What is a Domain Task Force?

The CTSA Consortium has restructured its organizational, operational and communication structure to be more strategic and project driven, rather than committee driven. The reorganization has resulted in five Domain Task Forces (DTFs) which are aligned with the goals and priorities of the NCATS Advisory Council Working Group, NCATS, and NIH. 

The DTFs will:
  • provide direction for CTSA projects
  • focus on short and long term needs to advance translational research
  • provide structure for high priority issues
  • support an inclusive and transparent process where CTSA Hubs can participate and have access to information
  • foster communication and collaboration at all levels
  • define objectives, timelines, and deliverables for every activity 
The first task force is focused on Collaboration/Engagement . The main objective of this DTF is to make sure stakeholders are engaged in collaborations to advance translation. Next, there is an Informatics DTF which aims to support researchers in their use of modern informatics methodologies and techniques in their clinical and translational research. The Integration Across the Lifespan Domain Task Force is focused on the integration of multiple phases and disciplines across the lifespan of a translational study.  The DTF, Methods/Processes , is aimed more towards how translational research works. The Methods/Processes Domain Task Force will be studying how translational research is conducted and will develop ways to improve the process. The final DTF, Workforce Development , will advance translational discoveries by promoting translational research as a field.

New Demonstration Grant Will Address Tobacco Disparities

PRCHN Associate Director Erika Trapl, PhD
"Associate Director Erika Trapl, PhD, is the principal investigator on a one-year tobacco disparities demonstration grant from the Ohio Department of Health. One of the unique aspects of the grant is that it extends work in which the PRCHN is currently engaged as a partner of the Health Improvement Partnership-Cuyahoga (HIP-Cuyahoga) and Healthy Cleveland. Building on the Resident Team model developed by HIP-C, the Tobacco Disparities Project will utilize a multi-level approach to tobacco prevention and cessation. These strategies will be underpinned by a culturally informed media messaging campaign to raise awareness of dangers of tobacco, particularly cigar products, and encourage smoking cessation."



Apply Now for a Summer Internship with the PRCHN!

The PRCHN Internship Program aims to give student interns the experience to pursue a career in public health through developing core public health practice skills. Each intern will work specifically on one project covering a current health problem during their internship. They will also get to experience an overview of the research and methods used by the center. Each intern will participate in approximately 120 hours of work during their internship.

Additionally, there are a limited number of paid internships available which are specifically tied to one project and which may require more hours.

Urbanhealth News from the Urban Health Initiative
Urban Health Initiative News
 
Register now for CTRL+ALT+CLE, Cleveland's version of the Open Data Day events going on across the country.
 

The Urban Health Initiative is involved with three sessions on March 2:
 
At 9:00 am, Health Data Matters co-Director, Dr. Scott Frank will lead Data Visualization 101.  Participants will have the opportunity to create compelling, interactive infographics, stories and maps with data on health determinants and outcomes for Cleveland and Cuyahoga County neighborhoods. 
 
At 11:30 am, Urban Health Initiative Executive Director Amy Sheon will lead a panel discussion on the relationship between digital inclusion and health equity.  The session will feature School of Medicine faculty member Adam Perzynski, Samantha Schartmant from Connect Your Community, and Leon Wilson, Chief of Digital Innovation for the Cleveland Foundation.
 
At 1:30 pm, Amy Sheon and Becky Gawelek from the Cuyahoga County Board of Health will lead a hands on workshop to help participants explore the contributions of social determinants of health to health disparities.  Participants will use the Health Data Matters Live Stories platform, the CDC's 500 Cities Project and the Federal Communication Commission's Mapping Broadband Health platform.
 
Data Days continues on March 3, with a Keynote address at the City Club by Aneesh Chopra, the nation's first Chief Technology Officer, and concludes with an "un/conference" Saturday.  That day, participants will shape the sessions based on responses to brief "lightening talks" given by invited speakers.  Amy Sheon and Scott Frank will give a lightening talk related to open data for health.
 
The complete schedule for Data Days can be found here:  http://datadayscle.org/2017/schedule-2/
 
Finally,  Health Data Matters has integrated a very significant new resource into both of its platforms (HealthDataMatters.org and HDM.LiveStories.com): census-tract level estimates for chronic disease risk factors, health outcomes and clinical preventive service use in Cleveland.  By combining this informaiton with data on the social determinants of health already on our site, visitors have very powerful new tools for understanding and addressing health disparities.
 
Some illustrations follow:
 
Obesity Prevalence Among Adults Aged 18+ Years in Cleveland and the United States. 

And then look at the association between obesity prevalence and diabetes prevalence by census tract, and the prevalence of multiple adverse health outcomes by census tract:


We look forward to helping you use this data to benefit your own research and teaching!

