 So we're now on to the part of council called we call council initiated discussion up until now we've been force feeding you information that we think will be of interest to you and good for you. And this is Your chance to push back on us and tell us you've waited until 435 to for us to give you the floor. We've used this time to solicit Ideas things that you want to draw to our attention may be issues that we're not paying enough attention to or topics that you might want to hear the Institute report back Please pardon the interruption. Your conference contains less than three participants at this time. Hang up. If you would like to continue press star one now or the conference will be terminated. Please terminate the conference. So Eric's actually going to run this the floor is open. Joe Eric something's been nagging at me all afternoon that Jill pointed out. And although I'm not in this field. I heard a lot today about big data and bioinformatics and how we're going to have to train all these people yet I saw that Given the variance a little slight dip in the bioinformatics support for funding and I wonder if that in part isn't due to what you pointed out in your slide was these open positions. Two open positions in fact for staff to really put forward the initiatives maybe in that. Is that part of the potential dip. Jeff you may want to move closer to a microphone because I'm going to ask you to make a comment. By the way I But I do want to point I do want to point out that A analysis like like the ones you're referring to they have air bars around them because a lot of it is a function of how we're coding you know grants parts of our portfolio and all that. So, you know, I but I'll look to other senior leadership here to weigh in. I don't think there is any systematic decline in our investment. And I mean I'm not claiming that it's on the uptick. I think it's pretty. I think it's pretty steady state. But as I'm going to ask Jeff to come in a minute. I mean, there have been issues around our ability of just being able to tread water in that area with enough Program director folks working on stuff. And I'll also point out that and also to be fair that the last boy. It's the better part of the last year. We have been sucked in. We starting with me. Mark Geier and then about three or four of our Biomechanics program have really been pulled into This b2k initiative at the NIH level to stand it up. And so even though with none of the spare time that anybody had that almost became especially over the summer. I can tell you just last summer just huge amounts of work. So I think there's a lot of and those aren't excuses. But I actually don't think it's a real decline. But it's also not a growth area. It hasn't been even though we need it to be. It's one of the reasons why we're advertising to positions. But So, Joey, you're you're absolutely right. And we have a bandwidth problem. And Terry alluded to it in terms of the genomic medicine program and the genomic sciences program. I would posit has a more when we're like we're running a lot of very large programs, complicated programs, the people who have the best ability to contribute to the development of the next program on and some of these got kicked to FY 15 because we couldn't finish them in FY 13 or FY 14. Maybe a very difficult problem, right? Be difficult. Yes. Oh, yeah. That's why we need your help. Other Comments, thoughts, things you want to see it where we may as September Council topics, September or next February, either satisfied them or exhausted them or both. Yeah, Joe. I just want to emphasize the informatics portfolio strategy comment that I made early this morning. As a possible Do I have to go through the whole thing? No, no. As a as a possible topic for either September. Yeah, no, no, we've got it. Yeah. And we will we will follow up. We want to make sure we have all the right information. No, no, I understand. I just think there is a little bit of urgency because of what else is going on. Good. Nothing else. Okay. Back to you. All right. So a couple more things to do before we close out the open session. It's my duty to draw to your attention. A couple of things that you can find in the Electronic Council book. The first is a quarterly report. Sorry, wrong page. So the document itself. There's a report on administrative actions, again, found in the Electronic Council book. I think in this case there are three supplements that were made to NHGRI grants. The next is the funding actions from the most recent council that we refer back to what we talked about in February, what we reviewed what you approved in February, you can see the list of awards that have been made there. And the last is the expedited council concurrence report. The three members there are Howard, Amy, and who's my third person on it? Jim. Okay. These are largely SBIR and STTR applications that were reviewed this round. The three of them looked them over and reviewed them, gave feedback to the institute. It allows the institute to start on a rapid pace to make awards sooner than later. And again, in that report, you'll see the list of awards that we propose to make. Okay. The last thing is the reading of the conflict of interest. And Monica, do you want to bring comfort in? Okay, she's ready to go. Presentations from today's open session. There are a lot of presentations that we don't have available there. So the presentations are being sent to me right now. I've gotten a couple of them. We will post them on the website. You can go to the agenda and they'll be clickable there. Okay. All right. So at your desk in the folders, or at your places at the folders, there should be a copy of the conflict of interest form. We'll ask you to pull it out and sign it. And comfort will come around and collected from you. But I'm going to read the chant. This will certify that in the review of applications conducted by the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research on February 11 and 12, 2013, I absented myself and did not participate in the discussion of nor vote on. Any application in which I, or to my knowledge, my spouse, child, or close professional associate has a financial interest, nor on any application from an organization or institution where I am an employee, consultant, officer, director, or trustee, or am negotiating for employment, or otherwise have a financial interest. In council actions in which we voted on a block of applications without discussing any individual one, the so-called on-block actions, my vote did not apply to any application from any institution fulfilling the criteria in the preceding paragraph. So say we all. So please sign that form. And unless I've missed something, I think we're done with the open session. And do you want to gavel us into a transition to... So as we decide what time we're going to reconvene, we will take a break until, while we say right till five o'clock? How about five till five? I think we can clear the room by then. All right. So we will close the open session. And let's plan, just take a break now for about ten minutes. And we will reconvene at five minutes to five. And we'll probably go about one hour or so. Isn't that about our plan? I hope closer to 45 minutes, but it all depends on how talkative you are.
