UCLA National Clinician Scholars Program
UCLA National Clinician Scholars Program (NCSP) is committed to solving the most pressing societal challenges of our time—not least among them, addressing disparities and quality of care in an ever-changing healthcare landscape. Inspired by the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program (CSP), which for more than 40 years fostered the development of physicianleaders able to transform health and healthcare, the university proudly launched the new UCLA NCSP. This post-doctoral education program builds upon the CSP legacy, with early-career physicians and post-doctoral nurses participating in an intensive, highly-customized, two-year program that places them in community settings to conduct priority research directly benefiting the health of Southern California residents. UCLA NCSP is joined by the 3 sites from the RWJF Clinical Scholars Program including the schools of nursing and medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, and Yale University to form the NCSP. The new NCSP retains the experience and central values of the 4 sites that have directed the highly successful RWJF/VA Clinical Scholars Program, including a commitment to teaching rigorous research design, ensuring Scholars develop a nuanced understanding of how the health system and social determinants affect health, engagement of those who can help apply research results, and emphasizing the outcomes and impact of research. Yet the new NCSP builds upon this core strength, moving in a new direction by partnering directly with institutions and agencies sponsoring individual scholar positions, with a strong focus on commitment to partnering agencies and creating generalizable lessons for improving health of patients and communities. Our partners contribute invaluable expertise and/or resources to support the Scholars and their research, as well as the curricular and administrative core of the program. At the heart of the program, many members of our consortium fund and work directly with each Scholar to identify and develop projects to cultivate that Scholar's unique research and leadership skills. We do so in a fundamentally innovative environment where partners play a major role in selection of Scholars, training, intensive mentorship, funding positions, and program governance. Inter-professional training is also an important new feature of the program. Integration of physician and nurse researchers in training to advance the field of healthcare from different perspectives will shape the future of health and healthcare in ways that we have not seen before. Scholars will also benefit from inter-professional mentorship and leadership experiences. Scholars who have completed their medical degree and residency training, Doctor of Nursing Practice training, or PhD, will share this important experience, enhance each other's career trajectories, and build a network of health professionals to lead change in the nation. Additionally, fellows from different departments and disciplines join us to further enrich this educational experience. We welcome you to the UCLA NCSP!

For the routes and schedule, visit: https://main.transportation.ucla.edu/getting-around-campus/bruinbusschedules 4) Stipends For Non-VA Clinical Scholars Stipends are paid via Graduate Division on a quarterly basis and the first check is paid by August 1st. The stipend will be paid via direct deposit to your bank account. To set up direct deposit, please see www.finance.ucla.edu/business-finance-services/student-accounts/ and click on the link for BruinDirect. 5) Stipends For VA Clinical Scholars Stipends are paid via direct deposit every two weeks directly from the VA. 6) Tuition Payment for tuition is generated through the program for all Scholars. You must provide Staff with your plan for coursework by the end of July of each year or 1 month before the quarter begins for any changes. Of note, UCLA charges fees for grade changes, removing incomplete grades, and withdrawing from a class. Please let staff know of those changes so that a payment
19
can be initiated. Also, please check your BAR (Billing and Accounts Receivable) account on www.ursa.ucla.edu monthly and let Staff know of any balances as soon as possible. If you are enrolled in a degree program, you must take a course every quarter until you complete the degree requirements or risk being dropped from the Fielding School of Public Health and must reapply! Our UCLA NCSP funds do not allow non-resident tuition in the second year. Please review the residency document requirements in this manual and begin to obtain your residency materials in July of your first year (e.g. drivers license, vehicle registration, voter registration, bank accounts, etc). You will then submit the application and documents required in June directly to the Registrar’s Office. Any delay in submission or incorrectly submitted materials may cause delay in approval. Any out of state tuition in year 2 must be paid by the Scholar. In case there are issues, please provide Staff with a copy of the application when it was submitted. Program staff always welcomes questions and can help you in this process. 7) Health Insurance Make sure to disenroll from student health care! As a UCLA student, you are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). You will need to waive SHIP through http://www.studenthealth.ucla.edu/CustPages/Insurance.aspx under “Waiving UCSHIP.” You will need to log in with your UCLA Logon ID and password. The waiver needs to be done every year between July - September before the start of the Fall Quarter and you should be waived for the entire year. If you do not waive SHIP by early September, you will need to submit the waiver each quarter in early December (Winter) and early March (Spring). For more information, please contact the Ashe Center Insurance Office at 310-825-4073, option 4. As NCSP Scholars or VA employees (for VA Scholars), you already have health insurance coverage. Therefore, the training grant will not pay for student (MIP) insurance. If you do not submit a waiver, you will be responsible for making this payment. The UCLA Hospital provides an excellent package of health benefits for all non-VA Clinical Scholars in the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine (100% coverage for medical, dental, vision, plus ability to enroll in life and disability benefits). 8) Malpractice Insurance UCLA will only cover MD's malpractice when they practice in a UCLA site. It is not a general malpractice policy for all clinical activities. Office Procedures 9) Computer and Software Scholars receive a loaner laptop for the first month in the program. In August, scholars are issued a UCLA computer, which is set up with Microsoft Office packages (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, PowerPoint) as well as SAS 9.1.3 and Intercooled STATA 9.0. If you need anything else for coursework or projects, please let Staff know. 10) Computer Files
20
You have a file in the H drive to which only you have access using your computer id and login. This file is backed up on Fridays to avoid any loss of files should the computer hard drive fail. Please store all your files in this folder in the H drive. Any documents stored on the C drive in the computer could be lost and impossible to retrieve. To find your file in the H drive, go to “My Computer”. You will see “YOUR NAME on 'domgimfs01\home' (H:)”. You could create a short cut to this file and place it on your desktop for easy access. 11) Copies, faxes, and phones You all have access to the copy machines in our suite. These require a code that can be obtained from any of the NCSP administrative staff. When making outgoing phones or faxes, please only dial the last five digits if it is a campus number. For off-campus numbers dial ‘8’ then dial as you would for making a normal phone call. For faxes, please use the machine that is located at the reception desk. Remember to dial ‘8’ before dialing, and to include the area code, even if it is a (310) number. You can access your voicemail from on- or off-campus. If you are on campus, dial 5-2222 and if you are dialing from off-campus, use (310) 825-2222. You will be prompted to enter your “mailbox” then your “password.” Your mailbox is the last five digits of your office phone number and your password is the last five digits of the phone number plus 1. 12) Mail Your mailboxes are located in our suite. If you would like to mail program-related materials offcampus, in lieu of a stamp, use the ID code we provide for you. 13) Bruincard The BruinCard is a multi-purpose card available to UCLA students, faculty and staff that serves as the official UCLA identification card and is used for student registration, library services, recreation and building access, a BruinGo pass for the Big Blue Bus and much more. Purchases can be made using the debit feature of the card, which is accepted at all on-campus stores and restaurants as well as at 20 merchant locations in Westwood Village. All faculty and staff are encouraged to get a card at one of three BruinCard Centers: 123 Kerckhoff Hall, 150A Sproul Hall, or 107 Wilshire Center. 14) Travel Funds are available for travel. The usual allocation for each Scholar is the trip to the National Meeting and one “scientific meeting” (usually related to your specialty, i.e., SGIM, etc.; max allowable $1800). The University asks travelers to pay all expenses, with the exception of airfare, and will provide reimbursement upon the traveler's return. Please note that UCLA will not allow us to prepay for hotel expenses. You will need to retain the itemized hotel bill and submit to UCLA for reimbursement. Please see our staff to make arrangements for your airfare to be purchased in advance through UCLA Travel. Purchasing your airfare directly through UCLA Travel is the preferred method. Additionally, meeting registration fees may also be paid directly by UCLA via a check and requires at least 2 months advance notice prior to the meeting
