Network Chair for the Pacific Northwest DPBRN

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提议建立太平洋西北牙科实践研究网络（PNW/DPBRN），并在此申请中创建网络主席办公室。这个网络椅子的申请是由华盛顿大学和俄勒冈健康与科学大学牙科学院合作提交的。首席研究员是Timothy A. DeRouen博士，华盛顿大学研究和学术事务执行副院长，生物统计学和牙科公共卫生科学教授，因此华盛顿大学是申请机构。Co-P.I。他是Jack Ferracane博士，OHSU的修复牙科教授和主席，OHSU是一个分包机构。主要的临床合作研究者是华盛顿大学的Joel Berg， DDS， MS和OHSU的Thomas Hilton， DMD， MS。PNW网络计划覆盖华盛顿州、俄勒冈州、爱达荷州、蒙大拿州和犹他州这五个州。这一团队努力的成功可能性取决于团队在关键领域的相关经验，包括DeRouen博士在nidcr资助的多中心临床试验中担任P.I.的经验，以及在临床牙科研究中开发模型培训计划的经验，Berg博士在行业资助的临床试验中招募和监督临床医生的经验。Ferracane和Hilton在俄勒冈州和华盛顿西南部牙医的口腔健康网络中开展了基于实践的研究。Delta Dental数据分析中心是一个重要的合作伙伴，通过该中心，可以获得基于Delta Dental保险索赔在五州网络区域的试点和观察性研究数据。提议建立一个共同监督行动的组织结构，其中包括使用分布在这个大地理区域的五名区域协调员。一个积极的战略招聘网络从业人员提出，包括与国家牙科协会，牙科校友会，特别是与当地牙科学习俱乐部工作。为参与者提供的教育计划将基于非常成功的临床牙科研究方法暑期学院。为促进网络的运作，除《区域协定》授权成立的执行委员会、议定书审查委员会和政策谘询委员会外，还建议成立出版委员会、牙科保险联络委员会和外部咨询委员会。这个应用程序与另一个数据协调中心配对，数据协调中心也来自华盛顿大学，由Brian Leroux博士担任私家侦探，生物计量核心的其他成员担任联合调查员。鉴于DeRouen博士之前在开发生物测量核心方面的历史，网络主席和协调中心之间的密切合作和协调得到了保证。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to establish the Pacific Northwest Dental Practice Based Research Network (PNW/DPBRN), and to create the Office of the Network Chair in this application. This Network Chair application is submitted as a collaborative effort between the University of Washington and Oregon Health and Science University Schools of Dentistry. Principal Investigator is Timothy A. DeRouen, Ph.D., Executive Associate Dean for Research and Academic Affairs and Professor of Biostatistics and Dental Public Health Sciences at UW, so the University of Washington is the applicant institution. Co-P.I. is Jack Ferracane, Ph.D., Professor and Chairman of Restorative Dentistry at OHSU, with OHSU as a subcontracting institution. Key clinical co-investigators are Joel Berg, DDS, MS, of UW and Thomas Hilton, DMD, MS of OHSU. The PNW network is proposed for the five state area of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Utah. The likelihood of success of this proposed team effort is predicated on the very relevant prior experience of the team in crucial areas, including Dr. DeRouen's experience as P.I. on an NIDCR-funded multicenter clinical trial and in developing model training programs jn clinical dental research, Dr. Berg's experience in recruiting and overseeing clinicians in industry-sponsored clinical trials, and the experience of Drs. Ferracane and Hilton in developing a Practice-based Research in Oral Health network of dentists in Oregon and Southwest Washington. An important collaborator is the Delta Dental,Data Analysis Center, through which data for pilot and observational studies based on Delta Dental insurance claims in the five state network region can be obtained. An organizational structure is proposed for shared oversight of the operation which includes the use of five regional coordinators spread across this large geographical region. An aggressive strategy of recruitment of Network practitioners is proposed that includes working with state dental associations, dental alumni associations, and especially with local dental study clubs. An educational program for participants will be offered that is based on the highly successful Summer Institute in Clinical Dental Research Methods. Besides the Executive and Protocol Review Committees and DSMB mandated by the RFA, also proposed to facilitate the operations of the Network are a Publications Committee, a Dental Insurance Liaison Committee, and an External Advisory Committee. This application is paired with one to become the Data Coordinating Center, also from the University of Washington, with Brian Leroux, Ph.D. as P.I. and other members of the Biometry Core as co-investigators. Given Dr. DeRouen's previous history in developing the Biometry Core, close collaboration and coordination between Network Chair and Coordinating Center is.assured.
