SUMMARY:ISCB 2021 (Registration Closed): 42ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR CLINICAL BIOSTATISTICS - "Sample size calculation for stepped wedge cluster randomized trials with multiple levels of clustering"
DESCRIPTION:15:15-16:45 (9:15 am ET) Session OC4B: Cluster randomized trials\n\nCHAIR: Andrew Copas\n\n\n\n\n9:15 ET\nKendra Davis-Plourde\, Monica Taljaard and Fan Li \nSample size calculation for stepped wedge cluster randomized trials with multiple levels of clustering\n\nABSTRACT. The stepped wedge cluster randomized trial is an attractive design for evaluating health services delivery or policy interventions. In this design\, clusters start in the control condition and gradually cross over to the treatment based on a schedule dictated by random assignment. Outcomes may be assessed on the same individuals over time (i.e.\, a cohort design) or different individuals (i.e.\, a cross-sectional design). A key consideration in this design is that sample size calculation and analysis must account for within-period as well as between-period intracluster correlations; cohort designs have additional correlations due to repeated measures on the same individuals. While numerous methods have been developed to account for within- and between-period intracluster correlations with a single level of clustering during each time period\, few methods are available to accommodate multiple levels of clustering. Our objectives were to develop computationally-efficient sample size procedures that recognize within-period and between-period intracluster correlations in stepped wedge trials with more than two levels of clustering. Focusing on three levels of clustering and assuming equal cluster-period sizes\, we consider three variants\, depending on whether each level is treated as a cross-sectional or closed-cohort design. We introduce an extended block exchangeable matrix to characterize the correlation structures both within- and between-clusters in each cluster-period and develop convenient sample size expressions that depend on this correlation structure. With a continuous outcome\, we show the sample size expression depends on the correlation structure only through two eigenvalues of the extended block exchangeable matrix. For binary outcomes under a mixed effects framework\, we develop a sample size expression based on a first-order Taylor approximation. We conduct simulation studies to examine the finite-sample properties of the proposed sample size algorithms and demonstrate the application of the proposed methods using the Washington State Expedited Partner Therapy trial: a multilevel stepped wedge trial that randomized local health jurisdictions (level 4) consisting of clinics (level 3) and observed patients (level 2) with respect to their Chlamydia infection status (level 1). \n\nMore event details: http://www.iscb2021.info/en/pages/iscb-2021-home

SUMMARY:Virtual Forum: Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity (AIM-AHEAD)
DESCRIPTION:The Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity (AIM-AHEAD) virtual forum will occur on Friday\, June 25th (1:00-4:00 PM EDT). This virtual forum aims to bring together stakeholders across academia\, federal agencies\, the data science/tech industry\, and health care systems and centers who are interested in leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) for research\, with a primary focus on mitigating health disparities.  The purpose of this meeting will be to provide an overview of the initiative approved for funding by NIH and then engage attendees in listening sessions via breakout groups which will focused on three main topics: research interests\, computing infrastructure and resources\, and training needs. The meeting will conclude with a report back from these smaller breakout discussions and a final summary of the forum discussion and anticipated next steps.  The feedback from this event will inform the establishment of mutually beneficial and  coordinated partnerships to increase the participation and representation of researchers and communities currently underrepresented in the development of AI/ML models and enhance the capabilities of this emerging technology\, beginning with EHR data.  \n  \nRegistration Closed: Due to the enthusiastic response\, the AIM-AHEAD Team have reached the participation limit to ensure meaningful conversation\, so they have closed registration.  Over the next several weeks\, they will have additional opportunities for people to provide feedback and ask questions\, including a formal Request for Information (RFI) to gather written comments.  They will also post a meeting summary of this stakeholder forum. If you have any questions about this event\, please contact AIM-AHEAD@od.nih.gov.

SUMMARY:Advancing Research on Care and Outcome Measurements (ARCOM) funding program Letters of Intent due
DESCRIPTION:In  collaboration with LINC-AD (Leveraging an Interdisciplinary Consortium to Improve Care and Outcomes for Persons Living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia)\, the Alzheimer’s Association is currently accepting applications for the new Advancing Research on Care and Outcome Measurements (ARCOM) funding program.  The goal of the program is to address gaps in care and outcome measurement and advance research efforts to ensure that care providers are implementing evidence-based practices (using measures to guide care provision) and achieving desired outcomes (using measures to assess outcomes).  Work funded through ARCOM must directly advance research projects focused on development of new and/or validation of previously developed measures of care and outcomes where measurement gaps exist. \nThe Alzheimer’s Association anticipates funding up to 8 ACROM proposals for up to  $250\,000 total funding (direct and indirect costs) over a period of up to two years (minimum of 1 year). \nRead the full RFA here. A letter of intent is due by May 5.  \nTo learn more about this funding opportunity\, visit their website.
