<p>CarolynZyloney: </p> <hr /> <div>Back to [[Collaboration:Harvard_CTSC|Collaboration:Harvard_CTSC]]<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> '''Action Items (details below)''<br /> <br /> # All Consortium members are invited to distribute the final version of the [[Media:Catalyst_ImagingIT_Engineer.doc‎‎‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] to potential candidates. <br /> # The consortium must decide who will attend the joint IRAT/CTSA meeting in Baltimore (March 29-31)<br /> # Consortium members are asked to gather information on the dates of the Radiology Department meetings for the next t-con. <br /> <br /> == Harvard Translational Imaging Consortium Meeting Minutes January 27, 2009 ==<br /> <br /> In Attendance (in person):<br /> * Randy Gollub <br /> * Carolyn Zyloney<br /> * Gordon Harris<br /> * Valerie Humblet<br /> * Robert Lenkinski<br /> * Bill Hanlon<br /> * Stephan Voss<br /> * Simon Warfield<br /> * Annick D. Van den Abbeele<br /> * Laura Alice<br /> * Clare Tempany<br /> * Ron Kikinis<br /> * Sarah McMordie<br /> In attendance (by phone)<br /> * Gordon Williams<br /> * Jeff Yapp<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''1. IRAT/CTSA Joint Workshop March 29-31,2009 in Baltimore'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Several members have been invited by Dan Sullivan, and 6 Consortium members plan to attend the meeting. Because there will be overlapping sessions, it is necessary that have multiple members attending.<br /> * The travel costs for the invited speakers are covered. For the others members there is enough funding from the Catalyst.<br /> * The consortium decided Valerie should also go to the meeting.<br /> * Ron suggested that it is important for a consortium member to give a presentation about the Harvard CTSC IT infrastructure and proposal.<br /> ** Randy and Bill are both willing to give a talk about it. The group also agreed to invite Shawn Murphy to attend, or help draft our IT presentation for the workshop.<br /> ** The picture of what this infrastructure could bring to physicians (e.g. integration of XNAT/i2b2 with the PACs systems) should not be omitted.<br /> * Bob wants someone to represent the MRI group because there is still a lot of controversy on how to acquire data in the MRI community. <br /> ** Stephan Voss volunteered to do it. Randy also suggested that the group invite Karl Helmer to attend, since he is an expert on multi-site, cross-field strength and cross-vendor MR calibration studies.<br /> ** It is important to get information about multi-center trials. There is a lot of money invested to work on these multicenters.<br /> * Valerie will distribute a summary of who is going to the meeting and what they will present or what sessions they plan to attend. The members will then be able to see if there is an area of interest not covered and eventually ask one more member to go to the meeting.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. XNAT Engineer Position'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Hiring an XNAT engineer is a top priority for the Imaging Consortium and the group agreed that a skilled candidate should be hired as soon as possible. Gordon Williams insisted that we must hired someone rapidly to ensure that Catalyst Central will still have the resources to support this position. <br /> <br /> * Simon agreed to host the position at Children's Hospital and be the manager. <br /> * Laura and Simon will post it on the Children's Hospital Web site.<br /> * So far 1 application was received and posted on the xythos web site.<br /> * Bill has received a second application and Valerie will post the information on the xythos web site.<br /> * In order to keep the money allowed for the position, Ron suggested hired someone already in place to start the work while the members continue the hiring process.<br /> * The group agreed that hiring a full time employee is preferable to contracting this work to a consultant. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Reporting consulting contacts'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy asked that any imaging consultations, even informal or verbal, be reported to Valerie with a brief explanation (name of the person seeking the consultation, date the request was received, consortium members who participated in handling the request, topic of the request, and any information on the outcome of the consultation, if available). She will keep track for the Consortium and later transfer the data to Catalyst central.<br /> * Valerie will work on a simple online form to report consults. It could be based on the model used by the genetics group. She will also ask Catalyst Central for some advice on a tracking tool for these consults.<br /> * The group agreed that consortium members should inform investigators seeking informal consultations about the imaging consultation service. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. Division Heads meetings'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy wants to launch the meetings asap. Catalyst Central will help with the design of the slides.<br /> * Members agreed that smaller meetings (ex: oncology, standing meetings with clinicians) are very important.<br /> * Valerie, Bruce or Randy and a site representative will attend the different meetings. Bill should join when it comes to IT meetings. <br /> * Valerie will start to collect data about the smaller meetings at the different sites and ask for our presentation to be added to the schedule.<br /> * Consortium is waiting for Bruce's feedback about his meeting with Zak Kohane regarding IT issues.<br /> * Some extra funding for the XNAT project may become available, Shawn Murphy is working on it.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''5. Update profile on Catalyst web site'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Catalyst website posts a profile on the consortium members based on information available through the Harvard White Pages, Pub Med, and several other sources.<br /> * Bob and Gordon Williams mentioned that many catalyst profiles are not updated. About 60% of the information (publications, ...) are not up to date. Catalyst Central would like to receive this updated data, and is also interested in posting links to the individual's lab website. <br /> * Valerie will help the consortium members to update their profile on the Catalyst web site.<br /> * Bob suggested implementing a research profile that members will update once a year.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''6. Imaging IT Proposal'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Imaging Group will present information on the existing informatics infrastructure and the IT proposal to the Divisions Chiefs and at the Department meetings. <br /> * The Consortium plans to continue working with the Catalyst IT Group and Zak Kohane on the issues involved in the proposal. <br /> * Successful implementation of the proposal involves solving issues regarding the institutional policy, such as HIPAA regulations and the policies regarding transfer of PHI.<br /> * Bruce suggested that the group already begin working with the IT departments to tackle one issue in the proposal. The group agreed that the first issue to be presented should be inter-institutional transfer of data.<br /> ** The difficulty with transferring data between the TIMC and Children's Hospital is a good case example of an informatics policy issue that the group wishes to solve.</div>

<p>CarolynZyloney: </p> <hr /> <div>Back to [[Collaboration:Harvard_CTSC|Collaboration:Harvard_CTSC]]<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> '''Action Items (details below)''<br /> <br /> # All Consortium members are invited to distribute the final version of the [[Media:Catalyst_ImagingIT_Engineer.doc‎‎‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] to potential candidates. <br /> # Some Consortium members are asked to contact the IT Departments at their institution to schedule a meeting<br /> <br /> == Harvard Translational Imaging Consortium Meeting Minutes January 20, 2009 ==<br /> <br /> In Attendance (via phone):<br /> * Carolyn Zyloney<br /> * Gordon Harris<br /> * Valerie Humblet<br /> * Robert Lenkinski<br /> * Jeff Yap<br /> * Bill Hanlon<br /> * Bruce Rosen<br /> * Stephan Voss<br /> * Simon Warfield<br /> * Annick D. Van den Abbeele<br /> * Gordon Williams<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''1. PowerPoint Presentation for the Divisions Heads meetings'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The group reviewed the latest version of the PowerPoint slides that were circulated via email.<br /> <br /> * The following comments were made:<br /> <br /> ** The role of the consultants will include mentoring young investigators on the proper use of technology and helping with the grants.<br /> ** Gordon (Williams?) talked about having two levels of mentors. Junior faculty will most likely contribute the most to the consultation service and can add their service on their resumes. More senior faculty members will likely be less involved but will provide a level of oversight. The goal of the Imaging Consortium is to recruit people from both experience levels to serve as consultants.<br /> ** The challenge will be to emphasize the benefits of volunteering to be a consultant. Bob suggested to add examples from the first round of Catalyst grant approved.<br /> ** Prior to giving the presentations to the Radiology departments, group members will meet with the Heads of the Radiology Departments to get their input. Bruce will schedule a meeting with Jim Thrall (Head of the Radiology Department at MGH) before the division meetings to get his feedback on how to get junior people involved. Annick and Bob will also set up meetings with the Heads of the Radiology Department at their respective institutions. <br /> ** During the presentations to the Divisions Heads, it will be a good time to ask for their input about what is good for the more junior faculty members, make sure they will have time allowed for mentoring even if there is less funding involved. It is important to show that junior people could get new collaborations, more grant opportunities.<br /> <br /> ** Concerning the slide about the expertise existing at the different sites, Valerie's role will be to find people able to give a list of what is available in their department. We will ask Division's chiefs about those contacts. We will also use the presentations to request input from the Radiology community. The Group proposed setting up a link on the Catalyst web site that will allow people to add their expertise if missing from our list.