Cerebral palsy is defined as a childhood disorder, which fails to recognize adults living with the condition and the lack of care they receive once they age out of pediatric clinics.
Health Lab
One in seven parents think their child gets angrier than peers of the same age and four in 10 say their child has experienced negative consequences when angry, a national poll suggests.
Health Lab
Newly presented data suggest that infants who receive a hybrid stage I palliation – a less invasive alternative for initial treatment – more commonly develop necrotizing enterocolitis compared to those who receive the standard Norwood operation, a complex open heart surgery.
Health Lab
Researchers have developed an AI powered model that — in 10 seconds — can determine during surgery if any part of a cancerous brain tumor that could be removed remains, a study published in Nature suggests.
Health Lab
Black patients are less likely than white patients to receive certain medical tests that doctors use to diagnose severe disease, impacting artificial intelligence data. But researchers have found a way to correct the bias in these data sets.
This course will review the Not Regulated, Secondary Use, and Umbrella application types in eResearch and when these application types are applicable.
Michigan Biology of Cardiovascular Aging offers a multidisciplinary science program with the goal of fostering research collaborations, mentoring, networking, and education in the area of aging and cardiovascular disease via monthly public lecture series, visiting speakers, annual symposium, and more.
This course will examine the additional regulatory requirements for conducting research involving pregnant women, fetuses, neonates, children, and prisoners, including the requirements for these populations in a research project and obtaining informed consent.
This course will introduce the basics of conducting human subject research in compliance with federal regulations and institutional practices.
This course offers an overview of informed consent in human subject research. The course will examine IRBMED’s standard consent template and focus on how it reflects federal requirements.
This course is intended for those unfamiliar with eResearch, the university’s electronic research administration site. This course will provide a basic knowledge of working in and using eResearch while examining the process for creating and submitting an initial project application.
Join us at our Holiday Open House event, where innovation meets expertise! This is an opportunity for researchers to explore our cutting-edge facilities and discover the exciting advancements in Single Cell, Spatial, and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies.
This course offers an overview of some special situations relating to informed consent. Specifically, waivers and alterations of informed consent, waivers of documentation of informed consent, and obtaining consent from non-English speakers.
The Research Operations, Management & Strategy (ROMS) Fellowship sponsored by the UMMS Office of Research is now recruiting for the 2025-2027 cohort and is hosting an upcoming information session about the program.