21
registration deadline. Please do not pay for another colleague’s or community partner’s travel expenses, this is not allowed under UCLA policy. Pre-Approval from a Program Director and notification to the Program Administrator with the purpose of the travel is needed before arrangements and purchase can be made. If paid out of pocket, reimbursement is not guaranteed without the Program Director pre-approval and notifying the Program Administrator. 15) Resources There are many resources available to fellows. Our program has a few laptop computers available for check-out. We have a cabinet of basic supplies (i.e., paper, pencils, notebooks, envelopes, etc.) for your use. All other project related office supplies should be purchased by ordering through our UCLA system. If you have any questions, problems, or need anything please be sure to let us know. 16) Email responses are expected within 24 hours Please make an effort to check your UCLA email daily, as time-sensitive requests for response often come up. If you are going to be out of the office for more than 1 day, please let our administrative staff know, so that we can direct inquiries accordingly. Further, it is required that you post an “out of office message” on your phone and email. For urgent matters, please provide a cell phone and/or beeper number for staff to contact you during business hours. This number will not be shared with others without your permission. For any email from the program or faculty that requires a response, we expect an answer within 24 hours. It is inefficient to have to send the same messages repeatedly. Please answer within the first request. Finally, if you have any questions at all, please let us know. UCLA can be a very bureaucratic place and it is much easier for us to attend to any issues if you work with us. We have a lot of experience dealing with the University system and are here to help so please let us know if you need anything. Guidelines for Project Expenses 17) Program policy requires a pre-approved budget prior to spending any program funds. A line item budget for all expenses (project, travel, coursework, etc) is required for any use of program funds. Program staff will help you construct a budget for your project, travel, and other program related expenses as well as coordinate submission to Directors for approval. The Scholar should also review their budget with their primary research mentor. Every effort will be made to expedite any urgent or time-sensitive requests. However, please be advised that it can take UCLA 6-8 weeks to process purchases, reimbursements, etc so you need to plan in advance. Without a line item budget or other pre-approval, reimbursement is not guaranteed. 18) Do not purchase anything for anyone Purchasing anything for someone else is not allowed by UCLA, that is hotel accommodations or meals during travel may not be purchased for anyone.
22
19) Everyone needs to use the UCLA purchasing system for everything Purchases such as flights, books, supplies, equipment, etc. must be done through the UCLA purchasing system. Staff can assist you in this process. This allows us to prepay for these expenses, so that you do not have to pay out of pocket. This is especially important for travel. To facilitate this, staff is available to book all travel for you. Checks can also be requested in order to prepay for items. These require a written invoice and take about 4-6 weeks. 20) If it is not possible to purchase via UCLA‌ If prepaying/UCLA purchase order is not possible, please let us know. We will review the expense and make sure that it can be reimbursed. Once approved and you make the purchase, supporting materials should be submitted within 30 days of expense. If an item is paid for in cash, original receipts must be turned in. If an item is paid for by debit or credit card, original receipts must show the last four digits of the card used or a copy of the statement showing that charge will be required as well. 21) UCLA will not allow reimbursement for any expenses over $200 (except for travel) and preapproval is required. Purchases made using a gift card are not reimbursable by UCLA. 22) Travel For travel expenses, there is no per diem. UCLA reimburses for actual costs only, up to a maximum of $74 per day for meals. You should turn in your proof(s) of expenses and forms to our fund manager and she will create the various forms needed. She may forward things back to you for your signature before they can be finalized. Travel expenses include all costs incurred by you, including hotels, parking, taxis, mileage for personal vehicle, SOLO meals, etc. Mileage for your personal vehicle needs to be listed on a separate form with the address of origin (must be 10940 Wilshire), destination address, a mileage total, and a brief description of meetings purpose. A cover sheet providing a summary of expenses with dates, descriptions, and totals of expenses would also be helpful. Meal expenses per person cannot exceed the following amount: Breakfast $26; Lunch $45; Dinner $78; Light Refreshments $18; Daily total maximum $74. Meal reimbursements need to have an itemized receipt so that UCLA can verify that no alcohol was purchased. Anytime you are paying for more than one person at a meal, it is considered entertainment, even on a trip. These need to be separated from other expenses, and a guest list needs to be provided, showing the names of attendees, their title, organization affiliation, and NCSP business purpose. 23) Need office supplies? The usual office supplies are available in our office and also can be ordered for you by NCSP staff. In general, we will try and apply your costs to your name or project as much as possible in order to help us track expenses. 24) Need to hire a research assistant?
23
Scholars often need to hire research assistants or data analysts. Because of personnel regulations at UCLA, any action (hiring, terminating, changing percent effort, holiday pay, overtime, comp time) must be pre-approved and processed by program staff. Send us a job description and we can help you find a RA or data analyst. See more information in the Project Operations section of this manual.

Petition for Residence Classification Procedures Who should file a Petition for Residence Classification If you are a continuing nonresident student for fee/tuition purposes and you wish to be classified as a California resident, you must file a Petition for Residence Classification by the deadline for the applicable term. How to file a Petition for Residence Classification Complete the petition and attachment per the Filing Instructions on page 2. Provide copies of all documents that pertain to you as listed under Documentation on page 2. Submit your materials, by the applicable deadline, to the Residence Deputy per the Filing Instructions. Filing periods and deadlines Submit your petition and materials within the dates shown. Late petitions are not accepted. Quarter Fall Winter Spring
Filing Period Begins June 1 November 1 February 1
Filing Deadline September 1 December 1 March 1
You are encouraged to submit your petition at least three weeks in advance of the deadline. Keep in mind that it takes approximately two weeks for a decision response. Providing required documentation Documentation will not be accepted after the last day of the applicable term. If you fail to provide any or all of the required documentation by the end of the applicable term, your petition will not be processed and you will not be classified as a resident for that term. If you are unable to provide any or all of the required documentation by the end of the applicable term and you wish to file a petition for the following term, you must file a new Petition for Residence Classification by the applicable deadline for that following term.
Intent You must demonstrate your intent to make California your home by severing your residential ties with your former state of residence and establishing those ties with California shortly after arrival. Your evidence of intent must be dated one year before the term for which you seek residence classification. Indicia of your intent to make California your permanent residence may include the following: registering to vote and voting in California elections; designating California as your permanent address on all school and employment records, including military records if you are in the military service; obtaining a California Driver License or, if you do not drive, a California Identification Card; obtaining California vehicle registration; paying California income taxes as a resident, including taxes on income earned outside California from the date you establish residence; establishing a California residence in which you keep your personal belongings; and licensing for professional practice in California. The absence of these indicia in other states during any period for which you claim residence can also serve as an indication of your intent. Documentary evidence is required and all relevant indications will be considered in determining your classification. Your intent will be questioned if you return to your prior state of residence when the University is not in session.
