Biomedical and Health Data Sciences Collaborative (BHDSC) Winter 2023 Symposium
Dec 06 , 2023

The Biomedical and Health Data Sciences Collaborative (BHDSC),  a cross-disciplinary group formed by Tufts CTSI and the Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies (ICRHPS) at Tufts Medical Center, invites you to attend their Winter 2023 Symposium on “Precision Nutrition and Artificial Intelligence” on Wednesday, December 6 at 2:00PM.

The event will feature presentations from Sai Krupa Das, PhD, a senior scientist on the Energy Metabolism Team at Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging and Professor in the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and Eric Miller, PhD, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering, and Computer Science.

Abstract

The goal of precision nutrition is to provide individual dietary recommendations based on an individual’s genetic background and overall well-being. The NIH Common Fund’s Nutrition for Precision Health supports the development of algorithms to predict individual responses to food and dietary patterns by contributing and leveraging data from the All of Us Research Program. This challenging project requires collaborations between experts in nutrition, genetics, statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence. This symposium will highlight some of the ongoing efforts at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging and Tufts Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and highlight opportunities for collaborations in this exciting program.

Clinical Research Staff Quarterly Training Q4 2023: “Getting Ready to Enroll: A Deep Dive into Study Start-Up Processes”
Dec 07 , 2023

Join Tufts CTSI on Zoom on Thursday, December 7 at 1:00PM to review the newly revised Study Start-up Toolkit and take a deeper dive into two critical study start-up processes: feasibility questionnaires and site activation checklists.

This training will review the newly revised Study Start-up Toolkit and take a deeper dive into two critical study startup processes: feasibility questionnaires and site activation checklists. You will learn how the Toolkit can serve as a valuable reference for study startup. You will also learn strategies for completing feasibility questionnaires, including how to negotiate with sponsors on information requested.

Finally, this session will cover the differences between sponsor and local site activation checklists and how to manage your timelines for completing both so that your study is ready to enroll.

Who Should Attend?

All clinical research coordinators from Tufts Medicine are invited to attend!

Goals

During this session, you will:

  • Navigate the Study Start-up Toolkit resource.
  • Describe at least three best practices for completing sponsor feasibility questionnaires.
  • Differentiate between sponsor-provided and Tufts Medical Center site activation checklists.
  • Describe strategies and timelines for completing the site activation checklists.
