Guidance for Research During COVID-19
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.

CLIC and CTSA Program Response to COVID-19
In response to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC) and the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program have created several communication venues for researchers/investigators to share information and identify potential research collaborations focused on COVID-19.
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and CLIC are developing resources to facilitate discussions around COVID-19. The
CTSA Program and Response to COVID-19 Discussion Forum
has been launched for researchers to discuss and identify efforts to manage the outbreak.

Veterinary Clinical Trials
Do you want to meet an overachiever pup?
This is Penny, she participated in not one, but two clinical trials for bone cancer!
One of the trials is in collaboration with Nationwide Children's Hospital, where they are evaluating circulating tumor cells with the goal of developing new therapies in dogs and children.
Penny also participated in a trial assessing the gastrointestinal effects of chemotherapy, with the goal of improving management strategies, reducing the frequency of complications and improve patient quality of life.
Go Penny! Thanks for helping other dogs and kids in the fight against cancer!

Tools of the Trade: Hidden Populations
Bringing Everyone to Research
|
|
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) increasingly emphasizes the need for research studies to be broadly inclusive of all types of people in the population. For example, their newest policy statement is around Inclusion Across the Lifespan (NOT-OD-20-044).
Why is this policy important and how do you accomplish it in your research? Those questions will be the focus of conversation at this program, Hidden Populations: Bringing Everyone to Research.
In this program you will hear from researchers and representatives of these "hidden populations" to learn how you can design more inclusive research studies and how your research can benefit from such inclusiveness.
Audience: Junior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.
This event will be virtual via ZOOM.
When:
April 28th, 2020 1 PM to 4:30 PM
