  3. Agenda • Adoption of ACORP Version 4- 2/1/14 • National lab animal food and bedding contracts • Edstrom CRADA to develop VA-compliant committee management software • Common problems with ACORP reviews- Dr. Richerson • Not just the usual protocol- activities involving animals when animals are not the research subjects- Dr. Huang • ORO Update- Dr. Harper • Q&A and Discussion

  4. National Lab Animal Food and Bedding Contracts • Purpose- provide a ready method of ordering common food and bedding products off of approved national contracts • Will not force any particular product on any program- just make it easier to order and get good pricing • Mike Walsh at Nashville is the lead, Mike Fallon assisting • Market research almost done, SOW being prepared • Award- 2014

  5. Future Contract Efforts? • Caging • Bedding dump stations • Cage/rack washers • Nestlet/enrichment products • Others?

  6. Edstrom (QuestX) CRADA • Agreement between ORD and Edstrom/QuestX to develop VA-compliant committee management software • VA Principals SMEs on CRADA- Tony Laracuente, Alice Huang, Mike Fallon (Atlanta), Theresa Straut (ORD cIRB), others over time • Edstrom Principals- Ralph Henderer (VP), Colette Tommerson (President) • Management of CRADA activities- Chuck Buehler • VA IACUC test sites- San Francisco, Milwaukee, Atlanta

  7. CRADA • Goal- develop VA-compliant IACUC management software, along with animal facility management capabilities (SmartLab) • Edstrom IACUC management software will be adopted in 2014 by Duke University and several large European institutions • Thereafter- move to VA IRB, cIRB, SRS, IBC, R&D Committee development • Training downloads into records- CITI, AALAS LL, possibly TMS • Personnel management for research administrators • Timeline- speculative, but aggressive

  8. Ultimate Goal- Open Contract Competition • Contract for committee management services for all interested stations in large contract funded by ORD • Software hosted off VA network for better access, using SAAS (software as a service) model • Stations will choose which committees they want supported in the software (committees as "plug-in" modules) • Online form completion for PI, online review tools for committee members, agenda and minutes preparation • Open contract competition will determine which vendor is selected
