info_outline Postmarket Surveillance Studies with David RutledgeClinical Trial Podcast | Conversations with Clinical Research Experts
In this episode, we’re going to talk about Postmarket Surveillance Studies. In light of the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), medical device manufacturers are required to implement a Postmarket Surveillance (PMS) plan, which in turn may require them to conduct Postmarket Surveillance Studies. The importance of such studies has grown in recent years as regulators want to know about the safety and effectiveness during the lifetime of a medical device. To learn about Postmarket Surveillance Studies regulatory requirements, process for collecting clinical data for such...
info_outline Human-centered design role in clinical trials with Bruce Hellman and Ben JamesClinical Trial Podcast | Conversations with Clinical Research Experts
In this episode, we explore the role of design in clinical trials. Most clinical research professionals are so focused on protocol design, data collection, and analysis that it’s easy to overlook the importance of well-designed technology that supports clinical trials. One such technology product is electronic Patient Reported Outcomes or ePROs. ePROs are surveys that are presented to and completed by clinical trial participants as part of the study requirements. To learn more about ePROs and the role of design in clinical trials, I invited Bruce Hellman and Ben James on the Clinical...
info_outline Clinical Trial Site Networks with Christian BurnsClinical Trial Podcast | Conversations with Clinical Research Experts
There are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to being a standalone clinical trial site. Standalone clinical trial sites enjoy the freedom of running their own operations. But they may face challenges with executing some parts of a clinical trial. This is where site networks come in. For example, a site can run more efficient marketing campaigns, be more systematic in its clinical trial operations, or share patient recruitment and retention resources by being part of a site network. To learn more about site networks, I invited Christian Burns, President of Elligo...

info_outlineIn the fiscal year 2021, the National Institute of Health (NIH) funded only 16,959 out of 80,878 research project grants.
In other words, the success rate was 21%.
And the total funding amount was $8,827,444,624.
The question I had was, “What does it take to get grant approval and launch an NIH funded research project?”
To answer this question, I invited Dr. Manish Shah, Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and Attending Physician in the Texas Children’s Hospital Emergency Center in Houston.
Dr. Shah has served on several national committees to advocate for improvements in pediatric and prehospital emergency care.
His research has focused on developing, implementing, and studying outcomes related to evidence-based protocols for various clinical conditions, including seizures.
Dr. Shah is currently the Principal Investigator for the Pediatric Dose Optimization for Seizures in Emergency Medical Services (PediDOSE) study, which has been funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and is being conducted in the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN).
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Shah on the Clinical Trial Podcast.
