11Informatics at first 12 CTSA sitesMJBs
Impression (disclaimer!!!)
- All Twelve CTSA sites have a component of
Research IT support - Includes implementation, enhancement, support of
existing systems - Pathology Informatics is grossly
under-represented (except maybe in Tissue Banking
Informatics) - Punch line every program in CTSA (as a
requirement for funding) has to have a training
program in clinical research and have a
biomedical informatics core!!!
12CTSA Training Programs
- CTSA has (by requirement) training programs (K
and T programs of NIH) and clinical and
translational research centers (CTRCs, formerly
GCRCs) - K Programs (for junior faculty)
- Career Development and Mentorship Programs
- Clinical Research Scholars Program
- Focus is to take MDs and train them in clinical
research - Pathology is not taking advantage of this major
opportunity - T Programs (for residents and fellows)
- Clinical Research Training Program
- Certificate program (1 yr) available at most
institutions - Designed for trainees clinical translational
research fellowship - Pathology is not taking advantage of this major
opportunity

16NLM Training Programs
- Focused on 3 types of training
- PhD major focus
- MS major focus
- Certificates (one year generally) excellent for
Pathology Informatics trainees - Great for informatics networking even if your
program is stand alone - Short term training opportunities also available
summer, 3 month rotation - Major demand see 10x10 program

The K25 award will provide support and protected
time for a period of supervised study and
research for productive professionals with
quantitative (e.g., mathematics, statistics,
economics, computer science, imaging science,
informatics, physics, chemistry) and engineering
backgrounds to integrate their expertise with
NIH-relevant research. Requires mentor Requires
training plan Requires research plan

19CAP Foundation
- Scholars Research Program sponsored by CAP and
SeraconAward Amount Up to 12,500 for six
months Up to 25,000 for one year - Intended for salary support. Recipients
institution is expected to contribute benefits
and overhead costs and may provide a support
supplement. Assurance must be given that
facilities and direct support sufficient for the
work proposed by the applicant will be provided
throughout the term of the grant. - This award is made to the scholar, not the
institution. It may, with cause, be terminated at
any time. Recipients who choose not to accept the
award may list the recognition on their
curriculum vitae. - Purpose The purpose of the award is to help
facilitate the transition from residency to an
independent investigator. Therefore, persons who
have already been awarded major research support
for the previous academic year will not be
eligible. - Time Commitment Projects must be completed
within one (1) year. For those who are in a
second year fellowship, the project must be
completed within three (3) years after completing
residency. Applicants must plan to spend their
fellowship year in basic or applied research, and
are expected to work full-time as defined in
their project plan. - Eligibility Residents at the PGY 2 level, and up
to those doing a second year fellowship.
Residents who are more than three years
post-residency training are not eligible.
Applicants must be a CAP Member or have an
application pending. - http//www.cap.org/apps/cap.portal?_nfpbtrue_pag

20CAP Foundation
- Advanced Training in Pathology Informatics -
Sponsored by McKesson - Award Amount Allowance provided for travel and
living expenses. It is expected that the
recipients own institution will continue to
provide for salary and benefits during the award
period. - Purpose To offer background and experience to
pathology residents to introduce and implement
advanced informatics technology in the clinical
laboratory. After the rotation, the resident will
be able to - Identify the following factors important in
introducing and utilizing new information
technology in the clinical laboratory - Medical decision support systems and artificial
intelligence - Electronic medical record
- Digital multimedia and imaging applications
- Telepathology and telemedicine
- Outcomes research and data mining
- Process control, quality control, and quality
assurance - Demonstrate ability to recognize and utilize
information concerning new trends and technology
in pathology. - Commitment Four (4) weeks, must be completed
between 5/1/09 8/31/09. - Eligibility Pathology residents or those in
fellowships. It is a requirement that candidates
have adequate training and experience in
informatics. Applicants must be a CAP Junior
Member.
21CAP Foundation
- Research in Telepathology - Sponsored by Nikon
- Award Amount 5,000 to cover expenses incurred
during the grant period, and for travel to attend
a national meeting to present an abstract/paper
summarizing study results. - Purpose To further developments in and use of
information technology for the practice of
pathology. - Time Commitment This grant is intended to
facilitate a six-month study. - Eligibility Pathology residents and those in
fellowships who are still in training. Applicants
must be a CAP Junior Member or have an
application pending.
22CAP Foundation
- Research in Telepathology - Sponsored by Olympus
- Award Amount 5,000 to cover expenses incurred

23Conclusions
- Pathology Informatics trainees should consider
clinical research training programs in CTSA sites
38 - Pathology Informatics trainees should consider
biomedical informatics training programs 18 - Other funding opportunities exist in your
institution, foundations and from industry - Communicate with CAP Foundation
- Make it happen, there are options!!!
