Cate Cassarchis MFIA GAICD on LinkedIn: We were very proud to share some of the exciting research we are… (2025)

"On the road again, Goin' places that I've never been, Seein' things that I may never see again..." This time I am off to Anaheim for #ACRP2024. You know what I enjoy most about the ACRP - Association of Clinical Research Professionals annual conference? The opportunity to speak to folks in the trenches. The people who often are the ones using our platform daily. It is one of the best places for me and my team to learn more about what research organizations struggle with and gives me the chance to ask "How can we help?" #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch #technology #eReg #eSource

I’m really happy to share that with the publication of this study, we, at The Medical Futurist Institute, have taken a huge step toward a dream of mine we’ve had for many years: to make medical futures studies a new scientific field!This scoping review, ‘𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭’, that we published in JMIR takes a journey into the existing literature on the application of futures methods in healthcare, and it reveals that these methods have been successfully used to develop national strategies, inform healthcare policies, prepare for global threats like pandemics, and explore advancements in specialized medical fields like personalized medicine.However, we also proved that despite its potential, futures methods have been underutilized in the medical community.There’s a significant gap: the lack of structured methodologies and principles for employing futures techniques in healthcare, that’s exactly why we need medical futures studies.You can read the full scoping review at the link below, and we’ll be back with more exciting news about this topic soon! We have a lot of work to do.https://lnkd.in/ec8e2qUU

The resource I've been devoted to over the last two years is finally out in the world! Check out the MRCT Center's updated and improved Clinical Research Glossary. https://lnkd.in/e8k5m4TN I feel so great about this glossary for three main reasons:- the collaborative, consensus-based approach the workgroup follows when creating content, prioritizing the voices and perspectives of patients,- the inclusion of custom images and graphics, bringing an element of the arts into the delivery of this important health-related information, and- the partnership with CDISC, indexing all these easy-to-understand definitions within the NCI Thesaurus.Use it, share it, let me know how you like it :)

📢 NAEVR Joins Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research to Support Robust NIH FundingWe are proud to sign on as a supporter of the Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research’s letter urging US Congress to finalize the FY 2025 Labor-HHS spending bill with at least $48.9 billion for The National Institutes of Health, plus funding for Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). https://bit.ly/497qWWSThe NIH drives groundbreaking discoveries that save lives, improve health, and bolster our economy. However, only 1 in 5 promising research proposals currently receive funding—leaving life-changing opportunities on the table. Sustained and predictable funding growth is critical to ensuring the U.S. remains a global leader in medical innovation.Together, we’re advocating for investments that will advance cures, improve patient outcomes, and strengthen the biomedical workforce.Let’s protect the future of research and innovation! 💡#AdvocacyMatters #VisionResearch #SaveNIH #BiomedicalResearch
