  4. MICHR ClinicalTrials.gov Support Services Review

    March 12, 2024 - 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET

    Did you know that PIs are advised to use clinicaltrials.gov for all randomized controlled trials even if they are not federally-funded or have no sponsored funding?

    The Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) offers clinicaltrials.gov support services, including study registration and record update reminders, to study teams working on investigator-initiated clinical trials in the U-M Medical School. Currently, MICHR is conducting a pilot to offer clinicaltrials.gov registration services to newly approved non medical school studies. 

    This could be a huge help to you and your research.

    Join us for a presentation that will cover ORCR's study start-up consultation service and provide a refresher on clinicaltrials.gov. The Office of Research Compliance Review (ORCR) is responsible for monitoring compliance with clinicaltrials.gov requirements for studies that are conducted outside the U-M Medical School.

  10. Community Conversation: Combating Weight Stigma

    March 14, 2024 - 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET

    Human bodies we know to be size-diverse, yet sizeism pervades and persists. How does weight stigma and body image impact our relationship to ourselves and others?  How might it impact those we serve, and even the colleagues around us? What is our role in influencing culture change? This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear!  If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)

    About the format: With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
