SUMMARY:Informational Webinar: Request for Applications for IMPACT Demonstration Project Program Cycle 2
DESCRIPTION:New Funding Opportunity: Request for Applications for IMPACT Demonstration Project Program\n\n\nThe IMPACT Collaboratory is pleased to announce a Request for Applications (RFA) for the second cycle of the Demonstration Project Program. \nIMPACT will fund up to two Demonstration Projects (maximum duration 24 months) designed as full-scale\, Stage IV effectiveness embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCT) (based on the NIH Stage Model) that test\, measure and evaluate the effect of a non-pharmacological care delivery intervention program in a health care system for people living with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) and their care partners.  The goal of the Demonstration Project is to generate evidence on effective care delivery practices that can be expanded and/or implemented in other systems. \nUnder this mechanism\, interventions must be linked to the needs of the health care system.  Suitable interventions typically encompass relatively simple system changes or direct patient outreach\, or successfully piloted programs ready for testing at scale.

SUMMARY:Request for Applications (RFA) Release: Demonstration Project Program
DESCRIPTION:New Funding Opportunity for the IMPACT Demonstration Project Program\n\n\nThe IMPACT Collaboratory is pleased to announce a Request for Applications (RFA) for the second cycle of the Demonstration Project Program. \nIMPACT will fund up to two Demonstration Projects (maximum duration 24 months) designed as full-scale\, Stage IV effectiveness embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCT) (based on the NIH Stage Model) that test\, measure and evaluate the effect of a non-pharmacological care delivery intervention program in a health care system for people living with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) and their care partners.  The goal of the Demonstration Project is to generate evidence on effective care delivery practices that can be expanded and/or implemented in other systems. \nUnder this mechanism\, interventions must be linked to the needs of the health care system.  Suitable interventions typically encompass relatively simple system changes or direct patient outreach\, or successfully piloted programs ready for testing at scale. Demonstration Projects will allow health care systems and investigators to gain real-world experience integrating pragmatic non-pharmacological interventions into usual clinical workflow and health care delivery practices in a controlled manner that provides clear information on the impact of the intervention program. \nThe IMPACT Collaboratory will only fund Demonstration Project applications that include a clinical trial as defined by the National Institutes of Health.  Preference will be given to applications that address dementia care for populations historically marginalized or underrepresented in clinical trials and those that promote health equity. \nIt is anticipated that Demonstration Project awards will be for up to $500\,000 in direct costs for a maximum of 24-months and will be non-renewable. \nLearn more about the Demonstration Projects Program here. \nInformational Webinar \nAn optional informational webinar will be hosted to provide investigators with an overview of application details and an opportunity to ask questions. Pre-registration is required using the link below. \nTuesday\, October 19\, 2021 at 1:00 pm ET: Registration closed. \nLetters of Intent (LOI) by Email – Required\nInterested applicants are required to submit an LOI.

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:ISAC/Brown Clinical Trials Seminar - "IMPACT-C: Improving Vaccine Uptake in Skilled Nursing Facilities" - Sarah Berry\, MD\, MPH
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture from the Joint Seminar Series on Clinical Trials in Aging: Strategies to Improve Nursing Home COVID-19\nVaccine Uptake featuring Sarah Berry\, MD\, MPH\, Harvard Medical School & Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research. \nNursing homes residents represent about 1% of the US population but\, at the height of the pandemic\, contributed about 5% of cases and nearly 40% of deaths. Residents and staff were prioritized for vaccination\, but staff uptake\, in particular\, has remained low. \nDr. Berry will present on strategies to improve COVID-19 vaccine uptake\, including data from IMPACT Collaboratory observational  studies and a pragmatic trial. \nThe Joint Seminar Series on Clinical Trials in Aging is co-hosted by the Interventional Studies in Aging Center (ISAC) in the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research at Hebrew SeniorLife and the Brown University Center for Long-Term Care Quality & Innovation (Q&I). Lectures focus on issues in the design and execution of clinical trials\, including trials currently in the field. \nThursday\, May 27\, 2021\n12:00 – 1:00 pm ET \nZoom Details: \nJoin from PC\, Mac\, Linux\, iOS or Android: https://hebrewseniorlife.zoom.us/j/89039784165\nOr iPhone one-tap (US Toll):  +14702509358\,\,89039784165#  or +14703812552\,\,89039784165#\nDial-In: +1 470 250 9358 (US Toll) or  +1 669 900 6833 (US Toll)\nMeeting ID: 890 3978 4165
