On May 13, 2011, members of the government (military and civilian), academia, and industry convened a one-day conference at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to generate collaborative research opportunities and discuss ways to share data resources. Meeting attendees represented the following entities: Air Force Medical Service (AFMS), Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Consortium, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Veterans’ Administration (VA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), industry, care providers and research investigators. The participants focused specifically on enabling new research for patient centered research including comparative effectiveness research, health economics, and biomedical informatics. |
| Asthma Outcomes Workshop |
Meeting/ Workshop |
AHRQ, CDC, CMS, FDA, HRSA |
NHLBI, NIA, NIAID, NICHD, NIEHS, NIMHD, NINR |
The NHLBI participated in a workshop, attended by federal agency representatives and asthma clinical researchers, to establish standard definitions and data collection methodologies for validated outcome measures in asthma clinical research. Standard definitions and methods would facilitate comparisons across asthma research studies and clinical trials. A secondary objective of the workshop was to identify promising outcome measures for asthma clinical research and discuss the status of their development and validation. |
| Bacterial Waterborne and Emerging Infectious Diseases in the MENA Region |
Meeting/ Workshop |
CDC, FDA |
NIAID |
The meeting will provide a forum for exchange of current information on basic and applied research on cholera, typhoid, leptospirosis, and brucellosis, and to identify research gaps and priorities, and promote and stimulate research collaborations among scientists in the US, Europe, and MENA region. |
| Behavioral and Social Sciences in HIV Vaccine Clinical Research |
Meeting/ Workshop |
CDC |
NIAID, NIMH, OD |
The purpose of this workshop was to identify how HIV vaccine and Behavioral and Social Science (BSS) researchers, along with relevant communities, could undertake a more collaborative and integrative approach to the area of HIV vaccine clinical research. The workshop sought to identify challenges and opportunities as well as break new ground operationally to advance such an approach.
During the 1.5 day workshop, presentations on key BSS topics, methodology, and experiences were presented and discussed. A community panel shared their experiences and insights related to trial participation and community engagement. To formulate concrete recommendations for addressing specific BSS issues in upcoming HIV vaccine clinical research, participants divided into groups to discuss the following topics: social impact, risk assessment, community engagement, informed consent, risk reduction, and special populations. |
