 * The format will be Miniseries delivered each week on four consecutive weeks, each lecture 60-90 minutes (final choice has to wait until we finish developing content)
 * Live presentations will be offered on both Longwood and MGH campuses either simultaneously or serially

-Lowering barrier to utilization (GAC review? Applications????)
+In this as in all our past meetings an issue or question that required input from the Regulatory group was raised. This time is was whether it would be possible in the transition from GCRC to CTSC oversight to lower the barriers to utilization of our resources by clinical translational investigators (e.g. will there still be formal applications?  GAC review?).  Randy and Bruce discussed this further with the Navigators and made a formal request to have someone from the Regulatory group attend one of our future meetings to collect our questions/suggestions about issues that come up for us as well as to be updated by them on their plans for the CTSC that are underway.