<br /> <br /> ** Concerning the IT structure, the consortium members agreed that they need to get feedback on the PACS systems from the Chiefs of the IT Departments. <br /> ** The goal of the Harvard CTSC Imaging Consortium is to ensure that all members of the Harvard community have access to the IT resources that are available and to provide assistance to investigators. <br /> ** The Group proposed setting up 5 PACS systems per site. <br /> ** The slides will be reorganized to determine what IT connections currently exist and what connections are planned for the future.<br /> ***The consortium wants to organize a meeting with the different IT departments (hospitals and Catalyst) together to identify the challenges. <br /> *** Bill, Simon, Bruce and Valerie offered to organize those meetings. A good timing would be after the department heads meeting, probably 4 to 6 weeks from now at best. Annick suggested getting Keith Dreyer (MGH) on board to get his input.<br /> *** In preparation of the IT meetings, Stefan said that it is important to come with an action items list. Simon and Annick suggested coming with a practical example to use to test the structure (ex: phantom project). IT people must understand what they need to change in their institution's policy to fit in the Catalyst structure.<br /> *** Several key contacts for IT meeting: Shawn Murphy (Partners IT), Zak Kohane (Head of the Catalyst IT Group)<br /> *** The action plan is to get a rough draft of what is already accomplish and what need to be implemented, then contact Shawn Murphy for his feedback. The plan will then be submitted to Zak and then the Chairs.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. XNAT Engineer Job Description'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Hiring an XNAT engineer is a top priority for the Imaging Consortium and the group agreed that a skilled candidate should be hired as soon as possible.<br /> <br /> * Valerie contacted the HR department of BIDMC but it is not their policy to post a job that does not have a budget approved at BIDMC. She sent the job description to the BU graduate program and will send it to a couple of engineering schools.<br /> * Stephen will try to post it on the Children's Hospital Web site.<br /> * Valerie contacted Catalyst Central but so far they do not post job offers other than theirs.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Reporting consulting contacts for the NIH Progress Report'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Valerie asked the Consortium members to send her information about any consults they have done outside the t-con. She will forward the answers to Seanne Hanke.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. Catalyst Grant applications'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Bob, Bruce and Annick reviewed several selected applications, 5 to 6 will be invited for interview on January 26 or 28. Overall they agree the projects were very creative, it is a good process, worth the effort.<br /> * Some projects needed mentoring so it will be helpful to have face to face meetings with the investigators.<br /> * Investigators are required to get IRB approval before they can be awarded the funds.<br /> * There will be another round of Catalyst Grants in May; the members agreed they should request that CTSC Central allocate more resources for imaging projects. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''5. CTSC Joint Workshop in Baltimore March 29'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Annick, Jeff and Gordon have been invited to the IRAT/CTSA Joint Workshop on March 29-31, 2009 in Baltimore. They plan to attend the meeting. <br /> ** The workshop includes breakout groups on Cores/Education, Clinical Trials (UPICT)and Imaging Informatics<br /> * Gordon forwarded the invitation with program details via email. If other members would like to join, please contact Annick, Jeff, or Gordon, who will make the request.</div>

XNAT Engineer Job Description'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Hiring an XNAT engineer is a top priority for the Imaging Consortium and the group agreed that a skilled candidate should be hired as soon as possible.<br /> <br /> * Randy Gollub circulated the final version of the[[Media:Catalyst_ImagingIT_Engineer.doc‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] in an email. <br /> ** Dan Sullivan and Shawn Murphy approved this job description.<br /> <br /> * Consortium members are invited to distribute this job description to potential candidates and their institutions HR department. <br /> ** Carolyn circulated the job description to the MGH Martinos Center community and requested that MGH HR post the job.<br /> ** Valerie Humblet has agreed to contact the HR department at the BIDMC and request that they post this job.<br /> * Valerie will also contact CTSC Central to request that they provide a link to the job description on the Harvard Catalyst web page.<br /> <br /> * Since the XNAT Engineer position requires a strong background in IT, the Group agreed that candidates should be interviewed by people with experience in imaging informatics.<br /> ** Bill Hanlon, Ron Kikinis, Gordon Harris, Simon Warfield, and Jeff Yap have all agreed to interview candidates for this position. <br /> ** The Consortium will invite Shawn Murphy from Partners IT, and Gabrieli Fariello from the Buckner laboratory at Harvard to assist with the interview process. <br /> <br /> * Randy has requested that the XNAT Engineer be hired through and placed at Children's Hospital, with Simon Warfield acting as a manager.<br /> ** The Consortium believes that placing the XNAT Engineer at Children's Hospital will facilitate the CTSC Imaging Group's efforts to resolve the issues regarding imaging data transfer between Children's Hospital and the other Harvard CTSC institutions.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. PCIR Review of Imaging Protocols'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy spoke with Anne Klibanski and David Nathan regarding the Imaging Consortium's offer to immediately begin the role as the imaging review arm of the PCIR. <br /> ** The Imaging Consortium will officially begin their duties when the web application for the review of PCIR protocols becomes available<br /> ** However, the group can unofficially begin their duties as the review committee now. Randy has permission to share protocols from MGH with the group for review. These confidential protocols will be posted on the xythos site.<br /> <br /> * As part of these reviews, the Imaging Consortium will <br /> # review the imaging resources available at the site where the research will be done and determine if the resources are adequate to meet the investigator's needs<br /> # answer the investigator's questions and provide advice to improve the proposal<br /> <br /> * The Imaging Consortium's responsibilities for the review of PCIR protocols differs from the assistance provided through the consultation service. However, both share a common goal of improving the quality of the imaging research.<br /> ** The group suggested that investigators who submit a protocol with an imaging component for review by the PCIR should have the option to submit it to the Imaging consultation service first.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Cost of imaging acquisition'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * One of the most commonly encountered questions from researchers involves the cost of imaging resources.<br /> * The Imaging Group supports the goal of creating a standard cost for imaging resources across all the institutions affiliated with Harvard. <br /> * Valerie will collect information on the cost of imaging acquisition scan time from all the sites<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. PowerPoint Presentation for the Divisions Heads meetings'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The group reviewed the PowerPoint slides that were circulated to the group via email.<br /> ** Several consortium members have submitted proposed edits to the slides.<br /> ** The corrected slides will be distributed for discussion at next week's t-con.<br /> ** Consortium members are asked to contact the Radiology Departments at their institution so that these presentations can be given starting at the end of January.<br /> <br /> * The following concerns were raised:<br /> ** These slides are not appropriate for meeting with the Radiology departments. The information in the slides would be useful for other departments (e.g. medicine), but a separate set of slides should be created to meet with the Radiology Department and recruit imaging experts who can assist with consultation requests. When presenting to the Radiology departments, the Imaging Consortium needs to describe the potential benefits of volunteering to be a consultant, such as the possibility of networking with researchers and becoming a collaborator on imaging projects.<br /> ** The group agreed that the slides on the Pilot Grants are not relevant and should be removed<br /> ** Annick circulated the following proposed corrections/changes via email:<br /> # maximum of 10 slides<br /> # do a &quot;live&quot; presentation of the catalyst via the catalyst web site itself, followed by &quot;live&quot; navigation to the consultation page, presentation of the team when we get to that page, discussion of what we have accomplished so far, followed by a &quot;how to&quot; exercise to demonstrate how to get a consultation step<br /> # emphasize the richness of each of the site and invite the audience to volunteer their expertise and fill in the blanks (we could distribute a form for them to fill in, or even better have one on the web that they could access to describe their resources and interests<br /> # demonstrate what is in it for them as we discussed this morning <br /> # present the IT structure. This needs some work in my opinion. Not everyone will know what the XNAT and i2b2 hive are or what advantage they provide to the entire community, and we may need to expand on this. Also, I think that the institutional clinical and research PACS and local IT efforts are under-represented. This may be counterproductive if people think that they are &quot;left out&quot;, and if we do not take into account some ongoing institutional-based IT efforts aimed at post-processing analyses and tools that may become very useful to investigators. So, potential local interest and allowance for horizontal connections to the XNAT/i2b2 hive for these programs may need to be discussed<br /> # educational efforts/opportunities (ask for volunteers here as well)<br /> # next steps, contact info<br /> # leave enough time for questions/discussion<br /> <br /> * The Consortium will use these presentations to find out what the available imaging resources are at each institution and what kinds of educational programs researchers are interested in attending. Valerie will also distribute the Imaging Consortium's contact information. Time will be left at the end of each presentation to collect the contact information from researchers who are interested in helping the Imaging Consortium with consultations or the informatics proposal.</div>

