      translational research web-portal: the role of focus groups.

AB  - The Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) Research Centers in Minority Institutions 
      (RCMI) Center of Excellence in Clinical and Translational Research has developed 
      a research web-portal to foster research development and collaborations. We 
      describe the role of focus groups (FG). Research faculty and staff were organized 
      into three groups by research interest. Each FG discussion had five steps: 
      Brainstorming, Reporting, Card-sorting, Priority-setting, and Discussions. 
      Integration of top priorities across each FG culminated in a final 
      priority-setting step. Each FG generated 45 to 50 unique ideas during 
      brainstorming that were categorized into 10 to 12 unique categories. Final 
      priority-setting captured six top items for the initial design of the portal: 
      ability to identify researchers working on similar research; common data 
      management tools; access to clinical trials information; participant recruitment 
      tools; secure access to research databases; and financial support. Focus groups 
      allowed for a discovery period that generated common themes for the design and 
      customization of the web-portal.
