Strategic Planning for Research Support


Jeanette, Joan, Ahlam and Gary continue to work on a strategic plan for supporting research on the AHSC.   We are meeting with stakeholders and beginning to hear some common themes.  Our planning is starting to expand into support for the CTSA (Clinical & Translational Science Award) proposal.  Once the plan starts to come together we will share our early drafts with the entire staff and ask for your input.
 
 So far we have met with Sangita Pawar– Executive Director, Research Affairs, College of Medicine, Sally Reel - Associate Vice President for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education, Collaboration and Community Engagement, AHSC, Anne Rosenfeld – Associate Dean for Research, College of Nursing, Don Saner - Associate Chief Knowledge Officer and Executive Director for Biomedical Informatics Services, AHSC and, from the AHSL, Ahlam, Annabelle, Carol, Jennifer and Mari.  There are others that we still need to meet with.

 We are seeing that many of our current activities are valued by researchers and will continue to be needed.  There are areas where we may need additional resources or personnel.  These relate to networking researchers, tracking productivity, metadata and training.  We’ll keep you posted!