Nonresident students who are in the process of establishing residence and return to their former home during non-instructional periods will be presumed to be in California solely for educational purposes, and only convincing evidence to the contrary will rebut this presumption. Leaving the state for special circumstances such as a medical emergency will not preclude a student from being classified as a resident, but the burden of proof will be on the student to provide convincing evidence. (A student who is in the state solely for educational purposes will not be classified a resident for tuition purposes regardless of the length of his or her stay.)
Financial Independence You will be considered financially independent if one or more of the following applies: (1) you are at least 24 years of age by December 31 of the calendar year for which you are requesting resident classification; (2) you are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces; (3) you are a ward of the court or both parents are deceased; (4) you have legal dependents other than a spouse; (5) you are married or have a registered domestic partner, or are a graduate or professional student, and you were not claimed as an income tax exemption by your parents or any other individual for the tax year immediately preceding the term for which you are requesting resident classification; (6) you are a single undergraduate student and you were not claimed as an income tax exemption by your parents or any other individual for the two tax years immediately preceding the term for which you are requesting resident classification, and you can demonstrate self-sufficiency for those years and the current year; or (7) you are a graduate student instructor, graduate student teaching assistant, junior specialist, post-graduate researcher, graduate student researcher, or teaching associate employed 49% or more of full time or awarded the equivalent in University administered funds (e.g., grants, stipends, or fellowships) in the term for which classification is sought. Note: Graduate students who meet these criteria must provide a memo from their department verifying their eligibility. Memo must be on departmental letterhead and signed by department. Memo must state graduate student’s payroll title and percentage of time employed, and must address employment in the term for which the student seeks residence classification. Or if the student is not employed and is being awarded the equivalent in University-administered funds, memo must clearly state that the funds are equal to 49% or more of full-time employment in the term for which the student seeks residence classification. To verify financial independence (self support), you will need to document your income and verify that you were not claimed as an exemption by your parents or anyone else for the two tax years prior to your request for residence. In addition, you will also be required to present a budget showing how you are able to support yourself with the funds you claim. Self support is defined as money you have earned through your own employment or loans obtained on your own credit, without a cosigner. A gift or loan made to you from a parent, grandparent, or other family member will not constitute self support regardless of the terms.
Appeals Any student, following a final decision on residence classification by the residence deputy, may apply to appeal in writing to the legal analyst within 30 days of notification of the residence deputy’s final decision.

Summary of Fellowship Activities
Curriculum 1. Early in the first year, Scholars need to decide whether or not they will enroll in a degree program. If Scholars choose to pursue a degree, they must choose a curriculum advisor in the Department in which they will receive their degree. The role of this advisor will be to provide guidance in course selection and to ensure that curriculum requirements are met in timely fashion. 2. During the first year of the program, Scholars participate in a required didactic core curriculum including journal club, leadership, communication and other special seminars, which are described in this manual. Scholars have the ability to tailor their curriculum and participate in coursework through auditing. Scholars who will not pursue a masters degree meet with the Program Administrator and a Program Co-Director to set up an agreed upon core curriculum plan. For those obtaining a degree, Scholars are responsible for enrolling in the course through MyUCLA (www.my.ucla.edu; log in & password required to access your records). The schedule of classes per quarter is available at http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule. Scholars must let admin staff know in advance of their plans to take classes in order to ensure that tuition payment is processed in a timely manner. Failure to do so may require the Scholar to pay late fees out of pocket. 3. The Department of Health Policy Management in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health offers an implementation science track in the Masters of Science degree program, in addition to the traditional health policy track. The implementation science program offers the range of background and methods to successfully lead quality improvement/ implementation science initiatives. Students are exposed to an introduction to improvement theory, culture, and systems thinking, as well as a working knowledge of quality improvement and analytic tools and methods. Further, the curriculum explores methods for quality improvement and QI research as well as enhances skills to apply the science of improvement to the design, implementation and study of quality improvement initiatives in clinical settings. There is a focus on applying improvement theory and methods to the leadership of projects involving research, clinical care, and operations with an emphasis on experiential learning, including an improvement project as well as presentations and storyboards. Students also learn research design and methods for conducting rigorous inferential evaluation in the real world of implementation science. In lieu of Biostat 201B in the winter and HPM 237C the spring, Scholars interested in this track must take the following courses. For Scholars pursuing an MS degree, approval for this substitution from Dr. Jack Needleman must be submitted with candidacy paperwork prior to graduation. All other degree requirements remain the same.
32
HPM 215B: Advanced Methods for Improvement and Implementation Science (Inkelas/Hilberman): This course builds skills in applying methods of achieving change in health care and public health systems and meets twice per week for 2 hours in the Winter Quarter. A prerequisite for this course is the Implementation Science Bootcamp Seminar (no credit) taught over 5 2-hour sessions in the Fall by Dr. Andrew Hackbarth. HPM 225C: Research Methods for Improvement and Implementation Science (Needleman/Inkelas): This course provides students with the skills to implement generalizable quality improvement studies and to study the impact of implementation science initiatives. This course meets twice per week for 2 hours in the Spring Quarter. 4. Regardless of whether or not Scholars are in a degree program, all are expected to acquire intermediate level skills in qualitative or quantitative research methods. With the help of program directors and mentors, Scholars can make this assessment and set up a curriculum plan to meet with educational goals. Set up a time to meet with the Program Administrator and a Program Co-Director to coordinate an agreed upon curriculum plan. 5. Scholars let us know their thoughts on electives they have taken. Check it out here. 6. If a Scholar is interested in obtaining a different degree, i.e. not the MS in Health Policy and Management as described above, they must consult with one of the Program Directors and advise the Program Administrator. Any fees associated with obtaining the degree beyond the usual graduate student tuition must be paid by the Scholar. For example, the MPH degree in the Fielding School of Public Health requires payment of professional fee (~$7,000) in addition to tuition and student fees. The Program does not have budget for this expense. 7. Scholars may also decide to pursue a Ph.D. Additional, fellowship opportunities providing a third year of stipend and some research support may be available. Obtaining a Ph.D. will require very close coordination between the student affairs office, research advisor, and the chairman of the academic department in which the Ph.D. is to be granted. University rules and regulations as well as program requirements must be carefully followed. 8. Scholars are required to fully participate in the core curriculum, which includes the community based participatory research course taught by Ken Wells in conjunction community partners, journal club, and special seminars. It is a program expectation for scholars to attend all core curriculum and program events on the program calendar. We understand that competing demands such as community partner and mentor meetings, clinical work among many others issues, may prevent Scholar attendance. It is a program requirement for the Scholar to let administrative staff know about their absence in advance so we may reschedule or cancel a session if we find that attendance is low. For degree coursework and seminars, it is the responsibility of the Scholar to notify the instructor and copy administrative staff about the absence and a plan for obtaining need information from the session and making up the missed work. Advanced notice for attendance notification is very important.
