Campaign to promote Colorado PROFILES Can Colorado PROFILES be used to increase research collaboration?

Our leadership training program for doctors and researchers (LITeS) created a survey to identify cross-campus social media use methods for identifying and maintaining collaborations. Colorado PROFILES was identified as a powerful tool that more faculty should know about.

Microblog Sites Professional Networking Sites Sharing Sites Communication

80 62.9 70 57.4 60 50 41 34.2 40 27.5 30 22.9 25.6 16.3 13.4 Percentage 20 10 4.2 0.4 0 • So we developed a Campaign Plan and Key Messages

• Rolled out messages in… • The Director’s Corner in our newsletter Found in Translation (June 2019) • Collateral material: posters/flyers we posted across campus and shared at events (July 2019) • Series of emails to members about Colorado PROFILES (September 2019) • Infographic we posted on the CCTSI website and a print version we handed out at events (August 2019) • Series of social media posts on Twitter that included gifs, which showed features of the app (July-October 2019)

• Hosted a campus wide Town Hall on Colorado PROFILES (attracted 80+ participants) (October 2019) PROFILES Town Hall October 2019 Examples…Examples… More examples…

• GIF’s for social media posts • Infographics • Print Design Twitter messages RESULTS PROFILES Genesis of the Project

• LITeS Presentation

• Once I presented the idea to our PI, he was very enthusiastic about doing a campaign to promote PROFILES Nuts and Bolts of the Campaign • My colleague Cristine Schmidt and I did everything from the planning, drafting the messages, doing the graphic design (Cristine in particular) and creating the collateral.

• We asked the members of the LITeS team to allow us to take their photos and contribute quotes about PROFILES. Tracy (in the black poster) in particular seemed to be very well known on campus, and I think that fact helped people notice the posters and comment on them to us at various events.

• The only outside costs were a few hundred dollars to print the collateral material—we used a printer on our campus.

• We had no idea how many people would come to the Town Hall. We were very pleased with the turnout and especially pleased with the level of engagement—the highest I have ever seen at any of our Town Halls. I attribute this to the tool itself, the researchers enthusiasm for it and to some extent, our marketing of it.

• It was a team effort between many different parts of our institute—from the participants in LITeS who inspired the campaign, to our MarComm team, to our PI who was eager to do the Town Hall and our PROFILES expert Swan Ellert.

UAMS Translational Research Institute Research For Me: History, Purpose, & Outcome Michelle Maclay Herndon History, Purpose, & Outcome

North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences (NC TraCS) Institute

April 14 2020 Overview

• History of Program • Vision & Goals • Resources & Budget • Challenges • Successes • Questions and feedback History  Our original attempt, Join The Conquest Program, created and launched in 2011, had a focus on a healthy volunteer registry and education around participation in clinical trials — this worked well for a specific population but left many frustrated about the limited scope of information listed. There were only 60-70 studies listed at any given time, many users were engaged but unable to find something relevant.

 The need for a streamlined “front-door” into research at UNC came out of hearing frustration from teams and participants alike that there was no single place to go to learn about research at UNC and search for relevant opportunities

 The program manager who initiated the establishment of RFM has a history of working as both a coordinator and project manager at UNC, and has experienced the frustration and barriers that many participants face firsthand as well as the struggles that studies face to meet accrual goals The Vision

Create a UNC-branded “front door” for any patient or member of the public wishing to engage in research here

Improve transparency, accessibility, and familiarity

Lay-language

Provide a way to engage at any level

Provide a way for researchers to find collaborators and assess saturation

Promotion and visibility in all UNC clinics and publicly across the state. Already accessible via MyChart and soon from the UNC Health Research page Goals of Research 4 Me (R4M)

Commit to a mission of providing the public with a comprehensive, searchable listing of all current studies involving direct interaction with participants, providing teams with the option to expand their listing and utilize the site as a recruitment tool.

Provide a resource for researchers to find collaborators and assess saturation Research for Me @UNC

Listing process launched in Nov 2019, Public site launched in Feb 2020

Comprehensive, searchable study listing; optional recruitment tool

Public-facing research engagement website with over 11,000 registered users

Learn about research, view current research, find relevant participation opportunities, read stories and profiles highlighting study teams and participants

Created by the Recruitment and Retention Program at the NC TraCS Institute

Addresses existing gap between incredible work happening at UNC and ability of patients/public to learn about what we do and access opportunities to engage with research Benefits

 Streamlined, united front presented to the public

 Automated, up to date information

 Unique landing page for every study

 Individuals more aware of research

 Individuals more receptive and willing to engage

 Improve “customer service”

 Expand reach and diversity

 Improve synergy and transparency Resources & Budget for RFM • Team of three – Program manager, communications specialist, web developer • Budget – About $4500 on the logo and development of the brand guide. We could have done this internally if we’d brought on our communications specialist sooner. – Staff support for 1 full time communications specialist and 1 programmer (now down to .5 FTE) – Modest budget for promotion moving forward (TBD) – Will try to leverage the existing marketing and communications group within TraCS, and departments at the University and Health system to buy in and help promote. – Time, sweat, and definitely a few tears researchforme.unc.edu researchforme.unc.edu researchforme.unc.edu Challenges

 Complete redesign and branding of a website with a team of three  Custom site and process integration into existing systems  Change management surrounding implementation of an enterprise- wide mandatory listing process  Help study teams become aware of the new website/requirement, change their perceptions from the old version of the site, make RFM attractive for use as a recruitment tool Successes

 Made listing basic study information a requirement for all UNC research involving direct participant interaction (Support from UNC IRB)  Increase in potential participant user registration with no PR campaigns (but they are planned for the future)  Increased university researcher awareness and cooperation with listing studies  Improved education about lay language and increase in requests to optimize listings for language – 22% of recruitment listings request language review – hoping for even more as we increase awareness and demonstrate the value of Research for Me as a recruitment tool. Plans for the Future

• collaborative manuscript developed by 3 or more CTSA Program hubs • address substantial challenges in clinical or translational research • Synergy Paper teams receive • project support from CLIC • funds toward copy editing and publishing costs

• Learn more: https://clic-ctsa.org/collaboration/clic-synergy-papers • Contact: [email protected] CLIC Un-Meeting 2020 Rescheduled: August 8, 2020 The goal of this Un-Meeting will be to gather individuals interested in exploring ideas and methods for evaluating non-pharmacological interventions.

…trial designs, methods, and standards established to support regulatory approval of pharmacological interventions frequently result in conflicting or negative studies despite strong epidemiological evidence of benefit

….no consensus on best practices exists on the design of studies of non-pharmacologic interventions
