Organizers have put together an agenda of scheduled talks???including two from NIH Bench-to-Bedside Award investigators???and posters and exhibits from many groups relevant to the rare diseases research community. NIH Director Dr. Francis S. Collins will speak to attendees.

    In association with the Global Genes Project (a grassroots effort to use jeans to raise awareness for rare genetic disorders), organizers urge all attendees to wear their favorite pair of jeans.

    Co-sponsored by the NIH Office of Rare Diseases Research and the Clinical Center. This is a free event that is scheduled from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, with a lunch break and poster session from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. Pre-registration is encouraged.

    Sign language interpreters will be provided.

  • Getting a Sense of Direction: Combination of Sensory Cues Improves Spatial Perception
    • - Dora Angelaki, Ph.D. (2011/03/10)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Neuroscience Seminar Series

    Dr. Angelakis laboratory is interested in the multisensory integration necessary for self-motion perception, spatial orientation and the control of movement. Specifically they study the processing of visual and vestibular spatiotemporal information, and how such information is used to generate neural representations of space as a function of time. They seek to understand how multi-sensory information is processed, integrated and transformed into either commands for movement or perceptual decisions. The tools they use involve both computational and experimental approaches, including behavioral analyses, single unit recording and microstimulation/inactivation of different brain regions of macaque monkeys in the brainstem, cerebellum, thalamus and the cortex.

    • - Category : Core Curriculum (HHS Only)
    The session will have a panel of program experts commenting on the questions posed in the outline???things you do when performing the program job.

    Variations in methodological preference must be recognized among the different Institutes and Centers. Approaches to the program job learned in this core may be at variance to accustomed ways, and should be first discussed with staff colleagues and supervisors before implementing. New ways to get things done may well be appreciated, but surprises are not often well received.

  • THE CALIFORNIA RIGHT CARE INITIATIVE: IMPROVING CARDIOVASCULAR OUTCOMES THROUGH QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS
    • - Robert M. Kaplan, PhD (2011/03/09)
    • - Category : BSSR Lecture Series
    BSSR Lecture

    Efforts to improve the quality of chronic disease care have often failed to improve patient outcomes. Averaged across all practices, patients receive the recommended care only about half the time. In California the performance rates for many standard chronic care quality measures, such as control of high LDL cholesterol or blood pressure, rank substantially below those of other states.



    Although protocols for managing these risk factors are known to be effective, the major problem is in achieving application of the protocols by providers and adherence among patients. Not all plans are poor performers and there is substantial variability across California medical plans. The best performing California health plans are among the national quality performance leaders and we have been focusing on high performing plans with the goal of spreading their practices to plans performing less well. This presentation reviews efforts from the NHLBI funded California Comparative Effectiveness and Outcomes Improvement (CEOI) Center, an entity that is developing a sustainable statewide infrastructure for Comparative Effectiveness Research on primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) for the 15 million people enrolled in California managed care plans.



    Partners in the effort include the State of California, three campuses of the University of California, RAND, and most of the major health plans serving California (Kaiser, Blue Cross, United, Atena). Results from a community wide project in San Diego demonstrate the effects of medical practice design changes on outcome systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and glycosylated hemoglobin. Methodologies for monitoring high and low performing groups will also be presented.
