The mission of the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research is to advance discoveries, knowledge, and innovation to improve human health across the lifespan for diverse populations in upper Manhattan and around the world. By mobilizing and connecting Columbia University’s researchers, we aim to create a seamless integration of community and academic partnerships. Our commitment to train a multi-faceted workforce, provide vital resources to researchers, and improve the efficiency of research processes, promotes the collaborative team science framework needed to translate research discoveries into effective interventions that address current and future health concerns.
We provide over 70 different services and programs focused on education and training, seed funding, bioinformatics, biostatistics, clinical research, lifespan research and special populations, regulatory knowledge and bioethics, an off-site community facility and health informatics websites. 
-University Of Massachusetts Med Sch WorcesterPresented by Germán Chiriboga, MPH, this webinar will provide an overview of the process and application of storytelling as a tool to increase awareness about research participation among underrepresented populations. Our process includes adaptations of communications models as well as the health belief model. We combine video production with qualitative analysis to increase objectivity in
October 12, 2021In 2017, Jeffrey Bazarian, M.D., M.P.H., a concussion researcher at the University of Rochester Medical Center, wanted to pull together a national network of concussion clinics to run multi-site clinical trials. He turned to the University of Rochester Clinical and Translational Science Institute (UR CTSI) and Trial Innovation Network (TIN) for help and ended up connecting with a group already
January 11, 2021Taking Multi-Site Clinical Trials to the Next Level What Is TIN? TIN is the Trial Innovation Network, which streamlines clinical trials and harnesses the collective power of NCATS-funded institutions. As NCATS explains, TIN creates a “national network that focuses on operational innovation, excellence and collaboration and will leverage the expertise and resources of the CTSA Program.” Of the 62

Researchers planning COVID-19 trials with the Trial Innovation Network (TIN) can leverage the N3C to inform their research hypotheses. N3C focuses on aligning its infrastructure so that it can generate efficient and minimally biased results. Part of that infrastructure includes the curation of value sets and phenotype variables relevant to COVID-19, such as ventilator support, ICU use, and

May 18, 2020More than 400 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have been registered on clinicaltrials.gov, many are meant to answer similar questions but lack any method to combine data and evidence. By aggregating evidence across these trials, we can learn about interventions for COVID-19 as quickly and reliably as possible. The COVID-19 Collaboration Platform brings disparate research teams working on the same

I will overview methods for validation of surrogate endpoints, and apply these methods for clinical trials of chronic kidney disease. I’ll then show how models that relate treatment effects on clinical endpoints to treatment effects on surrogate endpoints based on past clinical trials can be applied to improve the design and interpretation of newly conducted clinical trials which measure surrogate