33
9. Scholars are expected to attend the annual National Meeting. Scholars are also encouraged to join their professional specialty’s national organization and to attend their annual national meeting as well as present their research findings in appropriate forums. Scholars are expected to present their research plans and/or findings at the annual national meeting, submitting an abstract by the end of their first and second years. 10. Scholars are strongly encouraged to attend the General Internal Medicine (GIM) Division Health Services Research (HSR) Seminar Series (Fridays at noon). This is a great opportunity to learn about research that is currently underway in GIM, other divisions and departments, and at the UCLA Nursing School as well as the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. This conference is regularly attended by a very diverse set of faculty and it will provide the fellows with a nice overview of many different types of studies. This seminar also provides an excellent opportunity to meet the faculty who are the usual presenters, which may help in identifying potential project mentors. 11. The policy elective provides an opportunity to become familiar with the ways in which health policies are developed or analyzed by different stakeholders; participate as an active member of a team working on health policy development or analysis; and learn in detail about a particular health policy issue or issues of interest to the Scholar. Click here for forms and past proposals. Talk with program administrator and one of our Program Directors about your plans, timeline, and submit the proposal forms to obtain approval. The budget for this elective must be incorporated into your research and travel budgets. Proposal are reviewed and approved on a rolling basis so it is strongly recommended that submission be 2-3 months prior to the elective start. Changes to the elective plans may be accepted at a later date if needed. Funds will not be released prior to required approvals. VA Scholars must also complete this form – click here. Going to Federal, and probably state or local is not a problem. However, if a VA employee is detailed to a private entity (and it really doesn’t matter whether not-for-profit) that may pose conflict of interest problems, or the larger problem of that private entity benefiting from the Governmental resource. To use a straightforward clinical example, it would be illegal for a VA fellow, on VA time, to do clinical work at the university hospital that the hospital bills and is paid for. It isn’t a deal breaker, but a caution. Other sites have found a way to document this for a VA fellow who was able to do a policy elective at RAND, for instance. However, the local education office does need to document that the recipient site is recognized site through the affiliation agreement process. Let us know and we can work on this together with the VA. Clinical Work 12. Scholars are expected to spend at least 4 hours per week (10% time or no more than 8 hrs or 20% time) maintaining clinical skills through direct patient care, precepting, or as educators and consultants in their home department at UCLA, community partner, or at the VA for VA
34
Scholars. Scholars will have the opportunity to meet with the clinical chairperson, community lead, and/or his/her representative to review potential venues where they can either teach or take care of patients, or do both. Scholars must contact their specialty department’s administrative representative, and/or your community partner to collect credentialing paperwork and program administrative staff can work with Scholars through this credentialing process. We expect that all Scholars will complete credentialing requirements and begin regular clinic hours by October of the first year. 13. During the regular workday 8 am - 5 pm in the work week Monday through Friday, the Program expects Scholars to be fully engaged in all aspects of the Program including the core curriculum, special seminars, clinical work, and research. As the Scholar stipend is provided for these activities during that time frame, the Scholar is not allowed to obtain a salary or any payment for any services or activities, such as clinical work or research consultation. Weekends and evenings (for example for moonlighting) are not in the purview of our program scope and are not bound by this policy. However, it is expected that there will be no hindrance to participation in the full program. Projects and Products 14. During the Program all Scholars are expected to produce: a. A “product� of use to the community and its presentation to the community - This will be part of the requirements for the community based participatory research courses (HPM266AB). b. A main research project - This project is the focus of the mentored research of the Scholar. The Scholar engages a team of mentors to work with on this project and convenes a protocol committee meeting to review and approve the project and research budget. Requirements for this project are described in this manual. 15. A budget for your program research activities and travel should be described in writing and reviewed with program directors and administrators for approval. A sample of a budget and justification are included in this manual. 16. By the 6th month in the program, Scholars are expected to complete both an advisor/advisee contract and a Career Development Plan. Scholars are required to submit the Career Development Plan twice a year. Please drop your career development plan in this folder and update the project table here. 17. Scholars and their advisors need to guard against the Scholar becoming involved in too many activities. Although Scholars are expected to participate in two to three projects during the two-year program, participation in additional research should not be at the expense of course work, journal club/seminar participation, completion of two to three projects, personal commitments (e.g., family) or health status. To ensure that goals are achieved during the
35
fellowship, all research and leadership activities should be described in the Career Development Plan. Also, before taking on anything new, the opportunity should be discussed with the scholar’s primary research mentor and should be integrated into the overall career plan. 18. No-VA fellows may be eligible for the NIH Loan Repayment Program. Find more info and eligibility at https://www.lrp.nih.gov. Application cycle opens on Sept 1 of each year for the following academic year. Though no deadline is posted as of 5/16/2017, in the past these applications are due in Mid-Nov. Program Directors support these applications by reviewing them after the main project mentor and the scholar has worked on it. Submit your application that has been reviewed and approved by the main mentor to Staff for PD review 2 weeks prior to the deadline. Also let Staff know 4 weeks in advance of the deadline if you would like a PD to provide a recommendation. Typically, only 1 PD can provide a recommendation because info would be repetitive. Successful applicants allow 2-3 months to develop their application with their mentor and multiple reviews by the mentor plus 2 weeks for review time with a program director. 19. In Year 2, Scholars are expected to conduct a main research project, or “protocol project.” The protocol project involves: organizing a multidisciplinary research team, meeting with community and policy advisory board members, developing a research protocol and IRB application and organizing a research protocol committee. The primary research mentor should help guide this process. For many Scholars, the protocol project (a.k.a. main project) is an extension of either their community project from HS266A/B course or their policy paper from HS200A/B. See the main research project section of this manual for more information. 20. A picture is worth a thousand words! We need more pictures and fewer words on our website. Snap some pics in class, at a conference, or with your research partners and drop them here. 21. Share your wisdom! Tell future scholars about electives that you liked or didn't.

