Clinical and Translational Research Course for PhD Students Training Initiative FDA CC, NCATS, NCI, NHLBI, NIAID, NIDA, NIDCR, NIDDK, NIGMS, NIMH, NINDS The Clinical and Translational Research Course for Ph.D. Students is a two-week intensive introductory course for graduate students in the basic biomedical sciences who have at least one year of graduate study. The purpose of the course is to demonstrate and highlight the roles of PhD scientists in clinical and translational research, to provide an overview and examples of how basic science and clinical observations lead to translational research, and to increase awareness and access to Ph.D. role models, research resources, and potential career opportunities at the NIH.
Clinical Decision Support (CDS) Federal Collaboratory and Inventory of Federal Clinical Decision Support Activities Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force AHRQ, CDC, HRSA, IHS, OS NLM, CC A federal community of interest focused on clinical decision support (CDS), and a compilation of project summaries describing CDS activities that are either funded by the US Federal government, or that are being executed by agencies of the government. CDS encompasses a variety of tools and technologies that are used within electronic clinical information systems to improve the quality, safety, efficiency and effectiveness of patient care. CDS provides clinicians, staff, patients, and other key decision makers with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. CDS encompasses computerized alerts and reminders, clinical guidelines, order sets, order entry feedback, patient data reports and dashboards, documentation templates, diagnostic support, and the presentation of contextually relevant reference information within clinical information systems. NLM has submitted to the Collaboratory and Inventory summaries of NLM projects involving Clinical Decision Support.

Clinical Islet Transplantation Consortium Research Initiative CMS, FDA NIDDK, NIAID The Clinical Islet Transplantation (CIT) Consortium is a network of clinical centers and a data coordinating center established in 2004 to conduct studies of islet transplantation in people with type 1 diabetes. Studies conducted by the CIT Consortium will focus on improving the safety and long-term success of methods for transplanting islets, the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, in people whose own islets have been destroyed by the autoimmune process that characterizes type 1 diabetes. One clinical trial, in particular, is studying the efficacy of islet transplantation after kidney transplantation. Participants may include Medicare beneficiaries. This study was mandated in the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.

Clinical Utilization Plan for Anthrax Medical Countermeasure Use in a Mass Casualty Event (CUPAC) Medical Countermeasures Workgroup Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force CDC CC Dr. Marion Danis is participating as a member of the Medical Countermeasures Work Group to provide clinical algorithms that will assist clinicians to evaluate, triage, diagnose and treat large number of patients presenting with symptoms of anthrax. It will also provide a clinical prioritization schema for the use of medical countermeasures specific to anthrax and outline unique critical care issues that may require special consideration.
Clinical Vocabulary and Standards Development for Meaningful Use of Electronic Medical Records Committee, Work group, Advisory group, or Task Force AHRQ, CDC, CMS, OS NLM NLM is collaborating with OS and HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) on developing and disseminating regulatory language related to health information technology, meaningful use, and standards and certification criteria related to electronic health records and messaging. Collaboration includes serving as members of the Content Standards Workgroup, and Semantic Standards Workgroup of the Health IT (HIT) Standards Committee. The HIT Standards Committee is a Federal advisory committee that was created by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act to provide input to HHS on the policies and technologies needed to improve health and care.
