The deadline for the submission of abstracts to the “Critical
Issues in eHealth Research” conference is just a few short
weeks away (March 1, 2005). Abstracts are
being sought for the 1st annual Scientific Conference entitled “Critical
Issues in eHealth Research,” sponsored by the National Institutes
of Health and the Health e-Technologies Initiative (a national program
office of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). The conference will convene
scientists from government, academia, survey research and the private
sector, practitioners from the private and public sectors, and students
to discuss the state-of-the-science of eHealth research. Topics include
but are not limited to design, methodology, ethics and evaluation of eHealth
research from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. All submissions
will be peer-reviewed and may be accepted for either an oral presentation
or a poster presentation. New researchers and junior faculty are encouraged
to submit abstracts. Abstracts are also welcome in the area of eHealth
and minority health experiences. All abstracts must be submitted electronically no later than midnight
on March 1, 2005. - Martin Brown, NCI Ed's Corner of the World The CRN Steering Committee met on January 12th to review the 14 Pilot
Fund Project Proposals submitted for Round II CRN Pilot Funds. Each proposal
had been reviewed by at least two reviewers from within and outside the
CRN. The Steering Committee was impressed by the overall quality of the
proposals. The Committee based its final recommendations on the following
criteria:
We are pleased to announce that two projects have been funded. They are: “Use of an interactive voice response system with physician feedback to reduce cancer symptoms: A Pilot Study” PI: Kari Bohlke, Group Health; and “Informing an R01 application: Interviewing Colorectal Cancer Survivors” PI: Ann Geiger, KPSC. We want to thank all the authors who submitted a proposal. The PI’s office is in the process of providing feedback and follow-up assistance to the projects that did not get funded. This issue of the CRN Connection features an update on the four projects funded last year in Round I of the Pilot Fund request for proposals. The HMO Research Network Conference is being held April 4-6, in Santa Fe, NM. I look forward to seeing many of you there.
