Back to Collaboration:Harvard_CTSC

Action Items (details below)

1. Welcome to Neil Rofsky new representative from BIDMC!
2. All sites to populate and edit their Image Acquisition/Analysis and Education resources on our wiki ASAP. Navigators to work individually with each site representative to do this quickly.
3. All sites to add "use cases" for what services they currently provide to the wiki on the page called "Under Development"
4. Clare agreed to collect information from the RSNA initiative or point us to where to get it.
5. August 5th meeting will be used to begin process of defining consulting services plan based on these use cases

1. RSNA sponsored CTSC connection
Clare briefed us on the already active effort among previously funded CTSC's with Imaging Cores to work together to support within and across site biomedical imaging efforts. She stressed the importance of staying closely connected with this effort as our site will be judged by NIH in comparison with this benchmark (e.g. we should be up to speed on all that they are offering). Group agreed to share the responsibilities of attending these T-cons and the face-to-face meetings for this and other similar efforts known to be coming (ACRIN meeting is on the radar screen for early October for instance). Clare is willing to be our initial liaison for obtaining information on site resources. Ron Kikinis is already hooked in on the topic of neuroinformatics.

1. User requests to Randy, others? can drive our assessment of what services to provide
2. Curation of imaging resources
3. Vet ideas written in past minutes (Under development) to discuss, pass forward as group goals, add dates and names

2. Consultation Service
Group agreed this would take more discussion as this is the key focus of our work. We will use our next face to face meeting at BIDMC on August 5th to tackle this. Based on the auto-replies I got back from this morning's emails, Gordon Harris, Annick and Jeff should all be back in town and hopefully can join. In preparation for this we agreed to gather our ideas by using "USE CASES" or examples of consults we are already receiving from Clinical Translational investigators. Randy has started a page for this on the wiki we can all populate. Clare will either send Randy her screening sheet they use at the BWH GCRC Imaging core to help organize this page or do it herself.

2. Education Program
Group vetted the plans we discussed previously. Randy to prepare them in a table format with timelines. Final decisions regarding content and speakers for mini-series to be determined after we complete compiling our existing resources.

3. Collaborative response to Harvard-wide Technology White Paper
Bruce?

4. Curation of Site resources
Randy to present criticism of MGH site info and get input for what our vision is..

5. Regulatory Issues