PCIR Review of Imaging Protocols'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy spoke with Anne Klibanski and David Nathan regarding the Imaging Consortium's offer to immediately begin the role as the imaging review arm of the PCIR. <br /> ** The Imaging Consortium will officially begin their duties when the web application for the review of PCIR protocols becomes available<br /> ** However, the group can unofficially begin their duties as the review committee now. Randy has permission to share protocols from MGH with the group for review. These confidential protocols will be posted on the xythos site.<br /> <br /> * As part of these reviews, the Imaging Consortium will <br /> # review the imaging resources available at the site where the research will be done and determine if the resources are adequate to meet the investigator's needs<br /> # answer the investigator's questions and provide advice to improve the proposal<br /> <br /> * The Imaging Consortium's responsibilities for the review of PCIR protocols differs from the assistance provided through the consultation service. However, both share a common goal of improving the quality of the imaging research.<br /> ** The group suggested that investigators who submit a protocol with an imaging component for review by the PCIR should have the option to submit it to the Imaging consultation service first.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Cost of imaging acquisition'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * One of the most commonly encountered questions from researchers involves the cost of imaging resources.<br /> * The Imaging Group supports the goal of creating a standard cost for imaging resources across all the institutions affiliated with Harvard. <br /> * Valerie will collect information on the cost of imaging acquisition scan time from all the sites<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. PowerPoint Presentation for the Divisions Heads meetings'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The group reviewed the PowerPoint slides that were circulated to the group via email.<br /> ** Several consortium members have submitted proposed edits to the slides.<br /> ** The corrected slides will be distributed for discussion at next week's t-con.<br /> ** Consortium members are asked to contact the Radiology Departments at their institution so that these presentations can be given starting at the end of January.<br /> <br /> * The following concerns were raised:<br /> ** These slides are not appropriate for meeting with the Radiology departments. The information in the slides would be useful for other departments (e.g. medicine), but a separate set of slides should be created to meet with the Radiology Department and recruit imaging experts who can assist with consultation requests. When presenting to the Radiology departments, the Imaging Consortium needs to describe the potential benefits of volunteering to be a consultant, such as the possibility of networking with researchers and becoming a collaborator on imaging projects.<br /> ** The group agreed that the slides on the Pilot Grants are not relevant and should be removed<br /> ** Annick circulated the following proposed corrections/changes via email:<br /> # maximum of 10 slides<br /> # do a &quot;live&quot; presentation of the catalyst via the catalyst web site itself,<br /> followed by &quot;live&quot; navigation to the consultation page, presentation of the team<br /> when we get to that page, discussion of what we have accomplished so far,<br /> followed by a &quot;how to&quot; exercise to demonstrate how to get a consultation step<br /> # emphasize the richness of each of the site and invite the audience to<br /> volunteer their expertise and fill in the blanks (we could distribute a form for<br /> them to fill in, or even better have one on the web that they could access to<br /> describe their resources and interests<br /> # demonstrate what is in it for them as we discussed this morning<br /> # present the IT structure. This needs some work in my opinion. Not everyone<br /> will know what the XNAT and i2b2 hive are or what advantage they provide to the<br /> entire community, and we may need to expand on this. Also, I think that the<br /> institutional clinical and research PACS and local IT efforts are<br /> under-represented. This may be counterproductive if people think that they are<br /> &quot;left out&quot;, and if we do not take into account some ongoing institutional-based<br /> IT efforts aimed at post-processing analyses and tools that may become very<br /> useful to investigators. So, potential local interest and allowance for<br /> horizontal connections to the XNAT/i2b2 hive for these programs may need to be<br /> discussed<br /> # educational efforts/opportunities (ask for volunteers here as well)<br /> # next steps, contact info<br /> # leave enough time for questions/discussion<br /> <br /> <br /> * The Consortium will use these presentations to find out what the available imaging resources are at each institution and what kinds of educational programs researchers are interested in attending. Valerie will also distribute the Imaging Consortium's contact information. Time will be left at the end of each presentation to collect the contact information from researchers who are interested in helping the Imaging Consortium with consultations or the informatics proposal.</div>

Van den Abbeele<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''1. PCIR reviews of protocols including an imaging component - not discussed on call this written report is from Randy and is open for comment. I will bring it up on our next call'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * In December, the Consortium discussed the PCIR reviews of protocols including an imaging component and when the group should start fulfilling the role of reviewer for the PCIR. The Consortium agreed to offer to begin this role immediately.<br /> * Towards this goal Randy spoke with Anne Klibanski and David Nathan regarding the Imaging Consortium's offer to immediately begin the role as the imaging review arm of the PCIR.<br /> * Anne provided the following response to our offer:<br /> ** The process of setting up the new review committee for PCIR access has been a lengthy one. &lt;br&gt; Where is stands now is that the committee members are named- invitations will be going out in January and Jules Dienstag is the overall Chair. Review documents &amp; forms are finalized. <br /> ** Regulatory has given the OK as to sharing of protocols across institutions and all reviews will be asked to sign a conflict of interest form.<br /> ** We are waiting on selection of the final vendor for the review based application- there are 2 finalists and meetings are taking place this week to make the final edition. Bioinformatics under Doug McFadden and Zak have put considerable resources towards this. As you know- all imaging protocols will be reviewed by the imaging group.<br /> ** The benefit will be an expanded pool of qualified reviewers and an end to the perpetual quest for reviews in an area.<br /> ** Michelle Beck at BI is the AD coordinating the process. <br /> ** The bottom line for us in the Imaging Consortium is that for now- if your site has an imaging protocol for Catalyst review within that you want to use our Consortium to review on an ad hoc basis until this is up and running that's fine. But we have to wait until the overall PCIR review process is ready before formalizing this. They hope to roll this out within a few months. I (Randy) have one protocol that I will be reviewing in the next week and I will post the materials for this group to review and use as a focus to develop our own ideas for how to do these reviews. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. Update on the Imaging Liaison position'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Dr. Valerie Humblet will be starting her duties as the Imaging Liaison soon.<br /> ** The HR department at the BIDMC is in the process of setting Valerie up as an employee. Her start date is imminent.<br /> ** Bob has arranged an office and will help her acquire a computer.<br /> <br /> * Valerie will be visiting each institution over the next few weeks to get to know the members of the consortium better. The tentative schedule for these visits is:<br /> ** Tuesday January 13th - Valerie will meet with Randy and Carolyn at MGH Charlestown Navy Yard for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** Tuesday January 20th - Valerie will go to the TIMC (25 New Chardon St) to meet with Bill Hanlon and Gordon Harris for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** A face to face meeting for the group at Children's Hospital is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday January 27th.<br /> ** Tuesday February 3rd- Valerie will visit Jeff Yap at Dana Farber Cancer Institute<br /> ** Tuesday Februaru 10th- Valerie will visit Clare at BWH<br /> <br /> * The Group previously discussed changing the title of the Imaging Liaison position. Valerie has been invited to come up with a different name for her position.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Progress Report Update'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy will send the Progress Report to Gordon Williams by the end of this week.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. XNAT Engineer Job Description'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Consortium agreed that the XNAT Engineer position should be posted soon.<br /> ** Consortium members were invited to make any edits to the [[Media:Catalyst_ImagingIT_Engineer.doc‎‎‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] by Friday January 9th.