Developing the CC Operating Plan - Institute Input

Each winter the CC Director completes a series of planning meetings with individual Institutes. Attendees include: Clinical Directors, Scientific Directors, and Clinical Center senior administrative staff. Also invited are Institute Directors, Institute Branch Chiefs, and Clinical Center Department Heads. Following these meetings, the Clinical Center generates a thematic summary of areas of program growth. Subsequently, the Clinical Center meets with principal investigators to better project the potential resource impact on the Clinical Center (e.g., investigator recruitment plans, timelines for protocol approvals, as well as projected patient accrual are reviewed). Institute leadership verify plans and review resource projections.

The overall purpose of the planning process is to:

• obtain Institute plans for use of Clinical Center resources in the upcoming fiscal year and beyond;

• learn about the Institute clinical research plans driving the resource needs;

• review and develop new key initiatives for the Clinical Center strategic plan to assure alignment with Institute needs; and,

• elicit feedback from Institutes on the availability and quality of Clinical Center services.

Institute Planning Process

The Medical Executive Committee advises the Director, CC on clinical aspects of operations and develops policies governing standards of medical care in the CC. The Medical Executive Committee meets twice monthly. The group consists of clinical directors from each Institute and other senior clinical and administrative representatives.

CC Research Steering Committee

The Clinical Center Research Steering Committee (CCRSC) consists of representation from the largest user Institutes in terms of clinical activity as permanent members and rotating members from the remaining Institutes. The CCRSC meets biweekly with the CC Director to provide “user” feedback and advice relating to management policy, resource issues, and strategic planning.
