In 2017, NIH hosted its first Inclusion Across the Lifespan (IAL) workshop to examine the science of including various and diverse populations in clinical studies, particularly children and older adults, who have very specific and unique issues that must be examined as we study new health interventions. 

We hope you can join us online on Sept. 2 for an important follow-up event, the Inclusion Across the Lifespan-II (IAL-II) workshop. IAL-II will provide a new, crucial opportunity to share evidence-based practical advice and lessons learned regarding the inclusion of children and older adults in clinical studies. 


Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis Entrepreneurship for Biomedical Researchers Training Program  is recruiting for the fall program of their NIH-funded Entrepreneurship for Biomedicine (E4B) training program. Free and fully online, this program is designed for pre- and post-graduate biomedical research trainees and junior faculty across the country interested in acquiring I&E skills. Apply while time and space permit!


At The Ohio State University, the CCTS and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we’re continually monitoring and updating our response to the COVID-19 virus.

We continue to align our recommendations with and follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and other city, state and federal agencies.

To that end, the Office of Research at the Ohio State University and the National Institutes of Health have both released guidance related to research during the COVID-19 outbreak.


StudySearch   was created to enhance visibility and participation in research studies conducted throughout OSU and NCH. With approximately 30,000 site visits in the past year, it provides an easy way for potential study participants to find basic, descriptive information about openly recruiting research studies and trials and provides them with contact information to learn more.
 
Researchers with an IRB approved study that are currently seeking volunteers can follow these directions   to  submit a study   within StudySearch to ensure their study is listed on StudySearch. No additional IRB oversight is necessary to list your study.