Research Research Highlights
Prostate Cancer Research Uses Team Science to Find New Identification Process

Anant Madabhushi and collaborators have identified a new method of recognizing prostate cancer. The team used MRI to study 70 individuals, and noticed a pattern of shape in their images. MRI scanners differ in pixel intensity between models which can cause discrepencies when diagnosing prostate cancer by other methods. However, the shape of the prostate stays constant between machines, making it a more reliable biomarker for prostate cancer. For better reliablility, t he method would be combined with a complimenting test to assign a cancerous label to tissues.  The information used in the research came from 5 institutions located around the world,  and consistently  showed differences between cancerous and non-cancerous tissues. 

The lead researcher on the project is Anant Madabhushi, who was awarded a CTSC Annual Pilot award and has written many papers on biomedical improvements in identifying prostate cancer. Vikas Gulani, a former KL2 Scholar, is additionally listed as a collaborator and author on this paper. 

CWRU Researchers Receive $2 Million NIH Grant for Sickle Cell Anemia Testing Device

Project Leader Umut Gurkan
CWRU researchers received a $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health fordevelopment and testing of a blood adhesion monitor for sickle cell patients. The monitor is being developed with the intention for at home use with the hope that it will be similar to insulin monitors, both in size and usefulness, in the patients management of the disease. 

The need for a device of this nature comes from the random crises an individual with sickle cell anemia can face. Having a monitoring device may allow them to know when they are in danger of having a crises. This gives them time to receive treatment to prevent the crises, ultimately lowering the amount of longer hospitals stays and reducing the patients' stress and suffering. 

The exact mechanics of the device have not yet been finalized as some of the mechanisms of sickle cell disease are still unknown. Researchers hope to understand these mechanisms and how they relate to the device before clinical trials begin in one year at University Hospitals and Rainbow Babies.

Umut Gurkan, associate professor of hematology and oncology at Case Western Reserve University, is the project leader for this research. In 2014, Gurkan received an annual pilot award from the CTSC for research on a device for early detection of sickle cell disease in newborns.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - Health Policy and Law Research
Letter of Intent Due: March 10, 2017

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has issued a Call for Proposals for research projects that can help build an evidence base for policies that lead to a Culture of Health.

Through its Policies for Action: Policy and Law Research to Build a Culture of Health program, the foundation seeks to engage longstanding health and healthcare researchers, as well as experts in fields such as housing, education, transportation, and the built environment who have not worked in health before. The goal is to develop research that generates actionable evidence - data and information - that can guide legislators and other policy makers, public agencies, educators, advocates, community groups, and individuals in shaping health policy.

The research may examine established laws, regulations, and policies, as well as potential new policies and approaches, and should inform significant gaps in knowledge with respect to which policies can serve as levers to improve population health and well-being and achieve greater levels of health equity.

Preference will be given to innovative research that evaluates and addresses actionable policies focused on early childhood, or that have lifelong, even multigenerational benefits; are preventive rather than remedial; advance a community's own priorities; highlight collaboration between the public and private sectors, or innovations within the private sector; address people or places or systems that have been traditionally underserved or unattended; foster stability and continuity at the neighborhood, community, state, and/or federal levels; transform or bridge major service systems, such as between healthcare and public health systems, or other systems that influence health in communities, such as social services or education; and/or influence values and beliefs integral to a Culture of Health.

Applicants must be a public entity or nonprofit organizations that is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and be based in the United States. Applications are welcome from interdisciplinary or cross-sectoral research teams; investigators from a variety of areas and disciplines, including but not limited to architecture, business, community planning, data scientists, economics, epidemiology, health policy, medicine, public health, social work, sociology; and urban planning and system engineers.

NSF: Advanced Biomanufacturing of Therapeutic Cells
Application Deadline: April 17, 2017

In recent years, somatic cells as therapeutic agents have provided new treatment approaches for a number of pathological conditions that were deemed untreatable, or difficult to treat. Several successful cell therapies using T cells have been demonstrated for cancer and autoimmune diseases, while stem cell therapies have given relief for heart disease and stroke. Hundreds of clinical trials are ongoing to examine efficacy of cell therapies for a variety of other diseases including diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Crohn's disease. Production of therapeutic cells is currently expensive and, therefore, cost prohibitive for the large number of people who might benefit from these treatments. The overarching goal of this Advanced Biomanufacturing of Therapeutic Cells (ABTC) solicitation is to catalyze well-integrated interdisciplinary research to understand, design, and control cell manufacturing systems and processes that will enable reproducible, cost-effective, and high-quality production of cells with predictable performance for the identified therapeutic function.