<br /> <br /> * Randy and Carolyn will circulate the position for posting by the end of this week.<br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest possible candidates for the position and circulate the job description to any potential candidates and their respective HR departments<br /> ** Randy met with Carol Martin, the CTSC Central Diversity Chair, who has agreed to help recruit diverse and qualified candidates for the position.<br /> <br /> * Since the position requires technical knowledge and skills related to the XNAT interface, the Imaging Consortium agreed to invite several experts in bioimaging informatics to help conduct interviews for the position or to suggest possible candidates. Randy will speak with Shawn Murphy, Dan Marcus, Ron Kikinis, and Gabrieli to see if they are interested in working with the Imaging Consortium to find a qualified XNAT Engineer.<br /> <br /> * Randy Buckner is head of the Harvard Neuroimaging Informatics effort. Gabrieli has been working with Dr. Buckner for several years to make disseminate XNAT and make a user-friendly virtual XNAT interface. Gabrieli possesses a great deal of knowledge about XNAT.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed to invite Gabrieli to help find a skilled XNAT Engineer and is considering inviting him to work as a consultant on the CTSC Informatics efforts.<br /> <br /> * The Harvard CTSC is looking into potential funding sources to support the XNAT proposal.<br /> ** Shawn Murphy will submit a grant proposal to NIBIB to provide support for the XNAT proposal. NIBIB currently does work on i2b2. The grant proposal will likely include a plan to develop XNAT at Harvard and then disseminate it to one to two other sites, such as Washington University in St. Louis.<br /> ** The CTSC can also apply for funding from the BIRN project.<br /> ** Since the XNAT proposal includes a plan for integrating the Slicer viewing tool, NAMIC may be able to provide support for the proposal.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''5. Consultation Service'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy met with the designers of the web based consultation request service.<br /> ** Web based consultation requests will go live on January 15th. It be modeled after the word/pdf consultation request form that is already posted on the Catalyst Imaging site and after the bio-statistics web based request service, which is already live.<br /> ** The consultation requests will be linked to an excel spreadsheet that was developed by the biostatistics group. The spreadsheet will record data such as the date of the consultation requests and will help track each request. <br /> <br /> * Randy met with the CTSC Central Evaluation team.<br /> ** The Evaluation Team will work with the Imaging Group to evaluate the effectiveness of the Imaging Consultation Service. <br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest ideas for evaluating consultations. Randy and Valerie will meet with the Evaluation Team in the next few weeks to work on the evaluation plan.<br /> ** The Genetics and Biostatistics groups will also work with the Evaluation Team.<br /> <br /> * Updates on the effectiveness of the CTSC Imaging Consultation Service, with supporting data, will be reported in the Harvard CTSC Progress Reports. The first Progress Report is due soon.<br /> <br /> * The Imaging Consortium plans on meeting with the individual departments at each hospital to advertise the consultation service.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed that one of the first priorities is to make presentations to the Radiology Departments and other departments with Imaging expertise. During these meetings, the Imaging Liaison will describe the goals of the consultation service and look for volunteers who would like to be put on a list of potential consultants or collaborators to help respond to consultation requests.<br /> ** The Consortium will also arrange meetings with the other departments at each institution (e.g medicine, surgery, pediatrics) to inform them of the services available through the Imaging consultation service. Many consultation requests will likely come from investigators within these departments. <br /> ** The Consortium will edit the PowerPoint presentation at next Tuesday's t-con so that it is ready for these meetings. Presentations will include a 10 minute slide show and time for questions at the end. <br /> ** The presentations will be given at the regular monthly Department administrative meetings. Consortium members are asked to contact the Radiology Departments at their institution so that these presentations can be given starting at the end of January.<br /> * Valerie will give the presentations. Randy or Bruce and a consortium member from that site will be present at each presentation.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ''' 6. Institutional representatives in CTSC Central'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The [https://internal.catalyst.harvard.edu/login.html Harvard Catalyst intranet]includes lists of the members of the various CTSC committees.<br /> ** The logon name and password will be circulated via email.<br /> <br /> Instututional Representatives:<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> | Sites<br /> | Representative<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | BWH<br /> | Elliott Antman<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | DFCI<br /> | David Frank <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | BIDMC<br /> | Steve Freedman <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | MIT<br /> | John Gabrieli <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | BC<br /> | Susan Gennaro<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Joslin<br /> | George King <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | DFCI<br /> | Lee Nadler <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Partners<br /> | David Nathan <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Childrens Hospital<br /> | Ellis Neufeld <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | BIDMC<br /> | Jeff Saffitz <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Forsyth<br /> | Phil Stashenko <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Harvard<br /> | Laura Weisel <br /> <br /> |-</div>

Review documents &amp; forms are finalized. <br /> ** Regulatory has given the OK as to sharing of protocols across institutions and all reviews will be asked to sign a conflict of interest form.<br /> ** We are waiting on selection of the final vendor for the review based application- there are 2 finalists and meetings are taking place this week to make the final edition. Bioinformatics under Doug McFadden and Zak have put considerable resources towards this. As you know- all imaging protocols will be reviewed by the imaging group.<br /> ** The benefit will be an expanded pool of qualified reviewers and an end to the perpetual quest for reviews in an area.<br /> ** Michelle Beck at BI is the AD coordinating the process. <br /> ** The bottom line for us in the Imaging Consortium is that for now- if your site has an imaging protocol for Catalyst review within that you want to use our Consortium to review on an ad hoc basis until this is up and running that's fine. But we have to wait until the overall PCIR review process is ready before formalizing this. They hope to roll this out within a few months. I (Randy) have one protocol that I will be reviewing in the next week and I will post the materials for this group to review and use as a focus to develop our own ideas for how to do these reviews. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. Update on the Imaging Liaison position'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Dr. Valerie Humblet will be starting her duties as the Imaging Liaison soon.<br /> ** The HR department at the BIDMC is in the process of setting Valerie up as an employee. Her start date is imminent.<br /> ** Bob has arranged an office and will help her acquire a computer.<br /> <br /> * Valerie will be visiting each institution over the next few weeks to get to know the members of the consortium better. The tentative schedule for these visits is:<br /> ** Tuesday January 13th - Valerie will meet with Randy and Carolyn at MGH Charlestown Navy Yard for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** Tuesday January 20th - Valerie will go to the TIMC (25 New Chardon St) to meet with Bill Hanlon and Gordon Harris for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** A face to face meeting for the group at Children's Hospital is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday January 27th.<br /> ** Tuesday February 3rd- Valerie will visit Jeff Yap at Dana Farber Cancer Institute<br /> ** Tuesday Februaru 10th- Valerie will visit Clare at BWH<br /> <br /> * The Group previously discussed changing the title of the Imaging Liaison position. Valerie has been invited to come up with a different name for her position.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Progress Report Update'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy will send the Progress Report to Gordon Williams by the end of this week.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. XNAT Engineer Job Description'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Consortium agreed that the XNAT Engineer position should be posted soon.<br /> ** Consortium members were invited to make any edits to the [[Media:CTSC_XNAT_Engineer_Job_DescriptionAVDAedits_ct_edits.doc‎‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] by Friday January 9th.<br /> <br /> * Randy and Carolyn will circulate the position for posting by the end of this week.<br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest possible candidates for the position and circulate the job description to any potential candidates and their respective HR departments<br /> ** Randy met with Carol Martin, the CTSC Central Diversity Chair, who has agreed to help recruit diverse and qualified candidates for the position.<br /> <br /> * Since the position requires technical knowledge and skills related to the XNAT interface, the Imaging Consortium agreed to invite several experts in bioimaging informatics to help conduct interviews for the position or to suggest possible candidates. Randy will speak with Shawn Murphy, Dan Marcus, Ron Kikinis, and Gabrieli to see if they are interested in working with the Imaging Consortium to find a qualified XNAT Engineer.