Coming Soon…. • In February 2013, Corporate Materials Management is moving away from the e-mail submission of contract requests and questions in favor of an integrated Contract Management Solution (a.k.a. Ariba • The Contract Management Solution is designed to capture your request, offer you up to the minute status of your request, standardize contract development, track metrics and strengthen operational, contractual and regulatory compliance. • HOW IT WORKS The solution is comprised of three main components, including: • Contract Creation - an automated process that drives the use of pre-approved contract templates and legal clauses, streamlined contract negotiation and collaboration, and process standardization • Contract Repository - the centralized contract repository and search capabilities address the fiduciary needs of Corporate Materials Management by making regulatory compliance and reporting easier and faster • Contract Metrics – reporting to provide Corporate Materials Management with the data needed to manage group performance and assist with our continuous improvement initiatives

  13. NIH Update

  14. New Public Health Service Announcement Regarding Travel Disclosure Requirement • On 10/18/12, NIH issued a clarification on the rules regarding reporting travel reimbursed or sponsored by an outside company, which has significant implications for the way investigators should report their travel. • One key change is that investigators are only required to report reimbursed or sponsored travel expenses that exceed $5,000 from a single entity measured on a rolling 12 months basis. • The NIH had previously indicated to us that there was a $0 threshold for reporting travel expenses. • While this significantly reduces the burden associated with reporting travel, the NIH also clarified that investigators must report travel of their spouse and dependent children when the company paying for the travel is related to the investigator’s institutional responsibilities at Partners. • OII has posted further explanation and examples on its website. See http://pulse.partners.org/OII/NIHRegsExplanation.html#TravelExample for examples.

  15. Vision FMS

  16. Announcing the Roll out of Vision Fund Management System (FMS) • Add value to current Vision users by providing a common platform for financial management reporting for managers that manage areas that cross the continuum – Hospitals cost centers, Hospital research and sundry funds, and PO cost centers. • Automate analytic processes for Research Controller and Research Management Analytic team. • Improve on timing and method of delivery for project grants and sundry funds reporting and for research analytic data. • Provide a reporting tool with drill down capabilities. • Provide ad-hoc reporting and analysis capabilities (utilizing Query studio tool). • Ability to consolidate research activities for Partners System.

  17. FMS Is Not… • A replacement tool for INSIGHT, the transactional Research system that is currently utilized by the research community. • A management reporting tool for Principal Investigators (PI) that utilize Insight. • Providing daily refreshment of data – Vision FMS is published twice a month. • Users Targeted for Vision FMS • Department Administrators with responsibilities over both operations and research activities and who do not use Insight • Controllers and corporate level reporting users • Research analytic group

  18. Security Access Approval Process A user can’t request access for himself/herself – access requests need to come from a manager for his/her staff. Manager completes the “Access Request” form found on the Vision FMS home page. Manager must specify whether PAYROLL access is appropriate. For any questions, contact your entity representative (Raquel Espinosa). Gatekeeper reviews and approves Security template updated overnight on Vision
