Today, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a notice in the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts seeking comment on a Draft Behavioral and Social Clinical Trial Template. The template was created to guide investigators through the systematic development of a comprehensive clinical protocol and will be especially helpful to investigators who are less familiar with the information and the level of detail that is required in such a protocol. The template has also been tailored specifically for studies involving a social or behavioral intervention.
Comments on the draft template will be accepted through Oct. 11, 2018, and can be made electronically by visiting here.
For a perspective on the importance of this template, please see the latest Under the Poliscope blog co-authored by Dr. Carrie D. Wolinetz and Dr. William Riley, NIH Director of the Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research (OBSSR)
Questions about this proposal may be sent to the NIH Office of Science Policy at SciencePolicy@od.nih.gov.

New antiviral drugs that promise a cure for the millions of Americans with chronic hepatitis are also benefiting another category of patients: those awaiting organ transplants.
Those patients can now receive an organ that has tested positive for hepatitis C, and if they become infected, they can be administered the antivirals to rid them of the disease.

While uterus transplantation is still in the experimental stage, it has promising potential as a treatment for women with absolute uterine factor infertility based on the childbirths from living donor trials conducted in Sweden and the United States. We report the main characteristics and perioperative and postoperative courses of both recipients and donors following four deceased donor and five living donor uterus transplantations.

The Third International Workshop on Clinical Tolerance was held in Stanford, California, September 8‐9, 2017. This is a summary of Workshop presentations of clinical trials designed to withdraw or minimize immunosuppressive (IS) drugs in kidney and liver transplant patients without subsequent evidence of rejection. All clinical protocols had in common the use of donor or recipient cell therapy combined with organ transplantation.

Persistent hepatitis E virus genotype 3 (HEV G3) infections affect solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, but the burden in these cohorts in the United Kingdom is unknown. We established an audit to determine the point prevalence of HEV viremia in SOT and HSCT patients in the United Kingdom and compare different testing approaches to inform screening strategies.

Despite vendors offering predictive analytics and machine learning to support staff and nurse scheduling, provider organizations prefer manually developing their work schedules, a new KLAS report shows.
The survey of executives, scheduling directors, and other leaders from over 300 provider organizations revealed that only about one-half of respondents using three of the nine vendors with predictive scheduling are leveraging, or trying to leverage, their solution’s predictive analytics function for staff and nurse scheduling.