<br /> <br /> * Randy Buckner is head of the Harvard Neuroimaging Informatics effort. Gabrieli has been working with Dr. Buckner for several years to make disseminate XNAT and make a user-friendly virtual XNAT interface. Gabrieli possesses a great deal of knowledge about XNAT.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed to invite Gabrieli to help find a skilled XNAT Engineer and is considering inviting him to work as a consultant on the CTSC Informatics efforts.<br /> <br /> * The Harvard CTSC is looking into potential funding sources to support the XNAT proposal.<br /> ** Shawn Murphy will submit a grant proposal to NIBIB to provide support for the XNAT proposal. NIBIB currently does work on i2b2. The grant proposal will likely include a plan to develop XNAT at Harvard and then disseminate it to one to two other sites, such as Washington University in St. Louis.<br /> ** The CTSC can also apply for funding from the BIRN project.<br /> ** Since the XNAT proposal includes a plan for integrating the Slicer viewing tool, NAMIC may be able to provide support for the proposal.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''5. Consultation Service'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy met with the designers of the web based consultation request service.<br /> ** Web based consultation requests will go live on January 15th. It be modeled after the word/pdf consultation request form that is already posted on the Catalyst Imaging site and after the bio-statistics web based request service, which is already live.<br /> ** The consultation requests will be linked to an excel spreadsheet that was developed by the biostatistics group. The spreadsheet will record data such as the date of the consultation requests and will help track each request. <br /> <br /> * Randy met with the CTSC Central Evaluation team.<br /> ** The Evaluation Team will work with the Imaging Group to evaluate the effectiveness of the Imaging Consultation Service. <br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest ideas for evaluating consultations. Randy and Valerie will meet with the Evaluation Team in the next few weeks to work on the evaluation plan.<br /> ** The Genetics and Biostatistics groups will also work with the Evaluation Team.<br /> <br /> * Updates on the effectiveness of the CTSC Imaging Consultation Service, with supporting data, will be reported in the Harvard CTSC Progress Reports. The first Progress Report is due soon.<br /> <br /> * The Imaging Consortium plans on meeting with the individual departments at each hospital to advertise the consultation service.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed that one of the first priorities is to make presentations to the Radiology Departments and other departments with Imaging expertise. During these meetings, the Imaging Liaison will describe the goals of the consultation service and look for volunteers who would like to be put on a list of potential consultants or collaborators to help respond to consultation requests.<br /> ** The Consortium will also arrange meetings with the other departments at each institution (e.g medicine, surgery, pediatrics) to inform them of the services available through the Imaging consultation service. Many consultation requests will likely come from investigators within these departments. <br /> ** The Consortium will edit the PowerPoint presentation at next Tuesday's t-con so that it is ready for these meetings. Presentations will include a 10 minute slide show and time for questions at the end. <br /> ** The presentations will be given at the regular monthly Department administrative meetings. Consortium members are asked to contact the Radiology Departments at their institution so that these presentations can be given starting at the end of January.<br /> * Valerie will give the presentations. Randy or Bruce and a consortium member from that site will be present at each presentation.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ''' 6. Institutional representatives in CTSC Central'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The [https://internal.catalyst.harvard.edu/login.html Harvard Catalyst intranet]includes lists of the members of the various CTSC committees.<br /> ** The logon name and password will be circulated via email.</div>

PCIR reviews of protocols including an imaging component - not discussed on call this written report is from Randy and is open for comment. I will bring it up on our next call'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * In December, the Consortium discussed the PCIR reviews of protocols including an imaging component and when the group should start fulfilling the role of reviewer for the PCIR. The Consortium agreed to offer to begin this role immediately.<br /> * Towards this goal Randy spoke with Anne Klibanski and David Nathan regarding the Imaging Consortium's offer to immediately begin the role as the imaging review arm of the PCIR.<br /> * Anne provided the following response to our offer:<br /> ** The process of setting up the new review committee for PCIR access has been a lengthy one. &lt;br&gt; Where is stands now is that the committee members are named- invitations will be going out in January and Jules Dienstag is the overall Chair.

Bioinformatics under Doug McFadden and Zak have put considerable resources towards this. As you know- all imaging protocols will be reviewed by the imaging group.<br /> ** The benefit will be an expanded pool of qualified reviewers and an end to the perpetual quest for reviews in an area.<br /> ** Michelle Beck at BI is the AD coordinating the process. <br /> ** The bottom line for us in the Imaging Consortium is that for now- if your site has an imaging protocol for Catalyst review within that you want to use our Consortium to review on an ad hoc basis until this is up and running that's fine. But we have to wait until the overall PCIR review process is ready before formalizing this. They hope to roll this out within a few months. I (Randy) have one protocol that I will be reviewing in the next week and I will post the materials for this group to review and use as a focus to develop our own ideas for how to do these reviews. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. Update on the Imaging Liaison position'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Dr. Valerie Humblet will be starting her duties as the Imaging Liaison soon.<br /> ** The HR department at the BIDMC is in the process of setting Valerie up as an employee. Her start date is imminent.<br /> ** Bob has arranged an office and will help her acquire a computer.<br /> <br /> * Valerie will be visiting each institution over the next few weeks to get to know the members of the consortium better. The tentative schedule for these visits is:<br /> ** Tuesday January 13th - Valerie will meet with Randy and Carolyn at MGH Charlestown Navy Yard for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** Tuesday January 20th - Valerie will go to the TIMC (25 New Chardon St) to meet with Bill Hanlon and Gordon Harris for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** A face to face meeting for the group at Children's Hospital is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday January 27th.<br /> ** Tuesday February 3rd- Valerie will visit Jeff Yap at Dana Farber Cancer Institute<br /> ** Tuesday Februaru 10th- Valerie will visit Clare at BWH<br /> <br /> * The Group previously discussed changing the title of the Imaging Liaison position. Valerie has been invited to come up with a different name for her position.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Progress Report Update'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy will send the Progress Report to Gordon Williams by the end of this week.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. XNAT Engineer Job Description'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Consortium agreed that the XNAT Engineer position should be posted soon.<br /> ** Consortium members were invited to make any edits to the [[Media:CTSC_XNAT_Engineer_Job_DescriptionAVDAedits_ct_edits.doc‎‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] by Friday January 9th.<br /> <br /> * Randy and Carolyn will circulate the position for posting by the end of this week.<br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest possible candidates for the position and circulate the job description to any potential candidates and their respective HR departments<br /> ** Randy met with Carol Martin, the CTSC Central Diversity Chair, who has agreed to help recruit diverse and qualified candidates for the position.<br /> <br /> * Since the position requires technical knowledge and skills related to the XNAT interface, the Imaging Consortium agreed to invite several experts in bioimaging informatics to help conduct interviews for the position or to suggest possible candidates. Randy will speak with Shawn Murphy, Dan Marcus, Ron Kikinis, and Gabrieli to see if they are interested in working with the Imaging Consortium to find a qualified XNAT Engineer.<br /> <br /> * Randy Buckner is head of the Harvard Neuroimaging Informatics effort. Gabrieli has been working with Dr. Buckner for several years to make disseminate XNAT and make a user-friendly virtual XNAT interface. Gabrieli possesses a great deal of knowledge about XNAT.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed to invite Gabrieli to help find a skilled XNAT Engineer and is considering inviting him to work as a consultant on the CTSC Informatics efforts.<br /> <br /> * The Harvard CTSC is looking into potential funding sources to support the XNAT proposal.<br /> ** Shawn Murphy will submit a grant proposal to NIBIB to provide support for the XNAT proposal. NIBIB currently does work on i2b2. The grant proposal will likely include a plan to develop XNAT at Harvard and then disseminate it to one to two other sites, such as Washington University in St. Louis.<br /> ** The CTSC can also apply for funding from the BIRN project.<br /> ** Since the XNAT proposal includes a plan for integrating the Slicer viewing tool, NAMIC may be able to provide support for the proposal.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''5. Consultation Service'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy met with the designers of the web based consultation request service.<br /> ** Web based consultation requests will go live on January 15th. It be modeled after the word/pdf consultation request form that is already posted on the Catalyst Imaging site and after the bio-statistics web based request service, which is already live.