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.
