Creating workflows that involve the work of multiple departments within a large organization can be challenging, especially when the procedure itself is complex and involves a number of stakeholders. This paper describes and evaluates a collaborative project to develop an interdepartmental workflow for the digitization of unique library materials in a mid-sized academic library. The project includes an automated project management and materials tracking system. Project development involved three separate departments with different reporting channels. In order to navigate this difficulty and manage the large size of the project, a visual planning technique that included graphical representations of current and proposed workflows, as well as implementation timelines, was used. This visual planning technique allowed the project team to clearly organize their thoughts and plans and proved helpful in soliciting buy-in from stakeholders. The paper will outline the collaborative planning process, addressing the rewards and challenges of tackling such a project within a large organization, and present lessons learned for others attempting similar endeavors.

Abstract This study makes an attempt to generalize the integrated modeling tools used by the authors in practice on the basis of the following criteria: the volume of the initial data, the integration mechanism, constraints and assumptions. Various types of integrated models are compared with each other, the need for their application is analyzed, they are connected at various stages of the project development and by the tasks solved at this stage. It also describes the challenges that the authors encountered when working with integrated models of various levels of detail, approaches to their solution, and the lessons learned.

Future Success

With the announcement of the Australian government’s technology roadmap ‘out of COVID’, we are on the cusp of potentially the next wave of carbon, capture and sequestration (CCS) project development. To date, Australia has just one operational large-scale CCS project. Before Australia embarks on a potential new wave of CCS developments, reflection on successes and the lessons learned both domestically and in a global context is required. Xodus has reviewed a range of CCS projects, taking into consideration project type, government policy, investment and country energy mix. From this, Xodus has assessed what is needed to enable deployment of large-scale CCS projects.

Background: The MC252 oil spill posed a multitude of challenges. There were many areas where data collection was not only needed but a necessity of the operations, situation and planning units. In an effort to fill this need, the leadership of BP purchased a software and hardware solution. This combination of software and hardware did provide a viable solution, but was perhaps not the perfect combination. Lacking proper mobile support for management, support, training and development support, the program stumbled. Results: The Mobile program suffered greatly until Trimble, the manufacturer of the devices, learned of the issues. They then pushed for a management team for the program. The management team underwent many iterations of solution implementation before a solid program of project development, testing, deployment and training was refined. This included coverage of a project development plan, project management, training plan, device inventory management, and remote device management software solution. Conclusions: A model for program implementation and management should be applied to future disasters including a software/hardware purchase matrix, an organization chart inclusion for a mobile administrator/team, standardized data models for projects, project management, change management and training team.

The Impact

Abstract Cancer prevention and control has benefited substantially from behavioral medicine research over the last several decades. The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, ably led by Barbara Rimer and then Bob Croyle since being established in 1997, has been a primary supporter of this research. NCI has made significant investments in many of the topics featured in this special section and will continue to do so. These include research on basic behavioral processes such as affect as well as optimal approaches to health communication. A key and enduring focus has been the support of behavioral interventions, particularly for tobacco, diet, physical activity, and sun exposure. The success of such interventions will be amplified to the extent that they leverage novel research designs, emerging digital technologies, evidence gleaned from the burgeoning field of implementation science, and lessons learned from greater attention to the impact of health disparities and inequities. Moreover, as the cancer survivor population continues to grow given the rapid development of diagnostic and therapeutic science, it will be even more essential to devote attention to understanding and addressing the health care and other needs of survivors such as cognitive dysfunction and financial toxicity. The field of behavioral medicine should be both applauded for its many contributions to reducing the cancer burden and encouraged to continue developing new research ideas in these critical areas.

Abstract Few studies report best practices for recruiting older adults from minority, low SES communities for behavioral interventions. In this presentation, we describe recruitment processes and numbers for Take Heart, a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of an adapted heart disease self-management program for primarily African American, low SES adults 50 years or older in Detroit. Community-based (CB), electronic medical record (EMR), and in-person hospital clinic (HC) recruitment methods were implemented. Within 22 months, 453 participants were enrolled, with an overall recruitment yield of 37%. The CB method had the highest yield (49%), followed by HC (36%) and EMR (16%). The average cost of recruiting and enrolling one participant was $142. Face-to-face interactions and employing a community health worker were particularly useful in engaging this population. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in other minority and low SES populations and share lessons learned about recruitment challenges and successes.

UNSTRUCTURED In an increasingly connected world and in the midst of a global pandemic, digital trials offer numerous advantages over traditional trials that rely on physical study sites. Digital trials have the potential to improve access to research and clinical treatments for the most vulnerable and minoritized, including pregnant and postpartum individuals. However, digital trials are underutilized in maternal and child health research, and there is limited evidence to inform the design and conduct of digital trials. Our research collaborative, consisting of five research teams in the U.S. and Australia, aimed to address this gap. We collaborated to share lessons learned from our experiences recruiting and retaining pregnant and postpartum individuals in digital trials of social and behavioral interventions. We first discuss the promise of digital trials in improving participation in research during the perinatal period as well as the unique challenges they pose. Second, we present lessons learned from 12 completed and ongoing digital trials that have used platforms such as Ovia, Facebook, and Instagram to recruitment. Our trials have evaluated interventions for breastfeeding, prenatal and postpartum depression, insomnia, decision-making, and chronic pain. We focus on challenges and lessons learned in three key areas 1) rapid recruitment of large samples with a diversity of minoritized identities; 2) retention of study participants in longitudinal studies; and 3) preventing fraudulent enrollment. We offer concrete strategies that we have pilot tested to address these challenges. Strategies presented in this commentary can be incorporated into as well as formally evaluated in future studies.
