עמיתים יקרים, Fall has finally arrived and brought with it much needed cooler temperatures. As we head into the final quarter of the year it’s time to start planning your research projects for 2022. New funding opportunities can now be found online at https://hsc.unm.edu/research/news/funding-opps.html. Our Community Health Network unit has collaborated with Dr. Carla Wilhite to help promote her data focused study about the effects of COVID-19 on New Mexicans with an emphasis on rural individuals. In addition to soon publishing her finding, Dr. Wilhite has been sharing the results with rural communities throughout the state, “bringing the data back”. The Community Engagement Research Core (CERC) is currently supporting Dr. Kate Meriwether, in her CTSC pilot study “Evaluation of a Centering-Based Group Treatment Visits (CBGT) in the treatment of women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (ICBPS): A parallel, prospective cohort study.” The study is examining the effectiveness of CBGT in the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (ICBPS). The CERC team has completed interviews and focus groups for the study as well as a qualitative analysis and summary of the results. In coordination with the Participation Clinical Interactions (PCI) team, Dr. J. Pedro Teixeira, has begun a new trial “A phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Remdesivir in Participants with Severely Reduced Kidney Function who are Hospitalized for COVID-19”. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible benefits of remdesivir in COVID-19 patients with compromised kidney function. Exciting news, former KL2 scholar Brandi Fink, PhD, has been chosen to present at The Western CTSA Education Consortium to share how they successfully transitioned into an independent researcher. The KL2 Scholars Program is now looking for two new junior faculty members for their Mentored Career Development (KL2) Scholar Program at the Assistant Professor level on either a tenure- or flex-track beginning in the Spring of 2022. Successful candidates will have 75% of their effort committed to their research, and 25% committed to other duties. If your looking to start-up or expand your research career I encourage you to apply. Every part of the CTSC is integral to our purpose and funding, and we aim to update each section of the CTSC newsletter monthly. Each PI has a personal, professional investment in the information we provide. Please submit that information to our team. The CTSC is here for your support. The dedicated faculty, staff, and students at CTSC continue their research projects and look for innovative ways to support our communities. If you are interested in a rigorous quantitative rural research project focused on COVID-19, please contact me (RLarson@salud.unm.edu) to start a dialogue. Masks are now required indoors for all individuals at the HSC. Stay abreast of the current policies by exploring the University’s Bring Back the Pack COVID-19 guidance: https://bringbackthepack.unm.edu The Health Sciences Center Office of Research website contains information on specific research-related updates (including the Research Continuity Guidelines for both מעבדות ומתקני מחקר ו סגל וצוות מחקר קליני) וניתן לגשת אליו דרך הקישור הבא: https://hsc.unm.edu/research/. All standard CTSC services are available. We encourage PIs to reach out to our Research Concierge (HSC-CTSCResearchConcierge@salud.unm.edu) with questions and/or to setup a consultation with the CTSC team. If you have any questions about our assets and services, please contact the CTSC Research Concierge at HSC-CTSCResearchConcierge@salud.unm.edu.
