Planning-Priority Stage

优先级设定阶段 IAC将使用以下标准来确定资源需求：1）调查人员是否能够获得足够的 是否及时获得了进行研究所需的材料？临时行政委员会的审议将 澄清机械解决方案（例如，提倡简化（或购买卡）订购系统）是否 指出了基础设施需求将通过考虑以下问题来确定：1）是否有 是否有足够的行政支助，使工作量适应需求？2)是否有足够的机会获得导师， 学员？3)伙伴关系参与者之间是否在各自机构内举行会议？4)是 远距离会议能力的质量和易用性是否足够？5)是否有充足的差旅资源 可用于面对面的培训和研究互动？基础设施需求失衡的补救措施 将涉及确定优先次序和转移资源，以弥补伙伴关系支助结构中的差距。在一些 个案伙伴关系需要将需要与机构领导人谈判，以获得更多资源、 支持人员或部门共同赞助活动。临时行政理事会对长期伙伴关系需要的审议 可能会导致建议联合机构招聘特定领域的教师。 在伙伴关系的第二年，年度务虚会还将涉及“概念图”活动， 伙伴关系利益攸关方之间有共同和不同的优先事项和战略。这些演习的目的是 将阐述利益攸关方之间在伙伴关系优先事项方面的共同点和差异， 基础设施和后勤要求，以成功地满足优先事项，以及长期愿景， 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、举措的执行和评价（4）。最近的一个例子， 这一方法的一个重要成果是在夏威夷规划一项全州范围的健康倡议（5）。行政核心将 通过协商安排概念规划工作，作为2010年初举行的伙伴关系务虚会的一部分， 第一年和第三年的补助期。

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.
