2. IRAT/CTSA Joint Workshop March 29-31,2009 in Baltimore

• The CTSA has not come yet with a final agenda.
  • We must try to push to be on the agenda if we want to have a slides presentation.
  • Our role during this meeting will be to show our know how and what we have accomplished so far.
• The list of participant includes: Annick, Jeff, Randy, Bill, Gordon, Bob, Stephan and Valerie. Karl Elmer will probably go to talk about cross-site acquisition.
• For reimbursement for travel expenses, funds have been transfered to the different institutions.

2. Slides for CTSC imaging consortium presentation

• Valerie sent two sets of slides for the members to review. One is for the Radiology Department Heads meetings and is called: Development of Harvard Catalyst Imaging Consultation Service. The second one is for the smaller meetings and is called Harvard Catalyst Imaging Consultation Service.
  • The presentations were sent to the members using the HMS secure file transfer. It will be our tool of choice to share large files in the future, everybody having easy access to that service.
  • Members are invited to look at the slides and send Valerie their feedback.
• Simon is giving a talk at a faculty meeting at Children's at the end of February and he asked if he could get a time slot to present the imaging consultation service. If approved, he will be joined by Randy or Bruce and Valerie to present.

3. XNAT engineer position

• Laura sent the job description to the HR department at Children's hospital and asked them to post it on their web site.
• The consortium invited him a candidate with very good expertise and excellent recommendation for a round of interviews in Boston.
