Digital Clinical Trials Workshop Executive Summary:
Creating a Vision for the Future
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and OBSSR, hosted a workshop on April 1-2, 2019 to discuss the potential transformation of NIH-funded clinical trial research by leveraging digital technologies including data analytics. Development of diverse digital technologies and analytics has impelled a paradigm shift in how clinical trials can be conducted. This development points to opportunities to advance the clinical trial process on both scientific and cost effective grounds while moving more towards a more patient-centered trial experience. This workshop convened experts in the field of clinical trials and digital health technology to identify best practices, gaps, barriers, and future priorities for leveraging digital technologies for clinical trials.

Workshop Executive Summary:
Identifying Research Priorities in Child Suicide Risk
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rates of suicide attempts and deaths - including among children - have been increasing in the United States over the past decade. However, very little research has been conducted on suicide risk in children relative to adolescents and adults. The NIH National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and OBSSR held a workshop May 9-10, 2019, to foster discussion among experts in the field with the goal of identifying future research priorities in the area of child suicide risk.

New Video on the "NIH Story"
NIH has produced a new video that captures the spirit, mission, community, and the lifesaving work we do at NIH and the more than 2,500 universities, medical schools, and other research institutions in every state and around the world. For many, we are considered the National Institutes of Hope. This video tells the story of NIH and our community, and represents the thousands of people who dedicate their lives to improving health and fighting disease, and operating the biomedical research enterprise that enables this important work. We consider this video as much your video as it is ours and we encourage you to share it with your constituents. For questions, please contact the NIH Office of the Director Office of Communications: OCPLPressTeam@od.nih.gov.

This workshop will foster discussion among experts from different fields and disciplines to share their perspectives and explore interrelationships among multiple comorbidities, in an effort to refine research priorities that aim to improve the health and well-being of people with HIV. This workshop is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. If you cannot attend in person, please consider participating by webcast (link will be provided closer to the date of the meeting).

Registration for the Mental Health and SUD Forum's First Workshop is Now Open
The NASEM Forum on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders is hosting its first public workshop on October 15-16, 2019. This first workshop will provide an overview of 5 key policy challenges to improve care for people with mental health and substance use disorders. The workshop will explore issues related to:
- Promoting person-centered care, patient and family member engagement, and shared decision making
- Defining what constitutes minimally adequate care for mental health and substance use disorders for different types of providers and in different care settings
- Identifying promising strategies to translate knowledge to practice and to monitor implementation
- Highlighting innovative practices to facilitate and optimize data collection, integration, and use
- Improving care spanning the medical, mental health, and substance use disorder workforce and care delivery systems
It is expected that subsequent workshops will continue to build on this foundational work, examining key issues in greater detail.
