Examining factors that contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in liver cancer with a multi-institutional, EHR-based epidemiologic cohort linked to population-based cancer registries.
Mindy Hébert-DeRouen, PhD, MPH
Assistant Professor Department of Public Health Sciences
College of Health, Education, and Social Transformation New Mexico State University
Use of EHR-based cohorts for research requires informed extraction, harmonization, and operationalization of EHR data. Dr. Hebert-DeRouen will describe the development of an EHR-based cohort with data from three healthcare systems linked to population-based cancer registry data to examine clinical and neighborhood factors that contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in liver cancer. She will detail operationalization of detailed race/ethnicity (17 categories) and liver cancer risk factors from EHR data; illustrate the utility of linking EHR data to cancer registry data; and present results on racial/ethnic disparities in liver cancer as well as the relative prevalence and contribution of risk factors to liver cancer diagnosis across racial/ethnic groups.

Restricted-Use Federal Data for Health Research
Jani Little, PhD, Director, Rocky Mountain Research Data Center, Senior Research Associate, Institute of Behavioral Science, University of Colorado Boulder and Laura Argys, PhD Professor of Economics, University of Colorado Denver.
Through the Federal Statistical Research Data Center (FSRDC) program, approved university researchers gain access to national collections of population and healthdata collected internally and confidentially by federal statistical agencies. These data are NOT otherwise available for public use. Professor Laura Argys and Dr. Jani Little will provide an overview of restricted-use microdata resources, along with example research projects, and thought- provoking ideas for future research.

NM-INBRE At A Glance
New Mexico INBRE champions biomedical and community-based research excellence in the state of New Mexico through the development of innovative, supportive and sustainable research environments for faculty and students, community engaging health initiatives, while building a network of lead scientists and educators at the state, regional and national level.
RAIN
A collaborative effort of the Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming INBRE programs. That expands resource capabilities to address overlapping science questions specific to each state’s thematic umbrella.
Developmental Research Project Program
The programs mission is to create supportive research and training environments, facilitate communications & collaborations among participants, and provide access to core facilites
NISE
New Mexico INBRE Student Experience also known as NISE is an 8 week research experience that features four diffrent programs for students to apply to.
New Mexico IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research (INBRE) is housed at New Mexico State University, and collaborates with more than 10 partner institutions across the state. One of the goals of the funding is to continue building a nationwide, multi-disciplinary research network that will enhance the biomedical research base with lead scientists, educators and students.
