Research is a driver of evidence-based practice across the region and at each of our institutions. Individual research studies can impact the treatment of disease and patient outcomes. Research centers, like members of the NW PCI Network, can impact how research is conducted collectively across all studies that pass through our doors. Our 10th NW PCI Network Annual Meeting will focus on how we, as a network, can expand engagement of our patients and research volunteers and strengthen the scientific rigor and generalizability of our best practices. Come prepared to be both a learner and a teacher as we continue our journey into the next decade!
We all know the perspectives of patients and research participants are critical to ensure the quality of research at our institutions. We want to hear their voices, too!
ITHS will support travel and one night of lodging (unless travel requires two nights) for one site champion and up to two research participants from each NW PCI member site. ITHS will cover your airfare and lodging, as well as related travel expenses (i.e., ground transportation, per diem and airport parking). Additional representatives from your organization are welcome to attend at their own expense.

Dr. Bonnie Ramsey is an Endowed Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington. She is a pediatric pulmonologist and clinical scientist with over 30 years of experience in translational research and therapeutic development in the field of cystic fibrosis (CF). She was a lead investigator for development of key therapies in CF including inhaled tobramycin, dornase alpha, and ivacaftor. She has been acknowledged for her contributions to CF including the Paul D’Sant Agnese Award (1998) and the Lifetime Achievement Award (2013) from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Thoracic Society (2014), elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2015, and received the Warren Alpert Foundation Prize (2018). As the Vice Chair for Research, Dr Ramsey plays a key role in faculty mentorship programs.
Margaret Rosenfeld is a pediatric pulmonologist, Professor and Associate Vice Chair for Clinical Research, Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington School of Medicine and co-Director of the Center for Clinical and Translational Research at the Seattle Children’s Research Institute. Her research program focuses on multicenter clinical trials and observational studies in children with cystic fibrosis and other chronic lung diseases of childhood, with an emphasis on early intervention strategies. She is the physician liaison to the Department of Health for CF newborn screening. She also researches mobile health tools as endpoints for remote clinical trials that could increase access to trials and decrease the burden of participation.
Marilyn Hanley
I have had breast cancer twice in 8 years (2011 and 2019), and a family history, which includes cervical, ovarian, breast, bone, colon, and lung cancers. I, my mother and siblings also have a history of basal and squamous cell cancers.
I have five children from the ages of 37-43 and six grandchildren. I enjoy volunteering and in 2003, I was the National Volunteer in the United States for Soccer. I enjoy volunteering and my highlights include: Schools where my children and grandchildren attended, Melbourne Children’s Hospital, in Melbourne, Australia, Helen Keller School for the Blind in Santiago, Chile, (I taught English to the boarding students – which was interesting, as I spoke no Spanish), two orphanages in Chile, a docent at the Holocaust Museum in Seattle and tours to grade school children at Pike Place Market in Seattle.
Robert Zador
Cherese Pullum, MS, RN, CCRC
She joined the MultiCare Institute for Research & Innovation in 2022 as the director of clinical research to return to a community-based setting. She is excited to assist the research workforce, research participants and providers with navigating and demystifying clinical research with an eye toward diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Annie Reedy, CRA, MBA
“It is my life’s passion to help physicians, nurses and other health care providers fulfill their desire to push on the status quo, changing the state of health in our communities and improving the way care is delivered. Every patient facing a health challenge should have access to new medications that might — and often do — make a positive difference in their lives.
“Additionally, it’s my goal to attract and retain top doctors in the communities MultiCare serves by providing research and educational opportunities for our physicians, residents, fellows and other medical students.”

The Optimizing Implementation in Cancer Control Center (OPTICC) Center is conducting a brief survey to understand the cancer control priorities among our partners. The information gathered from this survey will help inform OPTICC Center activities and research pilot projects topic areas. Please find a link to the survey here: https://redcap.iths.org/surveys/?s=P3P87FTHAFC7JN83. One survey per organization would be great, though many can collaborate on the answers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the OPTICC I-Lab project manager, Ashley Johnson (ashleyj5@uw.edu).

The Northwest Participant and Clinical Interactions (NW PCI) Network is a collaboration of regional translational research hubs located across the five-state WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) region. This Network connects diverse populations to local, high-quality clinical research by building research partnerships between investigators, clinicians and clinical organizations. Through these partnerships, patients can participate in and benefit from research studies near their homes, and clinicians and health care administrators can collaborate on research studies with minimal interruptions to clinical operations and facilitate research conducted in real-world health care settings.
