## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY – EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CLINICAL RESEARCH INFORMATICS SHARED RESOURCE
The Epidemiology and Clinical Research Informatics Shared Resource (ECRISR) serves a crucial dual
role in support of both epidemiological and clinical trial research management by providing overall research
management expertise and informatics-based management solutions to AECC investigators. The ECRISR has
extensive experience supporting all aspects of epidemiological research with a special focus on the
development of Study Management Informatics Systems (SMIS) which facilitate the diverse management, data
and operational aspects of implementing complex study protocols. The SMIS incorporate automated workflow
processes across shared facilities, implement QA and best practices to ensure data integrity, automate data
integration from various sources, and establish real-time data monitoring in order to provide efficient research
operations, improved data access and progress/regulatory reporting. The SMIS integrate with internal and
external EHR and laboratory systems, and support management of multi-center clinical research projects.
 The ECRISR is responsible for the development, implementation and on-going oversight of a
comprehensive clinical trial and research management program to standardize and streamline all AECC
clinical trial and research process management. The resource has extensively customized the functionality of
the Velos CTRMS to provide QA oversight and facilitate compliance/monitoring of all clinical trial activity. The
ECRISR has established workflows, policies and procedures that collaboratively engage, guide and/or provide
oversight to other shared resources involved in cancer research. The research management process spans
the lifecycle of protocol management from IRB submission to completion and the ECRISR continually expands
the purview of the program with the design of custom interfaces between the CTRMS, EPIC and multiple IRB
institutional systems to provide fully integrated regulatory and operational management of clinical trials.
 The ECRISR provides competency and capacity to develop scalable and robust informatics infrastructure
which leverage big-data analytic resources to enable a wide spectrum of research across the enterprise. The
facility maintains a sophisticated applications framework with data governance and security protocols in
compliance with national standards and provides interoperability with other systems to create patient-centered,
integrative informatics platforms for comparative effectiveness and preventive care research. The resource
participates in national informatics initiatives, develops innovative informatics approaches, provides novel
solutions in the realm of data extraction and Quality Assurance. The ECRISR strives to foster interdisciplinary
collaboration, serves as a data coordinating center, provides data management services, assists in the
development of pilot and grant proposals, and works closely with bio...
