Are you an academic researcher who recently completed a study in collaboration with a community partner?
If so, we invite you to apply for the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) Promoting Academics and Community Engagement (PACE) dissemination grant. The goal of PACE dissemination grants is to share Community-Engaged Research(CEnR) results back to the community.
The Association for Clinical and Translational Science (ACTS), a non-profit membership association of translational scientists from the nation’s leading academic medical centers, honored its Translational Science Award recipients at Translational Science 2024.

This workshop outlines the process of obtaining valid informed consent and will give you the opportunity to demonstrate necessary language and communication skills when interacting with potential study participants and their families. This session is not about writing the informed consent document or specific U-M IRB requirements. Attendees of the workshop should come prepared for active participation during the workshop.
Have you completed basic instruction in clinical research but are looking for more? The Instruction in Monitoring, Procedures Documentation and ClinicalTrials.gov (IMPACT) workshop series is designed for study team members who are ready for an intermediate level of training for clinical trials skills. Participants will learn critical clinical research skills through a group learning environment and hands-on skills practice.
On May 21, 2024, BRISP will present a conference on “Advancing Behavioral Science through AI and Digital Health.” The conference is designed for BSSR scientists to learn about AI and applications to their research. It brings together several AI experts on campus and features Keynote Speaker Amy Bucher, Ph.D., Chief Behavioral Officer at Lirio.
In Winter/spring 2024, MICHR will offer the popular Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) for K Awardees, a seminar that is designed to meet the requirements of the NIH K-23, or any federal or non-federal career development grant.
“I would not be able to do this work without the support of common resources accumulated at MICHR. I value the work I am able to do at U-M and so much of it is enabled by the MICHR team. They are fundamental to getting good clinical research done at Michigan.”
The MICHR Expanded Access program is a fantastic resource. The Expanded Acccess process is pretty complicated, requiring communications with the FDA, the University institutional review board, the pharmaceutical company, and lots of documentation. Early in the COVID-19 epidemic, I worked with the TEAMSS staff to obtain remdesivir for some of our first patients at Michigan Medicine. All I had to do was decide on the drug and they pretty much took care of the rest. They were available after hours and on weekends. They ‘made it happen.’
I was finding research funding options to be very complicated and confusing, until I stumbled upon the MICHR webpage… cue ray of light and angels singing. The resources on this page were exactly what I had been searching for.
