 Now I have something far less appealing to offer to the council, which is it's time for the ever-popular council initiated discussion Those of you that have been on council for a while understand that this is the time when we put our listening ears on not that We've been ignoring all your advice up until now But we we ask you if there are reports or other presentations that you would like NHGRI to prepare for future council meetings or as representatives of the scientific research community Are there issues out there that you want to draw to our attention? Wow compliant group go ahead Eric Since these often turn into guest speakers, you know a year from now or two councils from now I wonder if it would be good to get a council meeting on Eric Dishman's calendar once you know NHGRI was very much involved in the early planning conceiving of PMI It's now morphed two or three times and its reality has a new name Maybe it'd be good to have Eric come in great. So a lot's happening and and launches eminent and We're increasingly Interactive with them And so I think I could have a conversation with Eric and figure out whether September is the right time or more like February, but I think some one of those I think I would agree. It's a good idea Good to try and I I like I like the fact that I Like to see you know can you know regular touching base with them including with council including among the advisors would be a great idea Well, it was mentioned earlier today that I believe it's the Institute of Medicine that just issued this report on Genetic evidence and whether I downloaded it Like 150 pages whether what's record studies that are recommended for genetic evidence or evidence for genetic testing I was wondering if perhaps at a future council having someone that was on that committee Discuss those findings and more detail since we talk about it in a lot of our grant applications now thank concepts Yeah, we have this sometime Maybe two or three years ago, but With a change in administration and FDA leadership we get someone from the FDA See if there's new philosophies Yeah, interesting question, especially knowing they're gonna about to get a new leader There's been some churn a little bit of turnover in In that office in terms of the least one person we were dealing with no longer there So I dance a great suggestion will we'll talk I'll talk to our policy group and see if they have ideas of what's the right timing for that I Yeah, I think we should talk about find out find out from them when they'd be comfortable Yeah, Jeff You have a particular interest in the end site grants. We haven't heard about those in recent meetings So can we get an update on those at the next meeting or two? Okay, I will I will point out that I mean as you know child health Institute has when Diana presented here and the last council meeting Diana Bianchi and And you know lots of good discussions continue With them we have some meetings a meeting schedule coming up along long a detailed meeting to really discuss with them other additional opportunities for Collaborations in the extramural program, so I think maybe the timing would be good to look at that This may be Planning way way way in advance, but you know particularly thinking about as some of the bigger programs Come up, you know, I know someone just renewed but come up for renewal a couple years from now You know as we've discussed in the past having them You know having some presentation from scientists involved with those programs You know two to four council meetings in advance of when we'd actually be talking about it would be great So, you know, Jay, maybe I can make a comment without That being relatively vague because it's not structured yet, but but along those lines Maybe I should just point out and I'm happy to to be very open about this the fact that the date on our Street our current strategic plan is 2011 and it's now 2017 and by the time we blink twice it'll be 2018 so we started some internal discussions about You know The the likely need well, we certainly need to renew that strategic plan I don't want it to get too old probably don't even want it to get ten years old something short of and so I but once you sort of make a decision about Going through a new strategic planning process What that does is it creates a framework where you're going to be looking at a Anything that's big at the Institute like some of the programs you allude to are going to likely be swept into broader discussions that are taking place as part of a strategic planning process, so it's probably a I can't detail anything because we don't have anything yet to just sort of talk about but I would suspect Maybe even as soon as the next council meeting Maybe laying out something when we get our ideas a little better organized that I think will create a framework what that will really almost require some of the Detailed discussions about some of our bigger programs that might be renewed over the next two to two to three years Being part of a even a broader discussion, so I think you'll see this happening. I predict naturally Yeah, Carol so since There might be a new working group a Part of council centered on data science if that group has a chance to sort of get together and get the lay of The land and come up with some ideas Challenges recommendations. I would really like to hear from that working group. Yeah, absolutely So any yeah, we clearly need to have continued discussions around data science strategic planning it's time for me to read the conflict of interest statement and This applies to the all the applications that you will be reviewing in the closed session You must leave the meeting room when applications submitted by your own organization are being individually discussed in the case of state higher Education or other systems with multiple campuses that are geographically separated own Organization is intended to mean the entire system except where a determination has been made that the components are separate Organizations for the purpose of determining conflict of interest You should avoid situations that could give rise to charges of conflict of interest whether real or apparent For example, you should not participate in the deliberations and actions on any application from or involving your spouse or child a Recent student recent teacher a professional collaborator with whom you've worked closely Close personal friend or a scientist with whom you've had long-standing scientific or personal differences The NHGRI staff will determine the appropriate action based on recency frequency and strengths of such associations or interest Either positive or negative and will instruct you accordingly in Council actions in which your vote on a block of applications without in which you vote on a block of applications Without discussing any individual one application the on block action Your vote will not apply to any application from any institution fulfilling the criteria Noted above Please sign the conflict of interest and disposal of confidential materials forms which are provided in your Folders, they'll be collected at the end of the meeting So I have one last announcement to make In June and July we will be Bringing on board a new set of program analysts. They will be introduced to you at the September meeting but we'd like to say goodbye to a group who are Leaving us moving on to something bigger and better in life So could I ask the following people to stand so that we can recognize you and embarrass you at the same time? Julia Baker Colette Fletcher hoppy Kevin Lee and Jonathan Lotempio So these people are headed off to graduate school or medical school or as I said Something better than being a program analyst at an hgri. I think that There are plenty of things better I think council understands how many large consortium programs and hgri supports and Managing those weekly phone calls data calls report writing Organizing annual meetings It's it's an enormous amount of work and the program directors would be Bitter bitter folks if they had to do this without the dedicated assistance of the analysts Thank you very much, and I think you can gavel us into the closed session. Okay, we are adjourned We're adjourned for about 10 15 minutes. Let the communication staff take apart the video casting and then we'll resume 15 minute break
