Biostatistics, Ethics, Data Management, Research Design and Community Engagement(BEDRoC) Core
Biostatistics, Ethics, Data Management, Research Design and Community Engagement (BEDRoC) Core Abstract The Biostatistics, Ethics, Data Management, Research Design and Community Engagement (BEDRoC) Core will promote and support aging with serious illness science for the Center for Aging with Serious Illness (CASI). BEDRoC will provide expertise in statistical design and analysis, research ethics, and community engagement for all components of CASI. The Core's services will support the Research Project Leaders (RPLs) and Pilot Project Leaders (PPLs) and build capacity for the broader Dartmouth Health aging research community to conduct rigorous, impactful research to inform and improve care delivery for older adults with serious illness. BEDRoC includes expertise in mixed methods approaches that feature both quantitative and qualitative research methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex issues related to aging with serious illness, ethical approaches to consent in research trials, multidimensional quality of life measurement, and innovative modeling approaches to studying clinical decision making. BEDRoC faculty have actively collaborated in study planning with each RPL, serving as both mentors and experienced collaborators on the three different projects involving decision aids for patients considering carotid revascularization, a patient-reported outcome-directed referral intervention to improve referral rates to palliative care services, and a pilot trial for a virtual/home-based exercise and a weight management osteoarthritis treatment program in older patients with osteoarthritis and multimorbidity. The BEDRoC Core will further support CASI by establishing an innovative training curriculum with workshops, tutorials, resources, and services, offered locally to RPLs and PPLs and extended to regional and national investigators in the IDeA network. In addition to their primary individual project mentors, each RPL will receive training and guidance from BEDRoC leaders through co-mentoring and RPL-focused works-in-progress sessions. BEDRoC will also provide access to a comprehensive inventory of patient-reported outcomes instruments, which are crucial in geriatric research to provide validated measures of health status, quality of life and functional ability outcomes. BEDRoC will coordinate with the Administrative and Mentoring Core to integrate community advisors in guiding their activities in support of the RPLs. BEDRoC will also enable research collaboration with and within the larger Dartmouth and IDeA investigator communities. The BEDRoC Core will build capacity for aging research and disseminate new resources to RPLs and PPLs, including innovative solutions created through robust community engagement. These services, resources, and solutions will ensure all projects operate in a cohesive, complementary, and collaborative manner to study approaches to improving the health of older patients with serious illness.
Bridging the gap from research to clinical decision making in epilepsy neuromodulation; How to become an integral part of the functional neurosurgery team as a radiologist
On Wednesday, November 30th, at noon ET / 6PM CET, we will host Alexandre Boutet and Erik H. Middlebrooks. Alexandre Boutet, MD, PhD, is a neuroradiology fellow at the University of Toronto, and will tell us about “How to become an integral part of the functional neurosurgery team as a radiologist”. Erik H. Middlebrooks, MD, is a Professor and Consultant of Neuroradiology and Neurosurgery and the Neuroradiology Program Director at Mayo Clinic. Beside his scientific presentation about “Bridging the Gap from Research to Clinical Decision Making in Epilepsy Neuromodulation”, he will also give us a glimpse at the “Person behind the science”. The talks will be followed by a shared discussion. You can register via talks.stimulatingbrains.org to receive the (free) Zoom link!
