Next Generation Microfluidics Workshop Meeting/ Workshop FDA NHLBI This workshop focused on discussion of the state of the microfluidics (MF) field in biomedical applications, limitations in the field of MF, and how to move the field forward to extract the maximum utility to help patients. This meeting was a call to educate colleagues at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) about what can be done collectively to enable better research and move closer to translational applications, and bring more products to researchers in the MF space and to clinicians and patients.
NGSP (formerly the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program) (NGSP) Resource Development CDC NIDDK, CC The purpose of the NGSP (formerly the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program) is to standardize Hemoglobin A1c test results to those of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), which established the direct relationships between HbA1c levels and outcome risks in patients with diabetes.
NIA IMPACT Collaboratory Transforming Dementia Care (IMPACT Collaboratory) Research Initiative CDC NIA The mission of the IMbedded Pragmatic Alzheimers disease (AD) and AD Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory is to build the nation’s capacity to conduct pragmatic clinical trials of interventions embedded within health care systems for people living with dementia and their care partners. The IMPACT Collaboratory accomplishes this mission by: developing and disseminating best practice research methods; supporting the design and conduct of pragmatic trials, including pilot studies; building investigator capacity through training and knowledge generation; catalyzing collaboration among stakeholders, healthcare providers, and investigators; and ensuring the research includes culturally-tailored interventions and people from diverse and under-represented backgrounds.
