New Departmental Research Grant AwardMelanie C. Wright, PhD, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Human Factors Specialist in the Human Simulation and Patient Safety Center, received a 2-year $418,798 NIH Exploratory / Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) entitled “Toward Intelligent Display of Health Data: A Qualitative Study of Use Patterns”. This project proposes a unique approach to eliciting provider descriptions of the relative importance of

specific health data in the context of their own data use activities. These descriptions will be analyzed to identify emerging themes related to information seeking and principles that can be applied to the organization and prioritization of clinical health data. This proposal has significant implications for the design of electronic health records to support faster information access and to ensure that critical information is not missed. This proposal also includes effort from Drs. Noa Segall, Jeffrey Taekman, Eugene Moretti, and Rebecca Schroeder.

Anesthesia Global Health Fellowship Approved

The GME has approved the anesthesia global health fellowship. This is a 2 year fellowship during which you obtain a global health certificate in your first year and then travel abroad to Ghana for your second year to teach, research and give service in anesthesia.

All who will complete anesthesia residency training can apply. There is currently one position open for July 2012. More information can be obtained by contacting Dr. Adeyemi Olufolabi.

Duke Delirium Research Group MeetingThe Duke Delirium Research Group is holding their next meeting on Monday, September 12 at 5:00 pm in conference room 6686. Dr. Christopher C. Young will give his lecture on “Sleep Apnea and Delirium in Surgical ICU.” Everyone interested in delirium is invited to attend.

Invention to ApplicationInvention to Application is a year-long learning experience with multi-disciplinary teams from business, life sciences research, law, medicine and the latest technologies developed by Duke faculty from Duke technology transfer office.

The class teaches students, post-docs and fellows how to evaluate early stage research to determine if it has the potential to translate to clinic to market and ultimately to patient care. For researchers and clinicians, the class provides a process to provide you with all the skills necessary to become effective translational researchers and founders. This includes

understanding patents, regulatory strategy, assessment of clinical need, reimbursement, and business finance. For business students, the class provides a means to develop market advantage through the creation of proprietary deal flow. This includes IP strategy, engaging researchers, evaluating markets and positioning an entrepreneurial venture for financing. It provides the opportunity to develop a full business case. Many of the technologies from the class have progressed to new ventures including raising substantial venture capital funding.

Progress in the class is overseen by our Advisory Board comprised of the Executive Director of Duke’s tech transfer office, seasoned entrepreneurs, local VCs, and faculty members at Duke who have commercialized technologies. The class meets once per week, on Thursday afternoons, in an effort to accommodate clinical and academic schedules. Interested individuals should contact Dr. Barry Myers, [email protected].
