Leadership:TCON 04 17 2006

Scheduled for 1pm EST, Monday, April 17th.

Attendees: Guido Gerig, Andy Saykin, Marek Kubicki, Bill Lorensen, Steve Pieper, Tina Kapur

Highlights:

• Reviewed lastest draft of the 2006_Annual_Scientific_Report
• All theme theme summaries will use the bulleted format to show key investigators (example in Marek's DTI summary). Whether the key investigators are listed for each project group within the theme, or altogether at the end of the theme, is the call of the author.
• Q: will the report be submitted on the wiki or as a word/pdf file. A: not decided yet. The writeups of all the sections should structured such that a printout of this wiki page should be self-sufficient i.e. the links should only lead to supplemental information and not key details.
• Q: what about links? A: from the report, the only links should be to projects in this page: NA-MIC_Internal_Collaborative_Projects which are all in a uniform format (Obj/Key Investigators/Progress) or to the Publications page.
• Highlights section is a bit general and perhaps should be made more concise. Software Proces one could perhaps just focus on one piece - cpack? An additional good highlight would be the DTI path of interest work between Dartmouth, MGH, Isomics could be used as one. Who can do this? (Andy Saykin has agreed to do it).
• Timeline - looks good so far. Ross will follow up with Ron separately.
• Impact - Bill is working in the Georgia-Tech/UCI collaboration story as an instance of how the center works.
• NA-MIC Kit - a couple more projects added to the collaborative projects list (KW Widgets, MRML, Execution Model). These need to be filled out by Core 2 investigators.
• Q: should we add pictures in the report. A: no.
• Questions for Ron:
  • NA-MIC Kit summary is about 5 pages. Guideline is 2 pages. Do we pare this down? No
  • Should we remove Training/Dissemination from Highlights and NA-MIC Kit and make it a separate theme? Next year
• Next call (hopefully last one): this Friday, April 21st at 2pm EST.
