Equity of Access to Services is Important
With implementation of the new “school tax” funding model, Institutes are repeatedly questioning what should be funded by the Clinical Center versus individual Institute budgets. The Clinical Center must define explicitly the array of services it provides and work to achieve equity of access to these services across all Institutes.
“School Tax” Funding Model must be Reviewed
The “school tax” funding model must be reviewed to determine if it is fair with regard to payment of CC budget by off-campus Institutes and for funding of new initiatives.
Program Growth is Planned
For several years, decline in patient activity has been a cause for concern but currently many Institutes report plans to expand clinical research programs. The Clinical Center must provide the appropriate clinical, laboratory, and diagnostic services to support Institute protocols. Simultaneously, the Clinical Center must identify operational efficiencies to limit fiscal growth.
Lack of Office Space is Limiting Growth
It is critical that office space be provided for clinical research staff.
Accurate Management Data is Critical
In order to support an effective planning process and the identification of operational efficiencies, the Clinical Center must produce accurate and timely data related to resource utilization.
Clinical Research Infrastructure can be Improved
To support growth in the intramural clinical research program, boost morale among clinical investigators, and attract the “best and brightest” talent, Institutes need an optimal infrastructure for conducting clinical research (including patients, space, training, resources, and opportunities for collaboration). Standards for conducting clinical research must be implemented.
