Common Metrics Initiative Session HighlightsRaquel Ruiz
The session focused on:
1. Providing an overview of the Common Metrics Initiative 2.0 Assessment and the key feedback pointsa. Engaged in a conversation of how to move forward
2. Facilitating a discussion on the overall activities of the Common Metrics Initiative and what is on the horizon
CMI 2.0 Assessment Objectives
• Take a pulse on how well the metrics are implemented and utilized at each hub
• Engage with the consortium on ways to improve the metrics and the initiative overall
• Determine a process on how to move progressively forward with the initiative with the goal of measuring how well the consortium is doing as a collective across the metrics
Key Feedback PointsCMI 2.0 will focus on four areas:
1. Determine overall approach or concept for metrics
2. Establish a plan for development/prioritization of new and refinement of existing metrics
3. Refining Common Metrics processes
4. Common Metrics reporting improvement
2.0 Small Group Discussion2.0 Feedback Points:
1. What should be the overarching approach that guides the Common Metrics Initiative?a. One per core vs. Key aspects of CTR vs. Metrics of what we
are doing well vs. Metrics that assess Consortium performance
2. What are approaches for how to work on metrics that may fall outside a hub's direct influence?
Overall CMI Group Discussion
• What has been your most successful strategy with implementing the CMI at your hub? (ex. forming metric teams, data management, developing your TTC, achieving metric strategic management improvements, etc.)
• What worked? Why?
• Separating the quantitative data reporting from the narrative reporting (TTC plan) would allow for timelier reporting back to hubs, what are your concerns or questions about this change? (ex. March 31st due date for numerical data and August for TTC plans)
On the Horizon
• Median Accrual Ratio Metric Operational Guidelines
• Informal discussions on a Community Engagement metric
• Expressions of Interests• Dissemination, Implementation, Knowledge & Translation
sub-group:
• developing, refining and testing basic metrics
• Team Science Affinity Group: Team Science Competencies

1. Great Team Science Contest: 170 stories submitted,
reviewed and winners recognized at the Fall ’18 Meeting
2. Reviewed P&T policies in terms of recognition of
Team Science and resource sharing at 49 CTSA hubs:
Found wide variety of practices, manuscript in preparation.
Held two forums, each held at PhRMA Foundation and attended by
over 40:
2017:
• “Regulatory Interfaces Surrounding the Growing Field of
Additive Manufacturing of Medical Devices and Biologic
Products” (3D printing)
• “The Integration of Emerging Omics and Approaches to Advance
Precision Medicine: How Can Regulatory Science Help?”
2018: Digital health discussed key issues including:
- Data (interoperability, standards, quality, provenance, curation)
- Moving from data to evidence (validation, modeling, use in regulation)
- Specific issues for devices (and re-purposing of non-medical devices
for medical use)
- Broader policy issues (security, privacy, incentives, international
considerations)
Manuscripts in preparation
Regulatory Science to Advance Precision Medicine Working Group
Scott Steele, PhDUniversity of Rochester
Joan Adamo, PhDUniversity of Rochester
Discussion of Areas of Interest for future Workgroups
1. Develop Team Science Competencies: Proposal for workgroup being developed, could be completed before “sundowning” of the current DTF structure
2. Growing out of the recruitment using the HER work: Establishing best practices in the integration of programs that contribute to Recruitment of Research Subjects (e.g. Integrating Special Populations, Patient and Clinical Interaction, Network Capacity, Community).
3. Could we develop a common pilot award platform that would facilitate cross CTSA pilot awards?

Customized Career Development Plan
Shared the Customized Career Development plan from boththe Mentee and Mentor perspectives.
The mentee is able to set up the account. It requires some information about position, research IDs, permanent address, and login information. Once an account is established, the researcher/mentee would move onto the self-assessment, goal setting and selecting from 14 competencies. It has other functions such as adding milestones, scheduling meetings, marking a milestone complete, and a notes section.
The Trainee
The Mentor
The mentor login and functionality consists of a listing thetrainees, the trainees’ goals, upcoming milestones, and acompletion date, along with the trainee timeline for all goals.The mentor is able to enter comments on the mentee’s goals,making this online IDP program interactive.