Core Curriculum Seminar and Course Descriptions https://sites.google.com/view/uclancspcourses Cross-site meetings over video/conference calls We aim to convene scholars and faculty from the 4 sites (Yale Penn Michigan and UCLA) over monthly or quarterly meetings via video or conference calls to share ideas, projects, and works in progress. This will also provide an opportunity for cross training over and above the annual national meeting. Pressing Health Issues and Resources in Los Angeles Pressing Health Issues and Resources in Los Angeles is a seminar that reviews the status of health in our community, the pressing health concerns as well as the resources to help us create solutions. History of Los Angeles, heath disparities, the safety net, projects and solutions are topics for review and discussion in this seminar, which takes place over 6 two-hour sessions in year 1 of the program. Seminar Inter-Professional Collaboration – Relevant topics Inter-professional Collaboration is a seminar taught over six two-hour sessions in the second year summer that brings in speakers to talk about large-scale projects and how collaboration from different disciplines has been used to bring change and health improvement. Pathways to Leadership The Pathways to Leadership seminar series exposes scholars to the "non-linear" development of most leaders and persons who have transformed fields. Utilizing an informal setting and a storytelling approach, speakers are asked to talk about their career and provide words of wisdom to the scholars, while providing plenty of time for questions and answers over the 1-1.5 hour meeting. The series delivers an informal and a more personal approach to leaders in their respective fields as they begin to think about and prepare for their own career paths beyond the program. Past speakers have included: Johnathan Fielding (UCLA; Former Dir. Of Public Health and Health Office for Los Angeles County), Mitchell Katz (Director, Los Angeles County Department of Health Services), Robert Ross (President and CEO, The California Endowment), Nirav Shah (Senior VP and COO for Clinical Operations, Kaiser Permanente Southern CA), Susan Essock (Columbia University), and Sachin Jain (CareMore). Seminars are held 1-2 times per quarter and as speaker availability allows. The sessions are hosted by Clinical Scholar Program Directors. Leadership Seminar The “Jeff Weiss Leadership Seminars” provides an overview of the evolution of theories of leadership, from the Great Man theories to Behavior theories to Personality and Skills theories, with time spent on situational leadership and emotional intelligence. Sessions have also covered a synthesis on how those models fit and don’t fit in physician and policy leadership. The seminars also connect scholars with a variety of speakers including: Daniel Palestrant
38
(Founder and CEO, Par8o) , Alan Weiner (author of “So Smart But…: How Intelligent People Lose Credibility- and How They Can Get It Back.”), Harlan Levine (CEO, City of Hope), Bede Broome (McKinsey & Company), Melissa Welch (Blue Shield and Aetna), Michael Rosenblatt (CMO, Merck), and Susan Weaver (CMO, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina). Seminars have covered topics on “Overview of Leadership Theory,” "Communications that Build Credibility," and “Managing Your Career; Job Strategy and Campaign." Jeff Weiss, Ph.D., is Founder of the Center for Corporate Innovation, Inc. (CCI), which runs exclusive forums where CEOs and senior executives from Global 1000 firms and large healthcare systems can explore strategies and growth. Seminars are held 2-3 times a quarter and depend largely on speaker availability. Journal Club Journal Club is a 1.5-hour group meeting of fellows and trainees in the UCLA Clinical Scholars Program, NRSA, and VA programs that convenes weekly, or approximately 45 times a year. Students volunteer to present one or more articles, papers, or studies from academic literature within their field or other academic and scientific areas of interest. Presentation of the material is followed by group discussion in which students are challenged to critically evaluate and analyze the material. In addition, students may present supplemental material to further demonstrate the breadth and context of the topic for themselves and students outside their discipline. Journal Club is facilitated by Robert H. Brook, M.D., Sc.D. and various faculty. Bootcamp - Biostat 100AB Biostat 100AB is an accelerated self-study preparatory/refresher course during the summer session (July- September) to cover the material of UCLA’s Biostat 100A/100B series. Lectures serve as a supplement to reading and self-study assignments, but students are mostly responsible for learning the material independently. Classes meet weekly over twelve (12) 2hour lecture session plus eleven (11) 2-hour lab sessions. Assigned materials include 1 test, 1 practice test, and 3 homework assignments. Homework is reviewed and commented upon, but serve largely for students to check their comprehension of the subject matter. The seminar is led by Neil Steers, Ph.D. Qualitative Methods Seminar The Qualitative Methods Seminar is composed of five (5) 2-hour sessions in which students are guided on the topics pertaining to Selection Research Questions & Developing Frameworks and Developing Protocols. In addition, students review Interviewing Skills, Data Management, and Data Analysis and Write-Up. These topics impart skill and knowledge which can be applied to scholar research projects. Qualitative Methods is led by Gery Ryan, Ph.D. Survey Design Survey Design familiarizes students with the basics of instrument design. Each session includes lecture, discussion of the lecture topic, and interactive work on questionnaires the students are designing. Assignments are a brief one or two-page description of the student’s project on which they can receive constructive feedback. As time permits, instruction covers putting a questionnaire together and pre-testing to check analysis goals are met. In conclusion of the
39
seminar, students should have a foundation and understanding of finding and evaluating existing measures, use of focus groups to understand research problems and develop survey items, developing new items and cognitive testing, as well as psychometric testing and validation – multi-trait scaling and IRT. The Survey Design seminars are led by Sandy Berry, M.A. with Julie A. Brown and Dr. Ron Hays as guests on selected topics. Bootcamp: Implementation Science Seminar The Implementation Science Seminar (“Improvement Methods ‘Bootcamp’”) introduces fellows to improvement concepts in preparation for HPM 215B (“Applied Methods for Improvement/Implementation Science”) and serves as a prerequisite in the implementation science track. Fellows develop a working knowledge of quality improvement and analytic tools and methods. In addition, fellows are provided practical advice that can be applied in their own improvement project work. Sessions are composed of five (5) 120-minute sessions and taught by Andy Hackbarth, Ph.D. Scientific Writing Seminar Scientific Writing is a five (5) session, 3-hour summer workshop for scholars in their second year of fellowship. Tailored for clinicians who wish to improve their writing and editorial skills for various professional contexts, it alerts them to writing problems in the scientific writing field generally and in their own work specifically, while providing the background for dealing with the same problems in their colleagues' writing. The workshop focuses on the technical (i.e., structural, syntactic, rhetorical, grammatical) features of the research paper almost exclusively and, as time permits, on some prose forms, such as the book review. Students are asked to pay close attention to the whole context--the intended audience, the purpose, and even the ethical implications of a chosen style--so that they can increase their sensitivity to language in all its forms. The Scientific Writing Seminar has been taught by Robert Bjork, Ph.D. for over 30 years with the Clinical Scholars Program. It is the longest running course in the subject in the United States. Relevant Topics Seminar – Guest Lecturers Relevant topics Important to Careers as Change Agents brings various guest speakers to talk with scholars about various issues such as health policy and using evidence in decision making and moving a policy agenda forward; creating health and healthcare change using organization skills; using media to improve community health; and communication skills, among others. These sessions will be hosted by program directors and faculty. HPM266AB Community Based Participatory Research: Methods and Applications Offering an exposure to working with communities to improve health and health services in innovative partnered ways, the course will combine mentoring from field experiences and a seminar style introduction to critical issues in conducting partnered research in community settings. The first quarter covers general principles of CBPR and practical and ethical issues in collaborating with communities in health-related research. The second quarter focuses on quantitative and qualitative methods used in partnered research and in implementing
40
partnered interventions and evaluations. The course will also provide an opportunity for Scholars to receive immediate feedback and guidance on their partnerships and projects from community and academic mentors that are associated with each main partnering agency, as well as community leaders and academic faculty participating in the seminar sessions.

An auditor participates and attends class sessions but is not enrolled nor obtains a grade. In the past, fellows have not had trouble obtaining permission from the instructor for auditing a course. Most courses can be audited except for core classes in the Business School, which requires for the cohort of students to do a group project. HPM225A typically also does not allow auditors.

E-books and audiobooks: We are happy to consider textbook alternatives such as e-books and audiobooks whenever possible.

The National Meeting Scholars' engagement in meeting activities and with alumni, faculty, and scholars from other sites provides an important networking experience! The Committee on Arrangements (COA), consisting of a scholar and faculty rep from each site, has put together a stellar cast of presenters and speakers. This is THE EVENT of the year! All Scholars are expected to fully participate in all meeting activities during the National Meeting, starting with breakfast at 7 AM until dinner, which usually ends around 9 PM. You may also have more time to meet scholars, alumni, and faculty at the hospitality suite after dinner. Of note, punctuality at all meetings is required. Important Dates and Deadlines: April: All Scholars work with their mentors on choosing the project to present at the meeting. Of course, feel free to also consult with Prog Directors. Scholars need to work with their mentors on the abstract. May 1: Call for Abstracts opens (submission website forthcoming) May 17: Send Staff the version of your abstract that has received sign off from the project mentor. Program Directors will review and provide feedback prior to the final NPO deadline. It is sometimes necessary for you to revise and resubmit (1-2x) for extra rounds of review prior to approval. It helps us provide this support and gives you enough time to make changes if we have your abstract by this deadline. May 31: Abstract due to the National Program Office. Scholars upload abstracts directly to website July: Decisions on poster or plenary‌ COA Selection of Plenaries and Posters: 1) Criteria for selection of posters and plenary presentations: The committee will be targeting plenary presentations for research with completed results. They would like scholars to indicate if they will have results by the time of the meeting. Thus, someone at submission might not have results but his/her abstract might still be chosen if it's likely the data will be in and there will be something to report by the meeting. 2) The COA will not be able to accommodate entire topic changes because the abstracts are slotted by theme whether for a plenary session or poster session. July-Sept: Scholars will work with the project mentor on putting together slides or posters. A version that has received sign off goes to program directors for
53
review via email.
