Faith based medical research organization bringing innovative treatment to patients through basic science, clinical trials, and health care effectiveness and quality of care research.
About
See Schedule OEstablished in 1984, Baylor Research Institute dba Baylor Scott & White Research Institute (BSW Research) is responsible for the oversight and management of all bench and clinical research conducted throughout the Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) system.BSW Research expanded its operations in 2013 as part of the merger between Dallas-based Baylor Health Care System and Temple-based Scott & White Healthcare, which created BSWH the largest nonprofit health system in Texas. BSWH operates as an integrated care delivery network of approximately 48,000 employees more than 7,500 physicians, and includes 50 hospitals, 541 specialty care clinics, 180 primary care clinics, 199 satellite outpatient clinics, and 28 ambulatory surgery centers, as well as the Scott and White Health Plan, BSW Research Institute and Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance. BSW Research brings innovation to the forefront of medicine. From discovering new therapies that enhance available treatment options, to studying population health and other trends that improve quality of care, we pursue research focused on bringing patients greater value and addressing the health needs of the communities we serve. We are dedicated to advancing healthcare and ultimately, patient care, through the study and discovery of new preventive therapies and treatments for a broad spectrum of diseases and other chronic conditions. This means our efforts extend beyond microscopic studies; they bring innovation to the patient's bedside. We focus on understanding the base of a disease or condition, in order to then identify potential treatments or preventive therapies, and enroll patients in research trials to further test and / or validate each theory.BSW Research is home to a rich network of 1,100 team members operating within two administrative offices (Dallas and Temple), four clinical trials offices (Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano and Temple) and directly within various BSW research centers, hospitals and clinics. Research staff include principal investigators, contracts and finance specialists, compliance and regulatory specialists, research coordinators, nurses, managers and directors, data analysts and lab assistants, among others. The group oversees research activities supporting nearly 2,000 trials in more than 60 specialty areas annually, including cardiology and vascular, gastroenterology, neurology, oncology and radiation, orthopedics, pathology, radiology, transplant and surgery. Research conducted by and supported by our organization is regularly published in major scientific journals and reported at medical and scientific meetings. This work has also resulted in more than 500 issued and pending patents spanning immunotherapy, genomics, biomarkers, metabolomics, metabolics, cardiovascular disease and medical devices. The following is a brief snapshot of select clinical, translational and applied health research programs and activities led through BSW Research:Cardiovascular research: BSW Research holds a robust cardiovascular portfolio with study enrollment activities spanning nine BSWH sites, including our flagship cardiovascular programs at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital - Plano, Baylor Scott & White Heart & Vascular Hospital - Dallas, Soltero Cardiovascular Research Center and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple. BSW Research is accredited by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP), which is a voluntary, peer-driven and educationally-based model of accreditation. Each year, we enroll and monitor hundreds of patients as part of major clinical trials examining therapeutic and surgical approaches and outcomes, new medications and new devices. Our cardiovascular research portfolio supports trials spanning: - Atrial Fibrillation - Vascular/TAA conditions - Heart Failure Transplant - Heart Rhythm Disorders - Hypercholesterolemia - Aortic Valve Disorders - Cardiorenal Syndrome - Electrophysiology - Coronary Artery Disease - Mitral Valve Disorders Oncology research: For nearly 40 years, we have been at the forefront of cancer care and research providing personalized, comprehensive and compassionate care for patients with all types of cancers. BSWH supports a sizeable cancer patient volume and stands out among other programs in the country for its clinical care and its clinical research, which takes places at locations including the Round Rock Cancer Center, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple, and Baylor Scott & White Charles A. Sammons Cancer Centers. BSW Research conducts clinical trials aimed at advanced screenings, prevention, diagnostic, and treatment options to ensure our efforts align with advancing the best in class services offered at BSWH. We run multiple trials across BSWH, including cutting-edge first-in-human CAR-T cell, dendritic vaccine, and Phase I, II and III combination-checkpoint inhibitor studies. Additionally, we have thousands of patients receiving the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab and durvalumab, and the CTLA-4 inhibitor ipilimumab for a broad number of malignancies. Applied health research: The Center for Applied Health Research (CAHR) supports investigator-initiated research to generate applied health knowledge across our healthcare system. CAHR is a collaborative, multidisciplinary research center within BSW Research. CAHR brings together clinicians, educators and researchers with expertise in areas such as health services research, administrative data extraction and reduction, derivation of care and outcome measures from archival medical records, community-based health research, statistical analysis, research mentoring, patient-centered safety, patient activation research and academic development of clinicians. Current CAHR programs include: - Development and testing of innovative care models within health care and community settings - Impact of care delivery on the health and well-being of individuals and families - The larger impact of health programs on population health CAHR's target populations include older adults, persons living with dementia and their caregivers, individuals with multiple chronic conditions, vulnerable populations and veterans. Our diverse research programs demonstrate collaborative efforts with various organizations, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas A&M Health Science Center, national foundations and numerous health oriented community-based organizations across Texas. Trauma and behavioral health research: BSW Research supports trauma and behavioral health research across multiple sites. One example of this work is found in the Warriors Research Institute (WRI). WRI's mission is to improve the quality of care available to military veterans and emergency responders via a program of scientific inquiry. Through BSW Research, WRI develops and disseminates new treatments for those suffering the sequelae of toxic or traumatic work events. In addition to providing and evaluating state-of-the-art experimental treatments, we train future generations of treatment providers in evolving evidence-based care. WRI researchers have participated in 12 research projects, yielding over 40 manuscripts. Additionally, WRI staff have been involved in over 100 presentations nationally and internationally. WRI leaders continue to foster WRI's growth beyond traditional research programs by also mentoring staff and volunteers, serving on 11 boards, committees, and panels, and consulting for the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) and the National Development and Research Institutes (NDRI).Transplant research - Our research efforts around transplantation take place at multiple sites including Baylor University Medical Center and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple. This research continues to hit major milestones and research firsts. The transplant program has not only completed the first two successful living donor uterine transplants resulting in two healthy live births in the United States, but the program was expanded to a second phase for 10 additional participants. BSW Research also has multiple trials underway studying transplant procedures and post-op care, as well as addressing transplant waitlists and organ shortages. These include an investigator-initiated study around HCV heart transplants and a similar study on the use of HCV liver transplants. Additionally, teams at BSW Research are studying therapeutic treatment options for patients currently on waitlists who experience overt hepatic encephalopathy and other common conditions resulting from the need for transplant.
