Goal #1: Advance clinical and translational science

Emory University, including researchers at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, has been awarded up to $17.6 million from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to develop innovative technology aimed at improving outcomes for patients with cancer requiring surgery. The project, titled “MarginCall,” is set to transform how surgical margins are evaluated during cancer surgeries, with an initial focus on breast and ovarian cancer…&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://winshipcancer.emory.edu/newsroom/articles/2025/emory-researchers-awarded-up-to-17.6-million-dollars-from-arpa-h-to-innovate-cancer-surgery-improve-outcomes.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.

A rapid information-gathering tool embedded within the national volunteer registry, ResearchMatch, is helping clinical researchers obtain feedback from potential study participants to improve trial design and recruitment strategies. “Traditional methods of seeking community input on study design and operational assumptions can be time-consuming and resource-intensive,” said the creator of ResearchMatch, <a href="https://www.vumc.org/dbmi/person/paul-harris-phd-facmi-fiahsi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Paul Harris, Ph.D.</a>, professor of Biomedical Informatics and Biostatistics and director of the Office of Clinical Research Informatics in the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “This new Expert Advice service line provides a streamlined way to gather valuable feedback from the populations we hope to serve, helping us design more community-relevant and participant-friendly clinical studies and trials…”&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://news.vumc.org/2025/02/13/how-researchers-are-enlisting-volunteers-to-help-shape-clinical-trials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