Mid-August: Meeting registration site goes live. Register ASAP via the invitation that you received via email. Scholars share a double occupancy room. Confirm with the roommate and list their name on the registration form. Please see family friendly policy attached below for folks with kids under 12 months old. At the end of the on line registration form, there is a section for registering for CME credits. The University of Colorado School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 18.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. SET YOUR TRAVEL PLANS: Send our fund manager your flight request (including airline, flight number date, time; we use Expedia/Orbitz/KAYAK or other flight websites to get options). Make your travel plans in order to participate fully in all meeting activities. Make sure you have plenty of time to spare before the first scheduled event. Attending the meeting late is not acceptable. August 26: Revised abstracts due to Program Administrator for PD review. Any revisions that come in after this date may not make it into the meeting program. ONLY minor changes or adding results please. NO changes in the project or topic. Deadline to submit final version (word document including authors, affiliations, title, keywords) is Monday Aug 29 at 9 AM. October: Individual presentation rehearsals for second years and group briefing meeting with first years 2nd years: You will rehearse your plenary/poster presentation with program directors: 1 hr per person for the practice session #1 the week of Oct 10 and then 30 min for practice session #2 the week of Oct 24. Please make every effort to have your project mentor attend at least the first practice session. The slides/poster that you present at the practice sessions need to have been reviewed and approved by your project mentor BEFORE the practice session. For practice, bring your slides/poster on a USB drive and load it on the computer to project on the wall. Then for posters, your final version needs to be submitted to Staff by Nov 7 for printing. 1st years: First year Scholars will meet with Program Directors as a group the week of Oct 17 for a briefing on what to expect and how to prepare. Oct 31: For 2nd years plenary presentation: Plenary presenters need to send Staff slides. Send your most current version. This is provided to the AV coordinator for review for set up at the meeting. Any new version needs to be given to the AV coordinator by registration at the meeting day 1.

Nov 7:
For 2nd years poster presentation: Poster presenters need to send posters to Staff for printing. Additionally, the NPO sends your posters to reviewers who need to see them in advance of the meeting. If you submit after this deadline, we cannot guarantee that your poster will be printed and arrive at the meeting in time.
Nov 13: Off to the Annual National Meeting! Location: Yale University New Haven, CT Omni – New Haven Meeting website: TBA Make contacts! Make the most out of this opportunity but reviewing the attendance list of the meeting in advance. Contact faculty and speakers and other scholars in advance to set up times to get together during the meeting (see meeting agenda too). Logistics: 1) See flight options from Staff. Taking any red-eye flight prior to the meeting start is strongly discouraged. 2) Did you get your email confirmation information of your registration and review it to make sure it is correct? (If you do not get this the week of Oct 17, please talk to Staff ASAP) 3) All scholars are responsible for checking in with a credit card and checking out of the hotel by checkout time. At check out, scholars will be required to provide payment for the room and meal plan. Our Fund Manager paid a deposit and you will be responsible for paying about 1/2 of the full bill (about $700). Upon return to the office, please give all ORIGINAL receipts to the Fund Manager for reimbursement. 4) Scholars rooming together MUST BOTH register at the front desk. The hotel needs to know that both parties are present for security purposes and to ensure the meal plan is billed properly. 5) The program will not reimburse for any food/beverage expenses during the meal plan period. We are also not allowed to reimburse movies, phone calls, or room service during the meal plan period. Agenda: * Scholars Training Day Agenda and Full Meeting Agenda are available here: TBA. *There is also info on presentation abstracts and meeting participants. You are strongly encouraged to review this information prior to the meeting. Please take some time to see who
55
is coming to the meeting and review their bios on line or in the booklet (who do you really want to meet and seek them out). Presentations: Posters: Staff will put up posters at the meeting. Podiums: Send Staff updates to your PPT slides ASAP. You may have a chance to update your slides in the speaker ready room at 11:30 AM on Monday, Nov 14. It will not be possible to update your slides after Monday. However, the room will also be available for practice Tue-Thu by arrangement with our AV support staff person, TBA. Common Interest Sessions: Common Interest Sessions are informal small group discussions re: various topics of interest. Scholars suggest a topic and facilitate the discussion. They also invite faculty, alumni, and speakers who may provide special insight and are already attending the meeting on the specific day/time scheduled for the session. Specialty groups usually set up a session (e.g. surgeons, emergency medicine, pediatricians) and titles of past groups are attached below.1) Did you invite faculty, alumni, community partners? Check out the agenda for people and/or the attached meeting attendance list for info on who is attending the meeting. 2) Prepare a few questions/ discussion topics to get the discussion started. 3) Remember to end the session a few minutes early so people can get to the next session on time.4) If the group would like to continue discussion beyond the allotted time on the schedule they can find times later on in the meeting to meet.5) See meeting booklet for your assigned session date. Meeting Highlights: 1) The hospitality suite where you can hang out with scholars and other meeting guests is available every night of the meeting after dinner until ~11 PM. 2) Attending the National Meeting receptions (30-60 min prior to dinner) where alcohol is served is optional if attending conflicts with your religious beliefs. Deciding not to attend has no negative consequences since other networking time is available on the agenda. 3) All Scholars are expected to fully participate in all meeting activities starting with breakfast at 7 AM until dinner, which usually ends around 9 PM. You may also have more time to meet scholars, alumni, and faculty at the hospitality suite after dinner. After the meeting and INFO ON CME CREDITS: Scholars will receive an email after the meeting ends with links to fill out the meeting evaluation form and the CME registration form to obtain CME credit for attendance to the meeting. The planning committee reads all comments and reflects so it's important to provide your feedback. You will not receive CME credits unless you sign up to get them after you complete the evaluation form. CME certificates will be sent to you 4-6 weeks after the meeting.

