In this first biostatistics seminar, Dr. Din Chen discusses Integrative Data harmonization with Bayesian Modeling In Evidence-Based Health Intervention Research. The seminar demonstrates data synthesis with Bayesian modeling, which has the potential to produce more efficient and more powerful statistical analysis through the incorporation of prior information with data likelihood into a posterior distribution.

In the second biostatistics seminar in the series, Dr. Yunro Chung shares an insightful analysis of ASU's COVID-19 serological data. This includes data from self-reported vaccination and COVID results, antibody trend analysis, and more.

In the third biostatistics seminar in the series, Jeffrey Wilson, will discuss "Are your observations really independent?" Dr. Wilson is a Professor of Statistics and Biostatistics at W.P. Carey School of Business. 

In this Grant Writing Workshop, Nancy Osgood from the Research Advancement team covers all areas relating to preparation for writing a grant proposal.  This includes resources for finding funding opportunities and pitching your ideas.  It walks you through how to work with your RA in the proposal development phases.  Lastly, there is a thorough review of budget categories and development.

In this Grant Writing Workshop, our seasoned successful grant writers Shelley Gray and Matt Buman cover the topics of Specific Aims and Innovation.  These NIH grant proposal sections are often times the things that can make or break a successful proposal submission.  Drs. Gray and Buman share tips and tricks, along with real life examples of the good and the bad when it comes to these important sections.

In this grant writing seminar in the series, Drs. Punam Ohri-Vachaspati and Raminta Daniulaityte provide tools and resources regarding the Approach portion of writing for NIH grants.

While often classified as an “alternative payment model”, the concept of the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) as a blueprint to transform primary care was first introduced in 1967. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) identifies the PCMH as primary care practices incorporating five broad principles of care: comprehensive, team-based, coordinated, accessible, and evidence-based.  Finding new ways to recognize and reward the hard work and financial investment to make meaningful change that improves patient outcomes and health equity, and even reduce costs for diverse patient populations with enormous variations in health status is a critical challenge.  Although over 1500 papers in PubMed use the term “PCMH”, Dr. Domino challenges us (Links to an external site.) as a research community to recognize the untapped promise of primary care and to better understand, measure, and reward its components i.e., “secret sauce” that allows this foundational care transformation to succeed.

Health Current is Arizona’s health information exchange (HIE) organization, bringing together communities and information across our state. Since 2007, Health Current has been Arizona’s primary resource for information technology and exchange, integrating information with the delivery of care to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. Hear how HIE facilitation of access to COVID-19, Social Determinants of Health, justice, behavioral health, advance directives, and other electronic health data has and is transforming care and care delivery AND how you can be part of this transformation! 

The concept of a learning health system (LHS) (Links to an external site.) was first put forth by the National Academy of Medicine (then IOM) in 2007.  The LHS uses the data generated in the care of patients to create knowledge that is used to improve the care of future patients. Reload and repeat.  An LHS can be a single medical practice or a national level system such as the Veterans Health Administration.  An LHS thrives on data interoperability, accelerated by the standards of the 21st Century Cures Act. The seminar will include an LHS case study about patients undergoing  heart valve replacement with a new device.
