RED 767 | Ways Data Collection Can Go Wrong - 9/8/25

Class Description: Data collection and management in clinical research studies sounds simple, but pitfalls are common and usually lessons are learned the hard way. This course will discuss key concepts in thinking about accurate and adequate data collection in clinical research studies. We will focus heavily on how to assure data are collected sensibly, practically, and with purpose.  We will discuss in detail how to assure that appropriate data elements are collected to support the study outcomes. We will also discuss pitfalls and mishaps in data collection and identify methods to avoid problems and erroneous or missing data.  We will also review regulatory aspects of data collection, often underappreciated by researchers, and other administrative issues that can impact your data. Finally, we will discuss the function and purpose of a Data Coordinating Center and approaches for multi center data collection.    SallyJo Zuspan  Director, Research & Business  sally.zuspan@hsc.utah.edu  Pediatric Administration… Event Categories: Lectures.

In order to manage data properly, researchers will need to be aware of key considerations in each of the above areas, organization, documentation, storage, and preservation. This course will cover the research data lifecycle along with key practices and decisions in each stage. Additionally, the course will include how data management can be leveraged to make the research process smoother using tools and resources available on campus.   Learning Outcomes: At the conclusion of this course… Event Categories: Lectures.

RED 721 | Getting Published: Responsible Authorship and Peer Review - 9/11/25

Live Session: 9/11/25, 1-2 PM, Zoom  Publication in science and academia serves several purposes.

In this workshop, strategies for researchers and other academicians to publish their papers in well-regarded journals in their field will be presented. Several questions will be addressed including: What criteria do editors and reviewers use in evaluating papers for publication? What can an author do to enhance the likelihood that their manuscript will be reviewed and accepted? What can an author do when their manuscript is rejected or unfairly evaluated?
