Core C: Recruitment, Retention And Cohort Management Core

核心C：征聘、留用和队列管理 摘要 招聘、保留和队列管理核心将协调创建和 保持登记的纵向研究种群为10,000只狗。在这项复杂的全国性研究中， 与不同地点的所有者和兽医进行有效沟通对于促进准确 并以多种形式及时提交数据。为了确保成功，这个核心将由首席执行官管理 德克萨斯州A&M兽医与生物医学学院兽医官Kate Creevy博士 与丹尼尔·普罗米斯洛博士一起，U19研究项目的PI和这个核心的共同研究员。这个 招聘、保留和队列管理核心将通过一系列三个项目实现其总体目标 明确的目标。具体目标1将建立、管理和维持一个具有足够权力的队列，以解决 U19的中心假设。这将包括发展队列，包括适当的平衡 品种、性别和年龄，这公平地代表了美国狗主人的多样性 各州。第二个具体目标是开发和维护协议，使收集医疗信息成为可能 记录数据和登记的狗临床测量和分析，对参与者的负担最小。核心C 将制作和分发纸质和电子招聘材料给兽医、狗主人和 感兴趣的团体；它将协调登记请求，并为所有与U19相关的研究选择参与者；它将 确保从业主那里获得知情同意并存档；它将监测研究的及时完成- 相关体检、问卷和实验室评估以及提交所产生的数据 通过这些事件。最后，具体目标3将创建回答问题所需的基础设施，并 参与的业主和兽医对完成与研究有关的任务的关注；以及 监督与参与者以及参与者之间的持续沟通。

CORE C: RECRUITMENT, RETENTION AND COHORT MANAGEMENT ABSTRACT The Recruitment, Retention and Cohort Management Core will coordinate all aspects of creating and maintaining an enrolled Longitudinal Study Population of 10,000 dogs. In this complex nationwide study, effective communication with owners and veterinarians across diverse sites is paramount to facilitate accurate and timely submission of data in many forms. To ensure success, this core will be governed by the Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. Kate Creevy, at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences along with Dr. Daniel Promislow, the PI of the U19 Research Program and co-Investigator for this Core. The Recruitment, Retention and Cohort Management Core will achieve its overall goals through a set of three specific aims. Specific Aim 1 will construct, manage and maintain a cohort with sufficient power to address the central hypotheses of the U19. This will include development of cohorts that include an appropriate balance of breed, sex and age for the study segments, and that fairly represent the diversity of dog owners in the United States. The second Specific Aim will develop and maintain protocols to make it possible to collect medical records data and enrolled dog clinical measurements and assays with minimal burden on participants. Core C will create and distribute paper and electronic recruitment materials to veterinarians, dog owners and interested groups; it will coordinate enrollment requests and select participants for all U19-related studies; it will ensure Informed Consent is obtained from owners and archived; and it will monitor timely completion of study- related physical examinations, questionnaires and laboratory assessments and submission of data generated by these events. Finally, Specific Aim 3 will create the infrastructure needed to respond to questions and concerns from participating owners and veterinarians regarding completion of study-related tasks; and to oversee ongoing communication with and among participants.
