1. Meet and greet
- The group welcomed one more time Ivan Pedrosa, the new consultant from BIDMC.
2. How can we increase the number of consultations?
- Even if the number of request for consultation is growing steadily, the group is well aware that they is still a large population that does not know about our service.
- One suggestion is to reach out to the people who submitted a pilot grant application with an imaging component but don't have any imager in their group.
- Valerie will work with Michele Sinunu on new metrics of success to collect during the survey post-consultation. Ivan suggested to use the same template as the one send to the pilot grant awardee that ask about how the grant is/will be beneficial for their career.
- Working with the IRBs:
- At DFCI, anybody who wants to start a trial must present it to a senior team, they receive a score at the end of the presentation and need to pass before submitting an IRB.
- At BIDMC there is a scientific review officer that reviews all the IRB protocol with an imaging component
- At BWH, there is no formal mechanism, the reviewers rotate. Clare mentioned that they started to fund some pilot scans for radiologists and non-radiologists (around 10 mini trials).
3. Presentation of REDcap by Chris Botte.
- Chris did a demo of REDcap for the group that generated a lot of interest.
