  2. Automated Referral Workflow System

  3. Current Referral Process Automated Referral Workflow System

  4. IRG Referral Methods Suggested by Prior Studies Automated Referral Workflow System

  5. Deployed February 2007 • Automated mining of PI requests • Referral suggestions based on machine learning • Decision support/workflow tool Automated Referral Workflow System

  6. Cover Letter Mining -- Approach • Fuzzy match to full study section names • Exact match to study section acronyms • No semantic analysis Automated Referral Workflow System

  7. Automated Letter Classifications • “High Confidence” • “MESH Study Section” • “Reduced Confidence” • “MI”, “Medical Imaging”, “MI” • “No SRG Requests” • No acronyms or names found Automated Referral Workflow System

  8. Cover Letter Mining Results • First electronic new unsolicited R01s (October 2007 Council) • 59% of applications included SRG request • Only 47% two years ago Automated Referral Workflow System

  9. Automated Classification of All Letters Automated Referral Workflow System

  10. How Accurate Are High Confidence Classifications? • 92% of applications reviewed by IRG identified in letter by ARWS • Consistent with data from existing human referral process Automated Referral Workflow System

  11. Cover Letter Mining Conclusions • Automated referral based on requests is feasible • More “High Confidence” letters needed • Better algorithms • Structured cover letters Automated Referral Workflow System

  12. Proposed Structured Cover Letter Please assign this application to the following: Institutes/Centers National Cancer Institute - NCI National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research – NIDCR Scientific Review Groups Molecular Oncogenesis Study Section – MONC Cancer Etiology Study Section – CE Please do not assign this application to the following: Scientific Review Groups Cancer Genetics Study Section – CG Automated Referral Workflow System

  13. Machine Learning Predictions • Applications without requests • Requests are rare for some mechanisms Automated Referral Workflow System

  14. IRG Assignment Prediction Automated Referral Workflow System

  15. Exit Ramp Automated Referral Workflow System

  16. Next Steps • IMPAC II interface is critical • Structured cover letters • Improved machine learning • More mechanisms • Benefits • Reduced referral staff • Review meetings 2-3 weeks earlier (or later receipt dates) Automated Referral Workflow System

  17. Acknowledgements • Support • Office of the Director • Extramural Affairs Working Group • ARWS Project Team • CSR Staff (Dipak Bhattacharyya, Eileen Bradley, Suzanne Fisher, Richard McKay, Richard Panniers, Laura Roman, Kalman Salata, Sean Tate) • Discovery Logic (Kirk Barden, Marty Brown, Mike Pollard, Greg Young) • IC Staff (Arthur Castle)
