CT Research Studio: Incubator Program(Research Studio Consult Program) Directors Jane EB Reusch, MD and David West, PhD
Specific Aims: • To Develop a Clinical Translational Research Consult program based upon the Vanderbilt Clinical and Translational Research Studios Program • Concept: A multidisciplinary internal scientific “consult “ service which will provide free, structured, project-specific feedback for medical researchers.
Focused Support At the Appropriate Stage of Research • Maximizing the amount and rigor of information a project generates • Facilitate translation into publication, practice, and policy Remove Barriers Associated With: • Research Workforce Limitations • Research Operations Complexity • Organizational Silos (Califf 2010)
CTSA Administrative support (website, logistics, financial management)
Approach: Overview Establish Organizational Structure Outreach and Promotion Develop Website Referrals from Pilot, ETCD, Departments.. Strategic outreach to campus and Affiliates Endorsement of CCTSI and AHC leadership Studio Request Panel Development and Logistics Studio sessions Evaluation using Rapid Change QI
Approach Web-based Consult Request Studio Consult Categories: • hypothesis generation • study design • grant review • implementation • analysis • interpretation • manuscript review • translation
Approach Panel Development and Logistics • Director and Manager Collaboration • Endorsement by senior leadership • Recognition for this service (stipend/promotion) • Expectations of Panelists and moderator • Moderator training and coaching Studio sessions-Face to Face * • 90 Minutes • Initial format based on Vanderbilt
Metrics: Evaluation • Consult number • Scientist satisfaction • Consultant satisfaction • Time from consult to studio session/summary report • Changes in research network (pre-post) • Profiles network • Use of CCTSI infrastru8cture • Development of collaborations • Traditional l Metrics • Publication and grants citing this CCTSI resource
National CTSA Consortium Involvement • No formal involvement on this program • Based on varied success of this format across CTSA’s would recommend joining with the Vanderbilt group to develop a startegy for cross CTSA deployment • Reusch: CTSA-VA SIG (Team lead on Career Development); Prior ACRT Board and 2012-2013 Mentoring Chair
Questions for EAC: Justification • New Program using resources and being established at the time of major decline in NIH funding of our site. • Which aspects of our evaluation plan are most important to overall CTSA impact? • Based on success and lack of success across the country do you have “lessons learned “ for us to build on? • Are the major “holes” basing program so directly on the Vanderbilt model? • Lack of combined graduate/undergraduate campus • Unique affiliate attributes • Discussion of intangible benefits basic/clinical interaction and CTSA outreach