UCLA NATIONAL CLINICIAN SCHOLARS PROGRAM (UCLA NCSP) ADVISOR-ADVISEE CONTRACT We, the undersigned, have agreed to work together on a research project. Because of the potential for misunderstandings inherent in such a partnership, we are setting forth our expectations and responsibilities. This, we hope, will avoid as many problems as possible. 1) The advisor and advisee should determine a major interest for investigation within the first six months of the Scholar's program. The Scholar's interests are of predominant importance in this task, but the project should be of interest to the advisor as well. If the interests of advisor and advisee do not coincide, one of the Program Directors should be notified, and a new advisor chosen by the advisee. 2) Once an area of interest is agreed upon, the Scholar should submit a three to four page description of a possible project to the advisor. The advisor should then provide a brief written critique assessing the project's feasibility and significance. Should the advisor feel that the project is lacking in either area, an attempt should be made to change it. Should agreement still not be reached on these issues, the advisor is not obliged to participate further. A brief written explanation of the advisor's reasons for turning down the project should then be prepared and given to both the Scholar and one of the Program Directors. A project should be agreed upon by the end of the Scholar's first year. 3.) Once both the advisor and advisee accept a description of a project, they should establish a timetable for its completion. Projects likely to extend beyond the two years of the UCLA NCSP should only be undertaken if provision for their completion can be made, such as a plan to apply for further fellowship training. The timetable should include: a) date of proposal submission; b) dates of data gathering, if relevant; c) dates of data analysis; and d) projected date of completion of a final report, or of submission of a paper for publication or presentation. It is understood by both advisor and advisee that the product(s) of all Clinician Scholars are to be made public through publications, meetings, reports, presentations and other venues for dissemination. 4) The UCLA NCSP takes no formal position on co-authorship. Therefore, prior to submission of a formal research proposal to the Research Advisory Committee advisor and advisee should make tentative plans regarding co-authorship of articles arising from the project. They should recognize that the advisor's co-authorship implies an increased degree of responsibility and control for the advisor, which may or may not be desirable. 5) Both advisor and advisee can use data, which have been collected under this contract. The advisee has first access to the data for analysis or for publication, and initially no other use may be made of it without the advisee's consent. The advisee forfeits control over the data, however, if he or she does not submit a paper for publication within one year after data collection has stopped. If the advisee makes no such effort, the advisor may use the data as the
57
advisor sees fit. Under such circumstances, the advisee is obligated to provide the advisor with the data and with any information needed for processing it. The advisee, however, must be included as a secondary author on papers published under such conditions. Implicit in these provisions is the recognition that the investigator has a serious ethical responsibility for making public the results of his or her study. This is particularly true in view of the time and effort spent on the project by others, including the subjects of investigation. 6) Advisees with advisors not belonging to the core UCLA NCSP faculty (as defined and listed by the UCLA NCSP Directors) must recognize that choosing a non-UCLA NCSP advisor ("outside" supervisor) creates special responsibilities as well as special opportunities for both people. It is clear that the exact working relationships between program advisors, "outside" advisors, and advisees will vary. Nevertheless, the program advisor is always responsible for assessing a project's feasibility and significance, and the Scholar must still submit a project description and project timetable to his or her program advisor(s). Whenever a significant disagreement occurs between an outside advisor and a program advisor over project feasibility or significance, a brief written opinion should be submitted by each advisor to the Program Directors. Once the two advisors and their advisee have agreed on a project, all three people should meet together at least once every two months. Meetings with the main academic advisor should be two times a month at a minimum. The Program Directors have the responsibility of monitoring such meetings, and of discussing with the advisor(s) any problems as they develop. 7) In starting a project, both advisor and advisee obligate themselves to a series of regular meetings regarding it. Should either be unavailable for important meetings, including meetings with outside consultants when appropriate, the Program Director should be notified. 8) The Scholar can expect the advisor to monitor the progress of the project so as to identify and help correct problems with it as early as possible. When the project is successfully completed, the Scholar can expect the advisor to help with preparations for publication, abstract submission, and notification of meetings at which the project might be presented. The advisor should help in preparing for the meetings at which the work is presented and, if possible, should attend such meetings. 9) The Research Advisory Committee should monitor the above contracts at least twice a year.

The Main Research Project and Operations In Year 2, Scholars are expected to conduct a main research project, or “protocol project.” The protocol project involves: organizing a multidisciplinary research team, meeting with community and policy advisory board members, developing a research protocol and IRB application and organizing a research protocol committee. The primary research mentor should help guide this process. For many Scholars, the protocol project (a.k.a. main project) is an extension of either their community project from HS266A/B course or their policy paper from HS200A/B. The Protocol Project 1) Organize a Multidisciplinary Research Team for Protocol Project Purpose: Get advice on development of protocol (design, methods, analysis, budget) When: by December – March of year 1 a. 3 primary research advisors must include: • 1 MD/PhD-Nursing Faculty: this is the primary research mentor, which may be in scholar’s discipline but not required. This primary mentor should help identify/assemble the rest of the committee. • 1 Ph.D. Faculty: social science mentor or research methods mentor in other disciplines that are critical for the success of project, e.g. statistician, media expert, economist, anthropologist, etc. • 1 Community Mentor b. 1 home department representative, if not already a research advisor, must also be included in the committee. A program director also needs to be included in the meeting. c. Research Protocol Committee Members must have interest, skills and expertise in Scholar’s proposed work to facilitate project development. These primary mentors approve a draft before the protocol meeting. 2) Meet with Community and Policy Committee members about Research Project’s Community and Policy Relevance Purpose: Discuss community and policy relevance of project When: Mid/late in protocol development (usually in the summer of second year) so suggestions can be incorporated in protocol a. Scholars meet with 2-3 people as a group or individually in an informal setting to discuss the community and policy relevance of the project. Scholars may select from our program advisory boards listed in this manual or select leadership in our environment or beyond to review their project and obtain feedback. b. At least 1 person from a relevant community organization must be included. c. Multidisciplinary research team members or others already familiar with scholar’s research project are not expected to attend this meeting. d. The primary research mentor should guide the process of selecting who should attend this meeting. 67
e. After the meeting submit summary of meeting in your Career Development Plan 3) Develop Research Protocol Proposal When: begin drafting by Spring of year 1 Use the categories in the research plan section of the in NIH PHS 398 which includes 10 doublespaced pages for Section 4. Relevant excerpts of the NIH PHS 398 – click here Presentations and Protocol Proposal samples – click here 1) Project Summary 2) Relevance 3) Specific Aims 4) Research Strategy (Significance, Innovation, Approach) 5) Bibliography and References 6) Protection of Human Subjects Plan 7) Budget and Justification 8) Proposed Timeline for Project Completion 9) Draft of data collection tools or plan to develop them The primary research mentor should “sign off” on the protocol and proposed budget before it is circulated to the Research Advisory Board for feedback. 4) Develop IRB application When: Drafting at the same time as protocol (Spring of year 1 or early summer of year 2), submitted ASAP after protocol is finalized. Based on the scholar’s judgment and if advisor also feels that the protocol is well-developed and thinks that there will not be substantive changes in the protocol meeting, the IRB application may be submitted prior to the Protocol Meeting especially if the project involves vulnerable populations or sensitive topics that require a more prolonged or detailed IRB review. Remember, the project cannot be implemented without the approval of both IRB and the protocol committee. If there are changes to the study design from the protocol meeting an addendum outlining the changes can then be submitted to the IRB. a. Draft the IRB application with primary research mentor. Please note the scholars’ projects are considered RAND engaged and may be eligible for deferral for RAND review. b. Review with program Staff and then the final draft must be reviewed by program leadership or your primary research mentor. c. Multiple IRB submissions may be required. Primary research mentors and program staff will guide Scholars toward the correct IRB institution. For non-VA Scholars, a UCLA/RAND IRB agreement allows you have the option between RAND or UCLA IRB review if your project meets certain requirements. VA Scholars are required to submit an application to the VA IRB and the UCLA IRB review is required in order to expedite the VA review process. For community partnered projects, sites may have their own IRB & you need to apply there in addition to UCLA. d. No data collection or analysis can begin until IRB approval is finalized. This may take at least 2-3 months except in special circumstances.
