• Planning: September due date with guidelines published in January impacted the planning stage
• Experience: Several key members new to CCSG preparation and submission or in a new role since previous submission: Director; 4 out of 6 Associate Directors; 7 out of 10 Program Leaders; 2 new cores with new directors
• Guidance: EAB in old guideline mode during construction of CCSG
• Logistics: Difficulty in developing template for 12 page research narrative
Challenges

CCSG Guidelines: Briefly discuss the following
• How the interests, expertise and research approaches of the Program members facilitate achievement of the central themes listed in the description above (80-90 pages above!)
• The most significant scientific accomplishments of the Program
• Briefly describe how the cancer research relevant to the catchment area is addressed
Research Program Narrative

Our folks and the EAB asked “where are these items?”
• Response to summary statement critique• Value added to the Program from the Cancer
center (also in review criteria)• Value added to the Cancer Center from the
Program • Research Program Training and Education
activities• Future Plans
But…

Page Limit: 12 Pages!
The Problem

Page 1 • Program Goals and Themes (restated from program description) • Response to Previous Summary Statement (brief and just the
critical ones)
Pages 2-10 • Major Scientific Accomplishments
Pages 11-12 • Program Relevance to the Catchment Area • Research and Clinical• Education and Outreach Activities• Value Added to the Cancer Center from the Program• Vision and Future Plans

Retitled Section
• Value Added by the Cancer center to the Research Program: Shared Resource and Services Usage (also in review criteria for research program)
• We added support through: – Seminars – Pilot projects– Grand Rounds speakers– Faculty recruitment
Value Added By Cancer Center

• Major services/equipment• Management Structure• Cost Effectiveness• Qualifications of personnel• Use of Service• Policies on Operation
Formatting Shared Facilities

• What are the quality and cost efficiency of the service provided, and how effective are accessibility policies governing institutional and other specialized shared resources?
• How appropriate are the qualifications of the staff and their time commitment?
BUT…
• FOA/Guideline Changes: More emphasis on support of science as opposed to usage metrics
Shared Facilities Review Criteria

Additions• More emphasis on support of science as opposed to
usage metrics
Template• 6 pages addressing the formatting from above
including response to summary statement• 6 pages on importance to Center’s Scientific Needs
and Objectives; short science stories and publications
FAO/Guideline Changes

• Get everyone to know and use the new terms: e.g. Interventional therapeutic, Interventional non-therapeutic, Non-therapeutic and where they are used
• Use an EASY mechanism to transmit files to internal and external reviewers: IU Box is too complicated
• Clever ideas for metrics created 6-9 months earlier need an easy to find place for the data details
Other Hurdles / Lessons Learned

What I won’t miss:
Lugging over 8,000 single sided pages of paper across campus to our Office of
Research Administration