<br /> ** The consultation requests will be linked to an excel spreadsheet that was developed by the biostatistics group. The spreadsheet will record data such as the date of the consultation requests and will help track each request. <br /> <br /> * Randy met with the CTSC Central Evaluation team.<br /> ** The Evaluation Team will work with the Imaging Group to evaluate the effectiveness of the Imaging Consultation Service. <br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest ideas for evaluating consultations. Randy and Valerie will meet with the Evaluation Team in the next few weeks to work on the evaluation plan.<br /> ** The Genetics and Biostatistics groups will also work with the Evaluation Team.<br /> <br /> * Updates on the effectiveness of the CTSC Imaging Consultation Service, with supporting data, will be reported in the Harvard CTSC Progress Reports. The first Progress Report is due soon.<br /> <br /> * The Imaging Consortium plans on meeting with the individual departments at each hospital to advertise the consultation service.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed that one of the first priorities is to make presentations to the Radiology Departments and other departments with Imaging expertise. During these meetings, the Imaging Liaison will describe the goals of the consultation service and look for volunteers who would like to be put on a list of potential consultants or collaborators to help respond to consultation requests.<br /> ** The Consortium will also arrange meetings with the other departments at each institution (e.g medicine, surgery, pediatrics) to inform them of the services available through the Imaging consultation service. Many consultation requests will likely come from investigators within these departments. <br /> ** The Consortium will edit the PowerPoint presentation at next Tuesday's t-con so that it is ready for these meetings. Presentations will include a 10 minute slide show and time for questions at the end. <br /> ** The presentations will be given at the regular monthly Department administrative meetings. Consortium members are asked to contact the Radiology Departments at their institution so that these presentations can be given starting at the end of January.<br /> * Valerie will give the presentations. Randy or Bruce and a consortium member from that site will be present at each presentation.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ''' 6. Institutional representatives in CTSC Central'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The [https://internal.catalyst.harvard.edu/login.html Harvard Catalyst intranet]includes lists of the members of the various CTSC committees.<br /> ** The logon name and password will be circulated via email.<br /> <br /> Instututional Representatives:<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> | Sites<br /> | Representative<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | BWH<br /> | Elliott Antman<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | DFCI<br /> | David Frank <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | BIDMC<br /> | Steve Freedman <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | MIT<br /> | John Gabrieli <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | BC<br /> | Susan Gennaro<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Joslin<br /> | George King <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | DFCI<br /> | Lee Nadler <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Partners<br /> | David Nathan <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Childrens Hospital<br /> | Ellis Neufeld <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | BIDMC<br /> | Jeff Saffitz <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Forsyth<br /> | Phil Stashenko <br /> <br /> |-<br /> | Harvard<br /> | Laura Weisel <br /> <br /> |-</div>

Her start date is imminent.<br /> ** Bob has arranged an office and will help her acquire a computer.<br /> <br /> * Valerie will be visiting each institution over the next few weeks to get to know the members of the consortium better. The tentative schedule for these visits is:<br /> ** Tuesday January 13th - Valerie will meet with Randy and Carolyn at MGH Charlestown Navy Yard for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** Tuesday January 20th - Valerie will go to the TIMC (25 New Chardon St) to meet with Bill Hanlon and Gordon Harris for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** A face to face meeting for the group at Children's Hospital is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday January 27th.<br /> ** Tuesday February 3rd- Valerie will visit Jeff Yap at Dana Farber Cancer Institute<br /> ** Tuesday Februaru 10th- Valerie will visit Clare at BWH<br /> <br /> * The Group previously discussed changing the title of the Imaging Liaison position. Valerie has been invited to come up with a different name for her position.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Progress Report Update'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy will send the Progress Report to Gordon Williams by the end of this week.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. XNAT Engineer Job Description'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Consortium agreed that the XNAT Engineer position should be posted soon.<br /> ** Consortium members were invited to make any edits to the [[Media:CTSC_XNAT_Engineer_Job_Description.doc‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] by Friday January 9th.<br /> <br /> * Randy and Carolyn will circulate the position for posting by the end of this week.<br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest possible candidates for the position and circulate the job description to any potential candidates and their respective HR departments<br /> ** Randy met with Carol Martin, the CTSC Central Diversity Chair, who has agreed to help recruit diverse and qualified candidates for the position.<br /> <br /> * Since the position requires technical knowledge and skills related to the XNAT interface, the Imaging Consortium agreed to invite several experts in bioimaging informatics to help conduct interviews for the position or to suggest possible candidates. Randy will speak with Shawn Murphy, Dan Marcus, Ron Kikinis, and Gabrieli to see if they are interested in working with the Imaging Consortium to find a qualified XNAT Engineer.<br /> <br /> * Randy Buckner is head of the Harvard Neuroimaging Informatics effort. Gabrieli has been working with Dr. Buckner for several years to make disseminate XNAT and make a user-friendly virtual XNAT interface. Gabrieli possesses a great deal of knowledge about XNAT.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed to invite Gabrieli to help find a skilled XNAT Engineer and is considering inviting him to work as a consultant on the CTSC Informatics efforts.<br /> <br /> * The Harvard CTSC is looking into potential funding sources to support the XNAT proposal.<br /> ** Shawn Murphy will submit a grant proposal to NIBIB to provide support for the XNAT proposal. NIBIB currently does work on i2b2. The grant proposal will likely include a plan to develop XNAT at Harvard and then disseminate it to one to two other sites, such as Washington University in St. Louis.<br /> ** The CTSC can also apply for funding from the BIRN project.<br /> ** Since the XNAT proposal includes a plan for integrating the Slicer viewing tool, NAMIC may be able to provide support for the proposal.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''5. Consultation Service'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy met with the designers of the web based consultation request service.<br /> ** Web based consultation requests will go live on January 15th. It be modeled after the word/pdf consultation request form that is already posted on the Catalyst Imaging site and after the bio-statistics web based request service, which is already live.<br /> ** The consultation requests will be linked to an excel spreadsheet that was developed by the biostatistics group. The spreadsheet will record data such as the date of the consultation requests and will help track each request. <br /> <br /> * Randy met with the CTSC Central Evaluation team.<br /> ** The Evaluation Team will work with the Imaging Group to evaluate the effectiveness of the Imaging Consultation Service. <br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest ideas for evaluating consultations. Randy and Valerie will meet with the Evaluation Team in the next few weeks to work on the evaluation plan.<br /> ** The Genetics and Biostatistics groups will also work with the Evaluation Team.<br /> <br /> * Updates on the effectiveness of the CTSC Imaging Consultation Service, with supporting data, will be reported in the Harvard CTSC Progress Reports. The first Progress Report is due soon.<br /> <br /> * The Imaging Consortium plans on meeting with the individual departments at each hospital to advertise the consultation service.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed that one of the first priorities is to make presentations to the Radiology Departments and other departments with Imaging expertise. During these meetings, the Imaging Liaison will describe the goals of the consultation service and look for volunteers who would like to be put on a list of potential consultants or collaborators to help respond to consultation requests.<br /> ** The Consortium will also arrange meetings with the other departments at each institution (e.g medicine, surgery, pediatrics) to inform them of the services available through the Imaging consultation service. Many consultation requests will likely come from investigators within these departments. <br /> ** The Consortium will edit the PowerPoint presentation at next Tuesday's t-con so that it is ready for these meetings. Presentations will include a 10 minute slide show and time for questions at the end. <br /> ** The presentations will be given at the regular monthly Department administrative meetings. Consortium members are asked to contact the Radiology Departments at their institution so that these presentations can be given starting at the end of January.<br /> * Valerie will give the presentations. Randy or Bruce and a consortium member from that site will be present at each presentation.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ''' 6.

