PBS
Segment Features U-M Research Scientist
Radha Ayyagari, Ph.D.,
research scientist for the U-M Kellogg Eye Center
and recipient of one of the first Life Sciences grants, will be featured
on "Secrets of the Sequence," on WTVS, Detroit Public TV, on
Sunday, Feb.9 at 1 p.m. The segment highlights Dr. Ayyagari's genetic
research on macular degeneration. Paul Sieving, M.D., Ph.D., a former
Kellogg physician-scientist who is now director of the National Eye Institute,
is also featured in the segment. The U-M is one of six universities that
helped producers of the series identify important new areas of research
in the life sciences.
HIPAA Updates
Compliance
in Research
The Privacy
Regulations of the Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) will take effect in just a few short months. The deadline
for compliance with HIPAA is April 14. In the next couple of months,
there will be special bulletins of the Biomedical News going out
to the UMHS research community. They will contain information and tips
for researchers on HIPAA compliance. The first bulletin will contain an
overview of the correspondence researchers can expect to receive over
the coming weeks in preparation for HIPAA compliance activities. This
bulletin is scheduled to go out during the first week in February.
HIPAA
Compliance for
VA Researchers
If you do human subject
research at or in connection with the Ann Arbor VA, you may have been
told that projects approved by an IRB on or before April 13, will
not need to comply with HIPAA. To clarify, HIPAA governs health care providers,
health plans, and health care clearinghouses, not research projects. Research
projects do not need to comply with HIPAA per se, but health care providers,
including U-M hospitals and health centers, may not "disclose"
protected health information to researchers or allow researchers to use
the information without specific authorization from their patients or
a waiver of authorization granted by an IRB or a privacy board. The information
you will receive from the IRBMED and UMHS Privacy Board in the coming
weeks will assist you in taking the necessary steps to ensure that you
continue to have access to the information you need for your research
projects after April. 14. For more information on HIPAA, e-mail
HIPAAQuestions@umich.edu.
The
UMMS Virtual Tour Project Needs Your Input
Attention: Faculty,
Staff, Students and Residents
UMMS Web Services is in the process of developing a web-based tour and
we need your input. The tour will contain interactive, 360 degree photos
and video clips. Interactive photos will allow prospective students, residents
and faculty to look inside a room just by moving their mouse. Our virtual
tour will have about five interactive images. Please help us build the
tour by listing the five most important buildings or locations on campus
via e-mail. The tour will feature the top five areas based on your vote.
The locations might include Circle Drive, the UMHS Cafeteria, and the
inside or outside of buildings, rooms, labs, etc. E-mail Lisa
Copeland with your list of locations and indicate if you are faculty,
staff, a medical or graduate student, or a resident/fellow. Thanks for
your help. We will share the results with you in the near future.
