2. New slides with consultation statistics

• Valerie sent the members slides with the statistics about the consultation. She reminded everybody to send her their list of informal consultations. If it turns out to be more easier, she will go to the different institutions and collect the data. The numbers should be collected before the mini-retreat on June 9.
• The goal of the consortium is to increase the number of consultations submitted through the Catalyst website. Everybody needs to educate their collaborators about the very easy way to request a consultation through the portal.
• Another important goal is the outreach to the medical community outside Harvard, at the national level.
