Judith A. James, M.D., Ph.D., associate vice provost for clinical and translational science and professor of medicine at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine for her work in the field of autoimmunity and autoimmune disorders.

She is the first woman from an Oklahoma institution – and fifth overall Oklahoma-based scientist – to be selected for this prestigious honor, which is widely considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine.

This program is intended to support community engagement to develop funded research partnerships. Funds can be used for research development activities, including convening partners, working with individuals pursuing related work, and conducting needs assessments in community settings. The funds cannot be used to support actual human-subjects research protocols, which can be funded under other OSCTR pilot research programs and/or external funding.

The NIH public access policy requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to PubMed Central immediately upon acceptance for publication. If you do not comply with the policy, it may delay or affect your ability to get funding in the future. They have a series of video tutorials available at their site. Link.

Purpose

The OSCTR Clinical Research Toolkit site is currently in beta development, but we wanted to make it available to users to help facilitate researchers. We also welcome suggestions from users about features and information you would find helpful on the site. Over the next few months, we will be adding additional information to each category.  

The site can be reached through the navigation bar on the top of the page under Research Resources or at http://octsi.ouhsc.edu/ResearchToolKit
