 Annick is leading an effort to develop a Consultation service for the DFCI that will include a business model for how to charge for services.  She is running a retreat the first week in July with her colleagues there to vet ideas and generate a plan that is supported by the research community.  She offered to provide that as input to this group for our further discussion as well as to co-lead our Harvard wide consultation service with Clare Tempany.  The group welcomed this valuable contribution.  She will report back to us following the retreat.  Gordon reported that this is the right direction to be moving as the Harvard CTSC leadership is endorsing the development of a mechanism to handle billing for services.  HE went on to describe the plan developed by the Statistics group to define their “Standard Service Agreement” or the work they will do for all C/T investigators for free (costs supported by the CTSC funding) that includes experimental design consultation and power analyses for grant applications.  They will also offer additional services available for a fee (set an hourly rate) to be paid either from successfully funded CTSC Pilot grants or the C/T investigator’s own funds for work such as assistance in analysis of collected data or manuscript preparation.

 Randy accepted the role of leading the Education subcommittee.  She has already scheduled a time to meet with members of the CTSC Research Education Program. She proposed a candidate Imaging Nanocourse (~90 minutes) targeting radiology fellows, residents and clinical translational investigators who are interested in using medical image data analysis and visualization to be held twice sometime in the early Fall (September/October), once at the MGH main campus and once in the Longwood area and would be co-sponsored by NA-MIC.  A more complete description is attached.  This will be discussed at the next meeting.  All others are encouraged to submit candidate content or ideas at the next meeting or by reply all to this message.
