How to Bring an IVD to Market Globally

This short course is aimed at those working to develop products in a global regulatory environment. The design process for IVD is similar across different geographical regions. However, the way in which data is formatted, reviewed, and approved varies. This course will walk the audience through each step of the design process and examine how this data can be used to compile submissions to meet local and regional regulatory frameworks.

SABER West Conference

SABER West is geared toward STEM educators and education researchers with meeting goals including increasing interactions among STEM educators and education researchers, fostering collaborations between 2-year and 4-year institutions, and providing professional development to conduct education research and implement evidence-based teaching practices.

Building Convergence Science into Your Next Grant Proposal & Collaboration Virtual Workshop

The workshop will be led the by the Team Scholarship Accelerator Lab, facilitated by team science and virtual collaboration experts Judith Olson, Dan Stokols, Maritza Salazar Campo, and Gary Olson. This is an interactive online workshop in which investigators will gain insight into drafting a proposal that builds upon principles of convergence science.

CRC Luncheon

The ICTS will be partnering with The Office of Research to host an upcoming virtual CRC Luncheon via Zoom, led by Carmen Thompson, Senior Account Manager at WCG-Western IRB, focusing on training of the new WCG IRB Connexus submission portal.

Lunchtime Lectures: COVID-19 and our Campus

Lunchtime Lectures are 30 minute episodes featuring faculty members sharing their work/research in an “easy to digest” manner. Join us to hear from David Souleles, Director, UCI COVID-19 Response Team.

The Design and Monitoring of Group Sequential Clinical Trials

This course provides an introduction to the methodology for the design, monitoring and analysis of group sequential trials. Methodology will be presented using case studies and examples of clinical trials with continuous, binary, and survival endpoints. The sequential methods will be illustrated using RCTdesign, an R module for the design, monitoring, and analysis of clinical trials. Emphasis will be placed on both the scientific and statistical impact of group sequential trial design.

Lecture 1: The Physician-Scientist as a Career: Requirements and Expectations

The road to anticipating, preparing and negotiating this challenging but rewarding career will be outlined and discussed in detail. The fascinating 50+ year history of the concept of integrating science and medicine will be concisely presented. Alternative approaches to the well-characterized and standard (but successful) Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) will be discussed. The opportunities for other non-MD scientists who function as "physician scientists" will also be briefly summarized.

Stata Lunchtime Series: Survival Analysis 1/2

SA 1: Introduce concepts and jargon of survival analysis including time-to-event data, different kinds of censoring, as well as graphical, nonparametric, semi-parametric, and parametric methods for modeling survival data. SA 2: Advanced topics such as Cox regression with categorical and continuous time-varying covariates, shared-frailty models, multilevel parametric survival analysis, survival analysis in the context of structural equation models (SEM), and competing risks regression are discussed.

Lunchtime Lectures: Healthy Holiday Travel

Lunchtime Lectures are 30 minute episodes featuring faculty members sharing their work/research in an “easy to digest” manner. Join us to hear from Dr. Bernadette Boden-Albala, Director & Founding Dean, Program in Public Health.

Conversations for Change: On Improving the Racial Climate at UCI

This virtual event will be the first in a series to progressively empower participants to engage in difficult dialogue on racial justice and related topics. This first event will provide some background information and tools for participants to utilize when they engage in future discussions. We encourage individuals to submit questions in advance for panelists to address during the event. Please use this form to anonymously share any questions or concerns you have that prevent you from engaging in or fully participating in such dialogue.

Health Disparities and COVID-19 Across the Life Span: Biological and Social Determinants of Health

The Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute Center for Life Course and Vulnerable Population Research invites you to participate in a health disparities and COVID-19 symposium.

Archiving and Publishing Your Data with Dryad

Dryad is an open data publishing platform that allows UC Irvine researchers to archive and publish their data for free. Join the workshop to learn how to use Dryad to share research data for re-use and to meet journal and funder data accessibility requirements. The workshop will also cover how to prepare data and documentation for archiving and to enable research reproducibility.