The Consortium agreed to offer to begin this role immediately.<br /> * Towards this goal Randy spoke with Anne Klibanski and David Nathan regarding the Imaging Consortium's offer to immediately begin the role as the imaging review arm of the PCIR.<br /> * Anne provided the following response to our offer:<br /> ** The process of setting up the new review committee for PCIR access has been a lengthy one. &lt;br&gt; Where is stands now is that the committee members are named- invitations will be going out in January and Jules Dienstag is the overall Chair.

The Consortium agreed to offer to begin this role immediately.<br /> * Towards this goal Randy spoke with Anne Klibanski and David Nathan regarding the Imaging Consortium's offer to immediately begin the role as the imaging review arm of the PCIR.<br /> * Anne provided the following response to our offer:<br /> ** The process of setting up the new review committee for PCIR access has been a lengthy one.<br /> Where is stands now is that the committee members are named- invitations will be going out in January and Jules Dienstag is the overall Chair. Review documents &amp; forms are finalized. <br /> ** Regulatory has given the OK as to sharing of protocols across institutions and all reviews will be asked to sign a conflict of interest form.<br /> ** We are waiting on selection of the final vendor for the review based application- there are 2 finalists and meetings are taking place this week to make the final edition. Bioinformatics under Doug McFadden and Zak have put considerable resources towards this. As you know- all imaging protocols will be reviewed by the imaging group.<br /> ** The benefit will be an expanded pool of qualified reviewers and an end to the perpetual quest for reviews in an area.<br /> ** Michelle Beck at BI is the AD coordinating the process. <br /> ** The bottom line for us in the Imaging Consortium is that for now- if your site has an imaging protocol for Catalyst review within that you want to use our Consortium to review on an ad hoc basis until this is up and running that's fine. But we have to wait until the overall PCIR review process is ready before formalizing this. They hope to roll this out within a few months. I (Randy) have one protocol that I will be reviewing in the next week and I will post the materials for this group to review and use as a focus to develop our own ideas for how to do these reviews. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. Update on the Imaging Liaison position'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Dr. Valerie Humblet will be starting her duties as the Imaging Liaison soon.<br /> ** The HR department at the BIDMC is in the process of setting Valerie up as an employee. Her start date is imminent.<br /> ** Bob has arranged an office and will help her acquire a computer.<br /> <br /> * Valerie will be visiting each institution over the next few weeks to get to know the members of the consortium better. The tentative schedule for these visits is:<br /> ** Tuesday January 13th - Valerie will meet with Randy and Carolyn at MGH Charlestown Navy Yard for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** Tuesday January 20th - Valerie will go to the TIMC (25 New Chardon St) to meet with Bill Hanlon and Gordon Harris for the 8:30 t-con.<br /> ** A face to face meeting for the group at Children's Hospital is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday January 27th.<br /> ** Tuesday February 3rd- Valerie will visit Jeff Yap at Dana Farber Cancer Institute<br /> ** Tuesday Februaru 10th- Valerie will visit Clare at BWH<br /> <br /> * The Group previously discussed changing the title of the Imaging Liaison position. Valerie has been invited to come up with a different name for her position.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''3. Progress Report Update'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * Randy will send the Progress Report to Gordon Williams by the end of this week.<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''4. XNAT Engineer Job Description'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Consortium agreed that the XNAT Engineer position should be posted soon.<br /> ** Consortium members were invited to make any edits to the [[Media:CTSC_XNAT_Engineer_Job_Description.doc‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] by Friday January 9th.<br /> <br /> * Randy and Carolyn will circulate the position for posting by the end of this week.<br /> ** Consortium members are invited to suggest possible candidates for the position and circulate the job description to any potential candidates and their respective HR departments<br /> ** Randy met with Carol Martin, the CTSC Central Diversity Chair, who has agreed to help recruit diverse and qualified candidates for the position.<br /> <br /> * Since the position requires technical knowledge and skills related to the XNAT interface, the Imaging Consortium agreed to invite several experts in bioimaging informatics to help conduct interviews for the position or to suggest possible candidates. Randy will speak with Shawn Murphy, Dan Marcus, Ron Kikinis, and Gabrieli to see if they are interested in working with the Imaging Consortium to find a qualified XNAT Engineer.<br /> <br /> * Randy Buckner is head of the Harvard Neuroimaging Informatics effort. Gabrieli has been working with Dr. Buckner for several years to make disseminate XNAT and make a user-friendly virtual XNAT interface. Gabrieli possesses a great deal of knowledge about XNAT.<br /> ** The Consortium agreed to invite Gabrieli to help find a skilled XNAT Engineer and is considering inviting him to work as a consultant on the CTSC Informatics efforts.<br /> <br /> * The Harvard CTSC is looking into potential funding sources to support the XNAT proposal.<br /> ** Shawn Murphy will submit a grant proposal to NIBIB to provide support for the XNAT proposal. NIBIB currently does work on i2b2. The grant proposal will likely include a plan to develop XNAT at Harvard and then disseminate it to one to two other sites, such as Washington University in St. Louis.<br /> ** The CTSC can also apply for funding from the BIRN project.<br /> ** Since the XNAT proposal includes a plan for integrating the Slicer viewing tool, NAMIC may be able to provide support for the proposal.</div>

PCIR reviews of protocols including an imaging component'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * In December, the Consortium discussed the PCIR reviews of protocols including an imaging component and when the group should start fulfilling the role of reviewer for the PCIR. The Consortium agreed to offer to begin this role immediately.<br /> * Randy spoke with Anne Klibanski and David Nathan regarding the Imaging Consortium's offer to immediately begin the role as the imaging review arm of the PCIR.<br /> * Anne provided the following response to this offer:<br /> ** The process of setting up the new review committee for PCIR access has been a lengthy one.<br /> Where is stands now is that the committee members are named- invitations will be going out in January and Jules Dienstag is the overall Chair. Review documents &amp; forms are finalized. <br /> ** Regulatory has given the OK as to sharing of protocols across institutions and all reviews will be asked to sign a conflict of interest form.<br /> ** We are waiting on selection of the final vendor for the review based application- there are 2 finalists and meetings are taking place this week to make the final edition. Bioinformatics under Doug McFadden and Zak have put considerable resources towards this. As you know- all imaging protocols will be reviewed by the imaging group.<br /> ** The benefit will be an expanded pool of qualified reviewers and an end to the perpetual quest for reviews in an area.<br /> ** Michelle Beck at BI is the AD coordinating the process. <br /> ** For now- if you have specific reviews within the partners system you want to use ad hoc until this is up and running that's fine but I would wait until the program is ready before engaging everyone. We hope to roll this out in a few months.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;</div>

