> **NIH NIH P01** · UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA · 2020 · $388,456

## Abstract

Abstract 
Well-planned initiatives aimed at accelerating patient recruitment is the key to all successful clinical research 
studies. Core B, the Recruitment and Sleep Study Core, will provide services to Project 01 and Project 02 in 
the areas of subject recruitment and performance and scoring of sleep studies. The proposed Core maintains 
the successful Recruitment and Sleep Study Core established with the previous program project grant. Core B 
is designed to provide the following important services: 
1. Subject Recruitment: The Core will provide an infrastructure with well-trained staff who are proficient in all 
 issues regarding protection of human subjects engaged in research, and who will take primary 
 responsibility for recruitment of subjects in the projects. 
2. Performance of Sleep Studies: The Core will standardize the performance and scoring of sleep studies at 
 the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Iceland, and conduct sleep studies at the University of 
 Pennsylvania for Project 1 and Project 2. 
3. Performance of More Complex Sleep Studies: The Core will provide skilled technologists for more 
 complex procedures such as performance of polysomnograms to determine critical airway pressure (Pcrit). 
4. Review of Data: The Core will provide timely review (for quality and medical alerts) and scoring of all 
 records and generate reports to be transferred to the Biostatical and Data Management Core (Core E). 
5. Quality Assurance: The Core will conduct continuous quality assurance procedures to maintain high levels 
of technical performance of sleep testing at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Iceland as well 
as scoring of the sleep recordings at the Sleep Study Core Laboratory.
