Workshop on Health Disparities Among Sexual and Gender Minority Populations Day 1: March 1, 2023, 11:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. ET Day 2: March 2, 2023, 10:00 a.m. – 4:35 p.m. ET NIH Videocast
Join NIMHD for this upcoming workshop on health disparities among sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations. Speakers and panelists will explore research gaps, focusing on data sources, causes of health disparities, and interventions to mitigate health disparities.  Impacts of Healthcare Algorithms on Racial and Ethnic Healthcare Disparities Day 1: March 2, 2023, 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET Day 2: March 3, 2023, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET Zoom
Please join us for a 2-day online event. Healthcare algorithms, often based on statistical or mathematical models including machine learning or other artificial intelligence approaches, can offer value in diagnostics and treatments. At the same time, algorithms can create and perpetuate inequities in healthcare. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and NIMHD are hosting a meeting and panel to explore the current use of algorithms, their impact on racial/ethnic disparities in care, and approaches to identify and mitigate existing biases. Workshop on Inclusive Participation in Clinical Research March 30 – March 31, 2023 | 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. ET | Zoom
Join NIMHD for this workshop on improving implementation of evidence-based best practices for inclusive participation in clinical research. This workshop will systematically cover every stage in the research process: before the study, during the study, and after the study. Additionally, on the second day, attendees will participate in a special session with representatives from an array of fields that support and conduct clinical research.  Upcoming NIH Events Responsible Management and Sharing of American Indian/Alaska Native Participant Data under NIH Policy February 21, 2023 | 1:00 p.m. ET | Virtual
Join this upcoming event hosted through a collaboration among the NIH Tribal Health Research Office and the Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R) to develop educational programming related to the ethical conduct of Tribal research. This webinar will cover how to create a data-sharing plan that operationalizes flexibilities built into the NIH Data Management and Sharing (DMS) policy in order to respect Tribal sovereignty. Registration for this event is free and requires creation of an account on the PRIM&R website. Workshop on Using Public Engagement to Inform the Use of Data in Biomedical Research February 27, 2023 | 12:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET | NIH Videocast
NIH will be hosting a workshop to discuss how public feedback can help inform the use of new types of data (e.g., wearable devices, smart sensors, social media), new types of analysis (e.g., artificial intelligence and machine learning), and data linkage and aggregation in research. The meeting will feature discussion panels to share key points and themes from community conversations NIH has held across the country on the uses of personal health data in research. The panels will also feature discussion from ethicists, biomedical researchers, technology engineers and developers, public health experts, and clinician researchers who might utilize novel technologies to generate data. Rare Disease Day at NIH 2023 February 28, 2023 | 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. ET | Natcher Conference Center in Bethesda, MD
Join the NIH's National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the NIH Clinical Center for Rare Disease Day at NIH (RDD at NIH) 2023! Each year, NCATS and the NIH Clinical Center sponsor this event to raise awareness about rare diseases, the people they affect, and NIH collaborations that address scientific challenges and advance research for new treatments. The event is free and open to the public. Register and stay tuned for more details.  Past Event Highlights National Advisory Council on Minority Health and Health Disparities Virtual Meeting
