Presentation Transcript

  1. UCSF Cores Portal – a project of CTSI Translational Technology Resources & Virtual Home Mini Kahlon, Robert Smith, Kathleen Cameron

  2. Cores Portal – Process Overview • Identify, Engage, Get information about Cores – Robert Smith • Key information: • Name, Location, Core category, Services available, Contact Information • Design simple database and web portal to access and search information – Kathleen Cameron

  3. Next Steps & Vision • Improve portal based on feedback from YOU. • Move towards decentralized management • Integrate with a more complete ‘virtual home’ for researchers • Sync with national efforts

  4. Brief Background • The “2007 CTSI-TTR Core Facilities Coordination Questionnaire” was carefully designed by the TTR Program to be as inclusive as possible • It was widely distributed and made available online to Core Directors and Managers beginning July 31, 2007 • A total of 76 Core Facilities responded

  5. Key Findings • Fred has already addressed several ways the CTSI (and, in particular, the TTR Program) will reach out to Cores in his presentation earlier this morning. • Elizabeth and Teri will deliver an interactive presentation focused on top Core challenges and needs later this afternoon • I will speak to some of the other key data collected via the questionnaire that will not be part of their respective presentations.

  6. Distribution of Core Clients

  7. Distribution of Financial Support Recharge Other

  8. Distribution of Core Categories Note: This data set based on 64 Cores reporting.

  9. CTSI’s Core Portal & Core Facilities Database In response to the question: Does your Core have a Web site? 70% - Responded Yes; 30% Responded No And, many of those who responded in the affirmative acknowledged that a majority of content on their Web site is currently out of date. There exists a very real need for greater visibility and exposure of the unique services and equipment that our Cores offer. One means by which to accomplish this is to create a Core Facilities Database; one component of a larger vision known now as the “CTSI Core Portal”, which will serve our immediate campus community and beyond. Kathleen Cameron will now briefly discuss these aspects…

  10. Core Portal Design • Development was focused on 2 use case scenarios: • Returning users • New users

  11. Your Feedback is Valuable • This portal was developed in a flexible manner so that it can evolve as information needs change. • Managers can help inform the quality of the content and how clients typically ask questions when looking for Core services and/or equipment. • The client perspective will help inform usability.
