Priority Stage

优先级设定阶段 咨询委员会将使用以下标准来确定资源需求：1)调查人员是否有足够的机会获得足够的资源 进行研究的材料，这些材料是否及时获得？IAC的审议将 澄清机械化的解决方案(例如，倡导简化(或购物卡)订购系统)是否 已注明。基础设施需求将通过考虑以下问题来确定：1)是否有 充分的行政支持，使工作量适应需求？2)是否有足够的机会通过以下方式获得导师 学员？3)合伙参与者之间的会议是否在其所在机构内进行？4)是 远程会议功能是否具备足够的质量和易用性？5)是足够的旅行资源 是否可以进行面对面的培训和研究互动？针对失衡的基础设施需求的补救措施 将涉及确定优先次序和转移资源，以弥合伙伴关系支助结构中的差距。在一些 在合作伙伴关系需要的情况下，需要与机构领导层进行谈判，以获得更多资源、访问 支持人员或部门共同赞助的活动。IAC对长期伙伴关系需求的考虑 可能会导致建议联合院校在特定领域招聘教师。 在伙伴关系的第二年，年度务虚会还将包括“概念图”练习，以确定 伙伴关系利益攸关方之间共同和不同的优先事项和战略。这些演习的目标是 将阐述利益攸关方在伙伴关系优先事项方面的共同点和不同点， 成功满足优先事项的基础设施和后勤需求，以及 伙伴关系。概念图是一种在开发过程中获取和分析群体输入的形式化方法 行动计划、战略规划、倡议的实施和评估(4)。最近的一个实用程序示例 这一方法的一部分是在夏威夷规划一项全州卫生倡议(5)。行政核心意志 在早期进行的伙伴关系务虚会中，通过协商安排概念图练习 在资助期的第一年和第三年。

PRIORITY-SETTING STAGE The IAC will use the following criteria to identify resource needs: 1) Do investigators have access to sufficient materials to conduct their research and are they being obtained in a timely manner? IAC deliberations will clarify whether mechanistic solutions (e.g. advocating a streamlined (or purchasing card) ordering system) is indicated. Infrastructure needs will be determined by considering questions such as the following: 1) Is there adequeate administrative support to adapt workload to demand? 2) Is there adequate access to mentors by mentees? 3) Are meetings occurring between partnership participants within their own institution? 4) Are distance-conferencing capabilities adequate in quality and in ease of use? 5) Are adequate travel resources available for face-to-face training and research interactions? Remedies for imbalanced infrastructure needs will involve prioritization and shifting of resources to bridge gaps in the partnership support structure. In some cases partnership needs will entail negotiation with institutional leadership for additional resources, access to support staff, or departmental co-sponsorship of activities. IAC consideration of long-term partnership needs may lead to recommendations for joint institutional recruitment of faculty in specific areas. In year Two of the partnership, the Annual Retreat will also involve "Concept Mapping" exercises to identify common and disparate priorities and strategies among partnership stakeholders. The goal of these exercises will be to elaborate commonalities and differences between stakeholders regarding partnership priorities, infrastructure and logistic requirements for successfully meeting priorities, and long-term visions for the partnership. Concept mapping is a formal methodology for obtaining and analyzing group input in developing action plans, strategic planning, implementation and evaluation of initiatives (4). A recent example of the utility of this approach was in the planning of a statewide health initiative in Hawaii (5). The Administrative Core will arrange concept mapping exercises through consultation as part of partnership retreats conducted early in the first year and in the third year of the grant period.
