| The Importance of Diversity and Equity in Medicine and Research: Healthcare Triage Podcast Posted: 30 Apr 2021 02:20 PM PDT In this episode, Dr. Brownsyne Tucker Edmonds and Dr. Sylk Sotto talk with Dr. Aaron Carroll about the importance of diversity and equity in research, higher education, and medicine. They share insights about underlying issues they've seen and talk about ways to encourage success for underrepresented minorities. This episode of the Healthcare Triage podcast is sponsored by Indiana University School of Medicine whose mission is to advance health in the state of Indiana and beyond by promoting innovation and excellence in education, research and patient care. IU School of Medicine is leading Indiana University’s first grand challenge, the Precision Health Initiative, with bold goals to cure multiple myeloma, triple negative breast cancer and childhood sarcoma and prevent type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

Sponsored by: Health Services Research and Development (HSR&D) & Quality Enhancement Initiative (QUERI), Veterans Health Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Submission deadline: Health Services Research (HSR) and the VA HSR&D QUERI program are partnering to publish a Special Issue on Translating Research into Policy and Action, to be co-edited by Melissa Garrido, PhD, Arleen Brown, MD, PhD, and Amy Kilbourne, PhD. A recent Presidential Memorandum emphasizes the need to make policy and programmatic decisions that are "guided by the best available science and data." This memo follows the implementation of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act (Evidence Act), which requires all cabinet-level agencies in the United States government to support policy and budget decisions with rigorous evidence. The HSR&D QUERI program is leading the Veterans Health Administration's response to the Evidence Act and fosters partnerships among researchers, clinicians, and system managers and leaders to maximize the policy impact of research and ultimately improve health outcomes and equity for patients. Both within and outside of the VA, implementation and translation of research findings into action can be done more effectively if the needs of affected communities are taken into account. Community engagement is critical to disseminating, implementing, and sustaining evidence-based programs and policies in the real world. This engagement is crucial to improving health equity. However, the generation of evidence to inform policy and the community impact of policy are often considered separately. Most studies that end up informing implementation of evidence-based programs or policies are conducted in settings or populations that are not representative of those that are most adversely impacted by disparities in health or health care. The goal of this special issue is to highlight research that bridges this gap and engages the community or relevant stakeholders to inform policy and lead to meaningful change. HSR is soliciting papers that are relevant to the development of evidence-based policy and the translation or implementation of research into action. Papers that highlight novel findings and methodological research directions based on implementation science, community-based participatory research, and similar fields and/or seek to inform health equity and promote active participation of individuals most affected by the research are especially welcome, including those that focus on the VA health care system, as well as other systems and payers. Papers must report the results of original investigations. Framework, review, summary, and commentary articles will be solicited separately. Illustrative examples of topics within the area of Translating Research into Policy and Action include but are not limited to:
The deadline for initial submission of abstracts is Manuscripts submitted for the Special Issue will first undergo the same HSR peer review process as all regular manuscripts. However, due to the timeline for publishing the Special Issue, HSR will monitor the progress of manuscripts through the review process and try to shorten it; likewise, authors should expect to be especially prompt in returning revisions. All accepted articles will be published electronically within a few weeks of acceptance using Wiley's Early View process. Articles published through Early View are fully published, appear in PubMed, and can be cited. Approximately 12 articles will be selected, based on the most original and significant work addressing the theme. Accepted manuscripts that are not selected for the Special Issue will be automatically scheduled for print publication in a regular issue. The print publication date for the Special Issue will be June 2022. Key dates for authors:
May 21, 2021: Notification of manuscript invitation for the Special Issue July 17, 2021: Submission deadline of manuscripts for the Special Issue June 2022: Publication of the Special Issue If you would like to submit your abstract for consideration, please email your abstract and co-author contact information to the editorial office at hsr@aha.org, using the subject line "Special Issue on Translating Research into Policy and Action".