68
e. If your project requires incentives for research participants, please note that the process takes 2-3 months after IRB approval and forms are submitted to the accounting office. Remember to work this into your project timeline. 5) Organize Research Protocol Committee Meeting Purpose: Provide forum for review, revision and approval: check on design, methods, analysis, and significance When: By October 1 of year 2 a. Research Protocol Committee participates in the review, revision, and approval process so that the work can move forward. b. Research Protocol Committee should be assembled early. The committee must include: • 3 primary research advisors, at least 1 community/practice/policy partner must be present • 2 core research team faculty • At least 1 program director • 1 home department representative if not already a research advisor c. The protocol meeting is chaired by the main mentor. It is recommended that the Scholar meet with the main mentor to review these protocol proposal/meeting procedures early in the protocol writing process and before the meeting. d. Provide your list of committee members and their contact info as well as their assistant to program staff for support in scheduling your protocol committee meeting. People on this list must have already confirmed and agreed to participate as a committee member. Admin staff need 6-8 weeks prior to the target date of the protocol meeting for scheduling. Also include your availability or time blocks for the meeting. e. The primary research mentors should sign off on the research protocol proposal prior to distribution. At least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled research protocol committee meeting, scholars must distribute their research protocol proposal to their committee meeting members and cc administrative staff. The protocol will be distributed to the CSP Research Advisory Committee in order to obtain review from faculty and partners outside the committee. f. Meeting format: 2 hours • 15 min Scholar presentation: discuss why you chose the project, what you hope to learn, and how the results are likely to be used by you, the community, or others. • 60 min discussion. • 30 min committee discussion without scholar: revision if needed and conditional final approval. • 15 min summary of recommendations. g. Via written correspondence, the protocol committee will provide a score and comments to which scholars must respond in writing to the committee. Scores are as follows: 1) complete approval, 2) approval with minor modifications, 3) resubmit for review due to major modifications. A response to comments is required in a 1-2 page summary, which should describe how to implement recommendations or a rational for declining a recommendation. Further, changes must be included in the protocol proposal & submitted with tracked changes.
69
6) Sample Budget TIP: Best to use excel for automatic calculations. Below are sample budgets that you may have for your fellowship activities including the main research project, other projects and a policy elective. Not all scholars have all these expenses. Work with Program Staff to craft your budget and to understand budget limitations. The one that is included in the main research project and protocol proposal is listed first. However, creating a full budget with all the expenses for your fellowship time is also needed. Main Research Project Brief project activities: 15 min survey (n=200); 60 min qualitative interview (n=20) Line Item Budget and Justification Rate Amount RA: administer surveys, data entry, follow-up calls $17/hr $3,400 Estimated 10 hours per week of 20 weeks RA Benefits 3% $102 Survey Participant Incentives (200 people; Target gift $15 $3,000 cards) Interview Transcription (20 1 hour interviews, English) $35 per hour $2,100 (3 hours transcription time/1 audio hour) Interview Participant Incentives (20 people; Target gift $50 $1,000 cards) TOTAL $9,602 Other Project Data Analysis of JAMS data to understand impact of child health on adult outcomes over the life course Data 1945-2015 (71 years) $25 per year $1,775 Data Analyst – Mei Leng (program staff) $0 Policy Elective Brief summary of elective and location Lodging for 2 months $1000 Flight RT to DC-LAX $500 TOTAL $1500 Scientific Travel E.g. Annual National Meeting of Specialty Society Registration $500 Flight RT $500 Lodging – 3 nights $200 $600 Meals - $50 per day for 4 days $50 $200 TOTAL $1,800 GRAND TOTAL $14,677 70

7) Allow enough time for obtaining incentives for research participants The IRB approval is required in order to purchase incentives at UCLA. The IRB approval may take 4 weeks or more from the time of submission. It takes UCLA 6-8 weeks to process incentives. IRB time plus incentives time = about 3 months or more. 8) Project Budgets Talk with program staff re: your budget in advance. We review your budget with you and obtain Program Director approval. Please send a line item budget for expenses for this project. Nothing fancy but need some details such as below. Travel budgets should include registration, ground transportation, meals during travel, lodging. Keep in touch with program staff about updates and changes to your budget. It is important that we are connected with your spending plan to ensure that our projections and tracking are accurate. 9) Hiring Research Assistants Make sure to meet up with program staff if you need to brainstorm the type/amount of RA time needed for your project. For help with finding someone, we can post an announcement at various schools at UCLA (like Public Health and Education, etc) and we can also post a job at the UCLA jobs website or the undergraduate work study jobs website. Please send us a job description. Samples are can be found here - be sure you have all the elements in yours that are included in the sample. Once you interview candidates and make your decision on who to hire, let program staff know and we will get the hiring paperwork started. New hires need to come in and fill out paperwork and do a background check before they can begin work. This process usually takes 2-4 weeks so please get this started early. VERY IMPORTANT: To end an appointment of an employee, we must submit the final timesheet and notify Karen at least 2 business days (but more notice like a week is better) prior to the actual last day of work. For example, if “Jim’s" last work day is Tues July 19, we need to submit the final timesheet and notify Karen by Fri July 15 MORNING. HR tells us we are violating UCLA and CA human resources regulations and if we continue to be delinquent, we will be fined. 10) Transcription We usually use a company called Keystrokes. You upload your audio files in the protected website below and then they send you the transcripts and send us the bill. Grace H. Kono-Wells Keystrokes, 1119 Colorado Ave. Suite 104, Santa Monica, CA 90401 Tel: (310) 829-3272 Fax: (310) 829-5872 grace@keystrokesbsc.com

For uploading audio files: http://www.keystrokesbsc.com/upload.html 11) Software Your computer will be issued to you with Microsoft Office Suite, SAS, and Stata. If you need anything else such as a qualitative data analysis software, please consult with your mentor to decide on software that will suit your needs. Then let Staff know for purchase. This expense should be added to your budget. 12) Biostatistical Support Our Biostat group is a shared resource among 20 scholars. To obtain biostat support, submit an analysis plan to Staff for triaging your request to an appropriate team member. The analysis plan should include the following items. It is understood that the plan that you submit is a draft, which will be refined as needed. It is to your advantage to send your request as soon as possible for planning or in case we need to call on other resources. Study Title: Study Question: Hypotheses: Background: Dependent Variable(s) and Source: Independent Variable(s) and Source: Covariates: Planned Analyses: Proposed time line: CSP’s Biostatistical Support includes: • Neil Steers (nsteers@mednet.ucla.edu) is an Adjunct Associate Professor who is a social psychologist by training and has over 15 years experience analyzing complex data sets, scaling analyses, excellent knowledge of statistics and programming packages. • Chi-Hong Tseng (ctseng@mednet.ucla.edu) is an Assistant Professor who received his Ph.D in Biostatistics from UCLA in 2004. His research interest includes design of clinical trials, survival analysis, multiple comparisons problem, and statistical genetics. • Mei Leng (mleng@mednet.ucla.edu) is a Senior Statistician with extensive programming and analysis experience with numerous datasets. Support for Classwork vs. Projects/Publications: If Scholars are requesting support for projects for a class and the professor expects the students to do their own programming, then Scholars need to do the programming and our biostat support serve in a consultative role. If Scholars 72
are allowed to use programmers then the Program can provide support at that level. If the goal is to conduct the analyses and report writing at a level where the report can be submitted for a peer reviewed publication, then it is okay to get biostat support input and help after the paper has been turned in for the class but before the analyses are refined and improved for publication. 13) Survey Data Collection Tool The program currently has a subscription for an online survey software called, Qualtrics. Please let us know if you would like to use it for your project. For more information, see: https://Qualtrics.com
