  15. McLean Hospital Research Vision Questions & Discussion 15

  16. Research Administration Process Improvement (“The Project Plan”)

  17. McLean Hospital Research Administration – Project Management • Research Administration Project Management • McLean Steering Committee • Responsibilities – meet every other week (or more if necessary) to: • Assign tasks and initiatives • Monitor plan implementation / progress • Identify obstacles and potential problems; develop plans to appropriately respond • Ensure appropriate resources and prioritization • Provide updates to S. Rauch and P. Markell • Members • Peter Paskevich, Chair (Sr. VP for Research Administration) • Raquel Espinosa (Associate Director, Research Administration) • David Lagasse (CFO) • Catharyn Gildesgame (Director, Strategic Implementation) • Administrative Support • Kim Roselando (Administrative Manager)

  18. Project Plan Objectives • Clarify and differentiate roles and responsibilities of McLean PIs, PHS Research Management (RM), McL Research Administration (McL RA) and other key supporting offices • Evaluate re-assignment of roles to PHS RM to take advantage of centralized expertise and economies of scale • Ensure PI’s have appropriate level of support inside/outside their departments

  19. Transferring Roles & Responsibilities Re-assignment of roles to PHS Research Management to take advantage of centralized expertise and economies of scale Transfer of Functions PCRO (Partners Clinical Research Office) Industry-sponsored clinical research Tasks: Drafting and negotiating agreements. Projected Volume: 10-15 studies/year RVL (Research Ventures & Licensing) Industry-sponsored pre-clinical research Tasks: Reviewing and negotiating agreements. Projected Volume: 5 - 10/year RVL (Research Ventures & Licensing) Tasks: Intellectual Property Protection, Technology Transfer, MTAs, CDAs, invoicing, tracking and distributing milestone and royalty payments. Projected Volume: 10 new disclosures /year G&C (Grants & Contracts) Tasks: Complex Subcontracts . Projected Volume 10 /year

  20. Why this is important and how it will benefit you • Increased efficiency by leveraging PHS Research Management centralized expertise and economies of scale • Improved customer service and efficiency by consolidating functions in specialized offices • Increased accountability through clarification of roles and responsibilities, reporting relationships • Increased support for PIs provided by knowledgeable, effective and efficient key contacts per activity • Competitive budget negotiations with industry sponsors • Licensing and Marketing of inventions

  27. Email Migration to Partners Exchange Server

  28. Email Migration to Partners Email Timeline • Targeted for early calendar year 2012 • Dependency on PHS readiness of new platform • Timeline assessed weekly with Exchange Team • Provide a 4 week buffer for "transition"

  29. Benefits of Migrating to Partners Email • Continue with @mclean.harvard.edu • also receive mail via partners.org, mclean.org • Ability to set any as primary send/receive • Access to the Partners Global Address book • all users across PHS in exchange, auto lookup • Shared Calendar functionality • Integrated Calendar, email, notes, tasks, etc • Email access outside the hospital via robust website • Integration with smart phones (blackberry, iPhone/iPad) • Ability to delegate to administrative managers • Out of office messages to both internal and external recipients • 24x7x365 support

  30. What Researchers Have To Do • On the "Transition" day • Configure your email clients to send/receive new email through your partners accounts • Begin transfer of mail out of your existing McLean Email account. Completed before McLean Email server is shutdown (Exact Date TBD) • During transition period you will not loose access to email • Step-by-Step documentation has been developed and posted to the RIS site • McLean RIS/ERIS is on site and ready to assist as needed to configure clients, folders, etc

  31. Managing your Mailbox Size • Empty trash regularly • Use http://transfer.partners.org to send large attachments • Archive mail to local folders • Sort Inbox by size and relocate the larger emails

  32. Mail Box Storage • Depending upon current usage, 100 or 300 MB to start and you can request up to 1 GB • The request process is currently under development • Larger mailboxes are not free • Low cost associated with it which will be absorbed by McLean IS • Working on a price structure
