Stay tuned.
Metrics of Success • Metrics developed by Child Health Research Metrics of Success Workgroup to :(1) identify consistent ways in which an institution can track its own child health research trajectory over time, and (2) measure the impact of the CTSA on child health related research. • Workgroup members:Mary Aitken, Arkansas Steven Alexander, StanfordLeon Epstein, Northwestern Alejandro Hoberman, PittsburghMargaret Hostetter, Yale Charles Huskins, MayoEllis Neufeld, Harvard Todd Nick, ArkansasAnthony Philipps, UC Davis Thomas Shanley, MichiganPeter Szilagyi, Rochester
Methodology (1) • Referencing NIH definitions for clinical research, the Workgroup defined “Child health research” as “all clinical and translational research involving subjects < or = 21 years of age that impacts children’s health or addresses childhood diseases. This includes maternal-fetal research, as well as studies involving infants, children and adolescents”. • Intended that only studies in which human subjects were involved should be counted (“touching people research”).
Methodology (2) • Metrics definitions circulated in June 2009 • Pilot project launched in October 2009. Collection of data from CC-CHOC CTSAs by March 2010 included in the database • REDCap database created by Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (VICTR) to allow data entry from each CTSA site • Quantitative and qualitative data collected on each metric • Manuscript currently being written to summarize our findings
The Starter Metrics • Absolute CTSA grant dollars directly supportive of child health investigators as a proportion of the total CTSA budget • IRB approved studies involving pediatric subjects as a proportion of all IRB approved studies and those that are funded • Total of child health trainees and faculty who have received a mentoring grant • Number of pilot grants in child health research as a proportion of all funded pilot grants funded by the CTSA mechanism
Starter Metrics (2) Total inpatient and outpatient visits utilized for child health research of total GCRC days. Number of child health studies conducted in collaboration with other CTSAs Proportion of researchers in substantial CTSA leadership roles who are child health researchers Other ways child health research has benefitted from CTSA support/infrastructure Number of child health research publications that cite CTSA grant #
Year 2 Pilot Objective: Allow benchmarking at the level of the institution in support of child health research Next steps: • Present to the CTSA Steering committee Feb 15th • Institutions receive a REDCAP password to enter their data • Dovetail with data collection for annual reports • Submit data by April 1st.

Pediatric Research Ethics Working-group • The PREW is now advertising the consultation services that we are able to provide to CTSA members in the area of pediatric research. • A document is now on the PREW website and we will be sending it to various KFCs etc.
Pediatric Research Ethics Working Group Consultation Service The CTSA Child Health Oversight Committee (CC-CHOC) is one of the two CTSA consortium leadership groups and is focused on research in pediatric populations. The Pediatric Research Ethics Working Group (PREW) operates within the CC-CHOC. The PREW is comprised of individuals who have been chosen to represent their CTSA site in our working group. Several PREW members are also members of other working groups and key function committees. The goal of the PREW is to encourage consistency and clarity in addressing the ethical issues encountered in the conduct of clinical translational research in pediatric populations. While local CTSA sites or their institutions may have ethics resources available, the PREW can provide ethics consultation about specific issues related to research in pediatric populations. Our committee includes some the most respected and knowledgeable experts in pediatric research across a broad range of clinical and research expertise. Consultation with the PREW will also facilitate documentation of frequently encountered ethical issues and create a body of recommendations that will serve as a point of future reference. In addition to the PREW ethics consultation service we can also provide assistance in the development of research projects focused on research ethics. Several of our members have conducted this type of research and have valuable expertise. The PREW is also a source for investigators seeking collaborators for their research projects that have ethics components. To seek consultation or ethics research expertise from the PREW you may contact any of our members or the current Co-Chair of the PREW, Terri O’Lonergan (720-777-8529). See the schedule of future meetings as well as summaries of past meetings.
Pediatric Research Ethics Working-group • We will be presenting a TowardBest-Practices session on ethical issues in community engaged pediatric research at the CC-CHOC face-to-face meeting at PAS in 2011 • Lainie Ross will present from 3 papers a group of CTSA members have published • Followed by a panel discussion or researchers and a research partner
