Advancing Health Equity Through Culture-Centered Dietary Interventions to Address Chronic Diseases Virtual Workshop (Day 2)
Goals and Key Audience: Objectives: 1. Identify gaps and opportunities for research on the cultural adaptation of evidence-based dietary approaches (e.g., DASH and Mediterranean Diet) to address diet-related diseases in racial/ethnic populations; 2. Understand dietary acculturation and its influence on the development and effectiveness of dietary interventions among diverse immigrant populations; 3. Interrogate the influence of dietary acculturation on the gut microbiome, and understand gut microbiome response to traditional and evidence-based diets. Need and Justification: Adherence to evidence-based dietary approaches, s...

Pain in Animals Workshop 2023 (Day 2)
Annually millions of people and animals suffer from chronic and acute pain. The challenge is to accurately measure this pain in order to develop analgesics for treatment. Along with the welfare concerns of animals and people being in pain, there is the need to develop new and effective analgesic options that may offer alternatives to opioids. The Pain in Animals Workshop (PAW) meetings are held every other year in partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), bringing key stakeholders together to better understand pain in animals and humans. The 2-day workshop will be held on Sept 26-27th and is open to academi...

Battling the Matthew Effect: Can Search Results be Fair?
Search engines are mediators between producers and consumers of information, and the order in which an engine presents its results affects both stakeholder groups in significant ways (e.g., economic livelihood). Top-ranked items provide their producers with much more exposure to the consumer than do lower-ranked items. If a search engine repeatedly returns comparably relevant items in the same order, the rich (more exposed) items will keep getting richer while lower-ranked items will get less and less relative exposure.
The Text REtrieval Conference (TREC, trec.nist.gov) project at NIST contained a Fair Ranking track from...

HDIG Workshop NIH Research Festival
Race and ethnicity are social constructs – meaning they were created for social and political reasons and do not accurately reflect inherent differences in human biology. The existence of racial and ethnic categories is closely linked to United States history. They are also conflated with cultures that people identify with and share, but often group together people with diverse cultural heritages. Meanwhile, self-identified race and ethnicity can be incongruent with socially assigned race and ethnicity, and how individuals are being treated in society appears to depend on socially assigned race and ethnicity. To add furt...

OHRP Exploratory Workshop 2023 - Exploring the Ethical and Practical Considerations of Psychedelics Research
Psychedelics are powerful psychoactive substances that alter perception and mood and affect numerous cognitive processes. Their origins predate written history, and early cultures used them in many sociocultural and ritual contexts. The name ‘ psychedelics ’ was coined by Humphrey Osmond in 1957, suggesting that they have a mind-manifesting capability that may reveal useful or beneficial properties of the mind. For decades, psychedelics have been classified as illegal drugs. Recent research suggests that these substances may provide a potential breakthrough in the treatment of a myriad of mental health conditions. This...
