First, the RMIP leadership team is excited to formally welcome and congratulate the investigators of the seven newly awarded RMIP projects!

Principal Investigator

Study Title

Randall Kimple

Planning a phase I study of minor salivary gland derived autologous MSCs for prevention of long-term radiation induced xerostomia

Ying Mei

Nanowired human isogenic cardiac organoids to treat acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries

Corey Neu

Dennis Roop

Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of an iPS Cell-based Therapy for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Delivered with a Spray on Skin Device

Honjun Wang

Safety and Efficacy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Chronic Pancreatitis and Its Associated Pain

Hin Fai “Gary” Yam

Second, a special thanks to the study teams who have already uploaded the requested study documentation to the NIH box including:

  • IRB approved study protocol

  • Letter of IRB approval

  • Informed consent template

  • Applicable HIPAA consent form

The study documentation provides essential information needed to properly interpret results and prepare the data for sharing. If you haven’t, please do so as soon as possible. Let's continue this momentum and make these projects a success!

 Many thanks from the RMIP Leadership

Last month at the RMIP Resource Hub

  • BDC hosted three orientation sessions last month. The orientation slides, an FAQ summarizing the Q&A sessions, and a recording of the presentation from the last orientation are now available on the RMIP Resource Hub on the BDC forum. We encourage you to revisit these resources as you begin your work on the project.

  • In order to fully interact with the forum content, please join the community if you have not already (link)

  • BDC now has office hours each Wednesday from 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET to assist investigators with aggregating and harmonizing RMIP study data on the ecosystem.

  • The new short form video tutorial “File Tagging” on is available on the Navigativing BDC YouTube channel. 


On the Horizon

  • We will be coordinating one-on-one meetings with study teams to discuss a data linkage strategy. This strategy will ensure that the cell characterization data is prepared and formatted appropriately for seamless sharing with the study team. The goal is to facilitate efficient data transfer and analysis.

Support

  • Seven Bridges hosted office hours:

    • Tuesdays at 10:00-11:00 AM ET  

    • Thursdays at 2:00-3:00 PM ET
