  1. First Annual Meeting

  2. Project Development Teams:Concept and Example Scott C. Denne, M.D. Professor of Pediatrics Associate Director of the Indiana CTSI

  3. Barriers to Translational Research • Lack of expert guidance in multidisciplinary research • Lack of coordinated access to resources • Insufficient protected time for experts to work with investigators • Complexity of regulatory requirements • Lack of coordinated access to patient populations

  4. Project Development Teams • Purpose • Interface with basic and clinical scientists to design and implement high quality, feasible, fundable clinical/translational research projects • “One stop shop” providing investigators access to multidisciplinary research expertise, biostatistics, regulatory and nursing support, and pilot funds

  5. Project Development Teams • Characteristics • Accessible • Facilitative • Interactive • Collaborative • Not simply review groups • Will discuss ideas and concepts with investigators and fully assist in developing research projects

  6. Project Development Teams • Responsibilities • Identify testable hypotheses • Write protocols; Review proposed protocols • Identify clinical collaborators • Oversee IRB submission • Specify resources necessary • Provide pilot funds • Monitor progress

  7. Pediatric Project Development Team • Members • Clinical researchers • Basic scientists • Health service researcher • Biostatistician • Regulatory support • Research Nurse coordinator • Project Manager

  8. Pediatric Project Development Team • Members/roles • 3 active experienced clinical researchers • Design evaluate, write clinical protocols • Specify patient populations and clinical collaborators • 2 active experienced MD basic scientists • Translators between basic scientists and clinicians • Basic science perspective on clinical studies

  9. Pediatric Project Development Team • Members/roles • Heath service researcher • Access databases to identify patient populations • Link to community research • Biostatistician • Provide input into study design during development • Provide statistical analysis for studies

  10. Pediatric Project Development Team • Members/roles • Regulatory Support • Provides case-specific regulatory advice during design and conduct of study. • Provides awareness of other protocols, resources, programs. • Research Nurse/Coordinator • Helps develop and write the protocol, recruitment process, budget, IRB required paperwork, and Investigational New Drug/Device applications. • Performs/delegates the study procedures with subjects.

  11. Pediatric Project Development TeamExample • Pediatric basic scientist makes an in vitro observation of the effect of glucose on endothelial progenitor cells • Meets with PDT: explore extending studies to pregnant women and their babies • Clinical design and protocol written by PDT, including biostatistics • PDT supports IRB submission and approval

  12. Pediatric Project Development TeamExample (continued) • Research nurse assigned to obtain pilot samples • Pilot funds provided by PDT ($10K) • R21 submitted and funded • Manuscript published in Diabetes • R01 submitted and given favorable score but not funded; additional data obtained and R01 resubmitted and currently under review.

  13. Project Development Teams • Preclinical PDT • Pediatric PDT • Adult PDT • Behavioral/Population Science PDT • TRIP PDT • Purdue PDT

  14. Project Development TeamsSummary • Facilitate, expand, and enhance collaborative translational research • Bring expertise and resources to investigator in one setting • Teams interact with overlapping membership
