1. Update on imaging consultation requests

• This week there was no new consultation request submitted through the Catalyst website.
• Randy and Gordon reminded all the members to submitted all the imaging consultation they are doing, Valerie will collect them.

2. PCIR reviews

• All the members of the consortium are requested to review the applications for new protocols involving imaging submitted through the PCIR of the different institutions. Catalyst Central sent a letter explaining what is expected from the members involved in the reviewing process. The consortium members who did not received the letter by the end of the week should contact Valerie or Randy.
  • The consortium agreed that all the applications for new protocols should be send to Valerie who will redistribute them. She will make sure to get a good distribution among the team.
  • The response to these application must be quick. The launching of JIRA in July will facilitate the follow-up.
• The support provided to investigators using imaging resources at the PCIR needs to be capture as work the group does in the context of the Catalyst. It maps nicely (as well as the image data analysis at BWH) to the evaluation plan. It is critical to be able to count for all the work the consortium does. On the same subject, Clare noticed that the consortium members will be asked to review the pilot grant application and Randy and Valerie should ask Catalyst Central how the members can get credit for it as part of the work they do for the CTSC.
