RESEARCH DESIGN AND PROCEDURES Sample Clauses

RESEARCH DESIGN AND PROCEDURES. This project focuses on the missing data analysis investigation of two retrospective cohort studies;17,18 consequently, it is retrospective in nature. The original findings of the two retrospective studies used complete-case analysis which will be labeled as the control group. Results from the missing data analysis will be categorized as the experimental group. Missing data mechanism for MCAR will be tested using Little’s test;23 however, this is not a confirmatory test for non-MCAR mechanism. There are no statistical tests to distinguish between MCAR/MAR and NMAR. Therefore, for the purpose of this project, MAR will be assumed in order to fulfill the assumptions of multiple imputation.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND PROCEDURES. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the access and satisfaction of pregnant persons with the telehealth perinatal services they received in Georgia during the COVID-19 pandemic, and if this differed based on rural or urban location. The thesis also aims to understand if perceived willingness to use telehealth services in the future differs between rural and urban Georgia perinatal care patients during the pandemic. Lastly, it aims to explore if there are any themes around the differing perceived satisfaction and future willingness of telehealth care in this population. The other graduate research assistant and I created the quantitative screener mentioned above. Then, we created a consent form as well as in-depth interview guides. The in- depth interviews included quantitative scale questions at the end, which allow me to determine the scale to which the interview participants are satisfied and willing to use telehealth in the future. Additionally, the qualitative narrative questions allow me to see if there are any themes that emerge in the difference in satisfaction and willingness with telehealth that could be attributed to geographical location. The screener and in-depth interview guides collect data on the patients to understand robustly their willingness and satisfaction both described as well as quantified. All the data collection tools were approved by Emory Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the study.

  • Research Use Reporting To assure adherence to NIH GDS Policy, the PI agrees to provide annual Progress Updates as part of the annual Project Renewal or Project Close-out processes, prior to the expiration of the one (1) year data access period. The PI who is seeking Renewal or Close-out of a project agree to complete the appropriate online forms and provide specific information such as how the data have been used, including publications or presentations that resulted from the use of the requested dataset(s), a summary of any plans for future research use (if the PI is seeking renewal), any violations of the terms of access described within this Agreement and the implemented remediation, and information on any downstream intellectual property generated from the data. The PI also may include general comments regarding suggestions for improving the data access process in general. Information provided in the progress updates helps NIH evaluate program activities and may be considered by the NIH GDS governance committees as part of NIH’s effort to provide ongoing stewardship of data sharing activities subject to the NIH GDS Policy.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.

  • Proposed Policies and Procedures Regarding New Online Content and Functionality By October 31, 2017, the School will submit to OCR for its review and approval proposed policies and procedures (“the Plan for New Content”) to ensure that all new, newly-added, or modified online content and functionality will be accessible to people with disabilities as measured by conformance to the Benchmarks for Measuring Accessibility set forth above, except where doing so would impose a fundamental alteration or undue burden. a) When fundamental alteration or undue burden defenses apply, the Plan for New Content will require the School to provide equally effective alternative access. The Plan for New Content will require the School, in providing equally effective alternate access, to take any actions that do not result in a fundamental alteration or undue financial and administrative burdens, but nevertheless ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the same benefits or services as their nondisabled peers. To provide equally effective alternate access, alternates are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for persons with and without disabilities, but must afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the person’s needs. b) The Plan for New Content must include sufficient quality assurance procedures, backed by adequate personnel and financial resources, for full implementation. This provision also applies to the School’s online content and functionality developed by, maintained by, or offered through a third-party vendor or by using open sources. c) Within thirty (30) days of receiving OCR’s approval of the Plan for New Content, the School will officially adopt, and fully implement the amended policies and procedures.