Please schedule all interviews with the candidates and update the form sheet for evaluations, including a ranking of the candidates, on the xythos site after the interview no later than December 18th. &lt;br&gt;<br /> # Review the [[Media:CTSC_XNAT_Engineer_Job_Description.doc‎ | XNAT engineer job description]] and suggest edits.<br /> <br /> == Harvard Translational Imaging Consortium Meeting Minutes December 16, 2008 ==<br /> <br /> In Attendance (via phone):<br /> * Randy Gollub<br /> * Carolyn Zyloney<br /> * Jeff Yap<br /> * Bill Hanlon<br /> * Clare Tempany<br /> * Annick D. Van den Abbeele<br /> * Laura Alice<br /> * Ron Kikinis<br /> * Bruce Rosen<br /> * Gordon Harris<br /> * Gordon Williams<br /> * Bob Lenkinski<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''1. Imaging Information and Acquisition Liaison Job Position'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> * The CTSC Imaging Consortium is in the process of finishing the last several interviews of our three top candidates for the position and writing evaluations of the candidates.<br /> ** Many members of the Consortium have interviewed the candidates. At least one Consortium member from each site has met all three candidates for the position. <br /> ** Several members have already posted their evaluations of the candidates on the xythos site and sent their rank ordering of the candidates to Carolyn. Consortium members who have not done so are asked to submit their evaluations and rankings by Thursday.<br /> ** There will be a special t-con to discuss the Imaging Liaison candidates on Friday December 19th at 9:30 am.<br /> ** The Consortium members reported that they have no further questions and are prepared to make a decision on Friday during the t-con.<br /> ** Randy received one additional recommendation for one of the candidates, which she has posted on the xythos site. <br /> ** Randy proposed January 2nd as a potential start date for the position. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. Coordination with CTSC Central (Randy)'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The Consortium is working closely with CTSC Central to facilitate the goals of both this imaging group and Harvard Catalyst as a whole. <br /> <br /> * The first CTSC Progress report is due on January 8th. CTSC Central has requested that the Imaging Consortium submit within the next week:<br /> ** a summary of our accomplishments as a group<br /> ** a description of how the Imaging Group contributes to the Harvard catalyst's and overall national CTSA's efforts<br /> ** and our plans for the next year.<br /> * The Group discussed and agreed upon the content to be used for the progress report.<br /> ** Jeff and Annick are active in the CTSA Clinical Trials subgroup, ACRIN meetings, and the RSNA CTSA Imaging Working Group meetings (which includes a Bi-Monthly conference call). Bruce and Ron are active on the CTSC Imaging Workspace and the Informatics Committee. Randy, Ron, and Bill also participate in the Informatics meetings.<br /> ** The Consortium plans on putting together an image analysis core with a fee for service. Clinical trials at the TIMC will be used as the business model.<br /> ** Consortium members are asked to send their text to Randy and Carolyn who will compile it and send a summary to Gordon Williams<br /> * Gordon Williams suggested compiling numerical data that represents the Imaging Consortium's activities.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Consortium is working with CTSC Central programmers to create a system for online consultation request submissions via a web based form and collecting outcome metrics.<br /> ** A Beta version of an online consultation request system is being piloted for the Biostatistics group.<br /> ** The Imaging Consortium will work with the CTSC Central programmers to include software that will track the consultation requests and collect data on the consultations. <br /> ** The Group agreed that numerical data measuring the success of the consultation service should be collected. This may include the number of consultation request submissions, a percentage breakdown of the type of consultation requests received, and the time to complete consultation requests. The Consortium will also consider sending a feedback questionnaire to researchers requesting consultation services to gather additional outcome metrics.<br /> ** Randy will meet with the programmers (Genoa Wall, Britt Fitch, Maria Cervone) on Friday to plan for the construction of this online submission system.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> * The Consortium discussed the PCIR reviews of protocols including an imaging component and when the group should start fulfilling the role of reviewer for the PCIR.<br /> ** Catalyst Central finished finalizing a plan for the protocol submission forms.

To the best knowledge of Annick, Clare, and Bob, BWH and BI are not yet accepting new protocols for review under the PCIR system.<br /> ** Bruce proposed that the Consortium as a whole should immediately assume the responsibility of reviewing protocols with an imaging component that request assistance from the CTSC/CRC.

Imaging Information and Acquisition Liaison Job Position'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> * The CTSC Imaging Consortium is in the process of finishing the last several interviews of our three top candidates for the position and writing evaluations of the candidates.<br /> ** Many members of the Consortium have interviewed the candidates. At least one Consortium member from each site has met all three candidates for the position. <br /> ** Several members have already posted their evaluations of the candidates on the xythos site and sent their rank ordering of the candidates to Carolyn. Consortium members who have not done so are asked to submit their evaluations and rankings by Thursday.<br /> ** There will be a special t-con to discuss the Imaging Liaison candidates on Friday December 19th at 9:30 am.<br /> ** The Consortium members reported that they have no further questions and are prepared to make a decision on Friday during the t-con.<br /> ** Randy received one additional recommendation for one of the candidates, which she has posted on the xythos site. <br /> ** Randy proposed January 2nd as a potential start date for the position. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''2. Coordination with CTSC Central (Randy)'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The Consortium is working closely with CTSC Central to facilitate the goals of both this imaging group and Harvard Catalyst as a whole. <br /> <br /> * The first CTSC Progress report is due on January 8th. CTSC Central has requested that the Imaging Consortium submit within the next week:<br /> ** a summary of our accomplishments as a group<br /> ** a description of how the Imaging Group contributes to the Harvard catalyst's and overall national CTSA's efforts<br /> ** and our plans for the next year.<br /> * The Group discussed and agreed upon the content to be used for the progress report.<br /> ** Jeff and Annick are active in the CTSA Clinical Trials subgroup, ACRIN meetings, and the RSNA CTSA Imaging Working Group meetings (which includes a Bi-Monthly conference call). Bruce and Ron are active on the CTSC Imaging Workspace and the Informatics Committee. Randy, Ron, and Bill also participate in the Informatics meetings.<br /> ** The Consortium plans on putting together an image analysis core with a fee for service. Clinical trials at the TIMC will be used as the business model.<br /> ** Consortium members are asked to send their text to Randy and Carolyn who will compile it and send a summary to Gordon Williams<br /> * Gordon Williams suggested compiling numerical data that represents the Imaging Consortium's activities.<br /> <br /> * The Consortium is working with CTSC Central programmers to create a system for online consultation request submissions via a web based form and collecting outcome metrics.<br /> ** A Beta version of an online consultation request system is being piloted for the Biostatistics group.<br /> ** The Imaging Consortium will work with the CTSC Central programmers to include software that will track the consultation requests and collect data on the consultations. <br /> ** The Group agreed that numerical data measuring the success of the consultation service should be collected. This may include the number of consultation request submissions, a percentage breakdown of the type of consultation requests received, and the time to complete consultation requests. The Consortium will also consider sending a feedback questionnaire to researchers requesting consultation services to gather additional outcome metrics.<br /> ** Randy will meet with the programmers (Genoa Wall, Britt Fitch, Maria Cervone) on Friday to plan for the construction of this online submission system.<br /> <br /> * The Consortium discussed the PCIR reviews of protocols including an imaging component and when the group should start fulfilling the role of reviewer for the PCIR.<br /> ** Catalyst Central finished finalizing a plan for the protocol submission forms.
