Research Sponsors Group Role Regional Research Interests RTF Research Needs Identifying what regional research can be leveraged (or developed) to inform RTF research needs
What is the scope? Addressing non-Proven RTF measures Addressing full library of measures (Proven measures) Broader coordination
RTF is not defining regional research priorities. The goal is to connect those priorities to RTF research questions where they exist. • If something is not a priority for the region, that is okay. The measure can sit in Planning status for as long as needed. • If there is a difference of opinion between RTF and Research Sponsors on priorities, we will want to understand the disconnect. • Convening of this group is intended to give a home for starting conversations on potential interest in sponsoring research • This group is not intended as an RTF “pass the hat” • We want to be mindful to not duplicate the role of other regional coordination groups (ex: NWRG or RETAC) Key Considerations for Group
RTF recognizes that near term budgets are set and developing a research plan and securing funding takes time • RTF has generally set 3 year sunset dates for Planning measure recognizing that not all are a priority today and that even today’s priorities may not be able to be funded immediately • RTF (and this group) recognizes that expressing potential interest in research does not equal a commitment to fund the research • Specifics of these discussions will not be shared outside of this group • Funding for projects would not flow through the RTF, and any coordination of research would be worked out through the interested parties directly • We can discuss what role, if any, this group wants me to play to convene coordination discussion Key Considerations for Group
What is the process flow? 2. 1. 3. 1. Once identified/defined, would inform RTF Research Plan with goal of moving measure to Provisional 2. Will remain Planning measures and the RTF (and Funders Group) will revisit down the road to reexamine priority. 3. Will work with Funders Group (TBD) to scope out realistic research plan and bring to RTF PAC to consider funding options.
