Proposal to consolidate budgeting and coverage analysis
1. Consolidate budget development for industry trials in the Clinical Trial Business Support Center (CTBSC) housed in the Industry Contract Division (ICD)
2. Consolidate all coverage analyses in the CTBSC
3. The Cancer Center ITR unit would continue to exist as is
4. Federal and non-profit funded clinical research proposals would route through the Research Management Services, with coverage analysis coordinated with ICD
5. Streamline workflow so that processes can occur in parallel, i.e, budget development, contract negotiation and IRB review
6. Use a standard budget template that ensures that all study costs are captured and accurately reflected
7. Provide additional staff to consolidate research billing and monitoring of research compliance in the Clinical Compliance Office.
8. Provide consistent training for faculty, clinical research coordinators, and clinical RSCs.

Funding
• Initial 12 months investment from Medical Center, School of Medicine and EVCP Office to hire staff and start implementation
• To the extent possible and practical, capture administrative costs in study budgets
• Increase clinical trial indirect cost rate from 26% to 33%, with the marginal new revenue made available to cover costs. Approved December 2011, effective date March 31, 2012

Goal: efficient, effective, and supportive campus-wide infrastructure for clinical research
Objective: improve the ability of our faculty to do high quality clinical research and to ensure that UCSF is well equipped to support translational research. The goal includes improvements in all aspects of clinical research: •services to our investigators
•technology solutions for clinical research management, bio-banking
•data storage, retrieval, and data analysis
•streamlined pre-and post-award processes
Success will be measured among other things by:•the volume of work managed by the newly formed support units
•number of study teams being trained on OnCore and the number of studies being initiated and maintained in the system
•number of active users of the IDR/MyResearch environment
•the reduction in the number of unproductive trials
•increase in research compliance
•satisfaction of the clinical research community with the clinical research environment at UCSF

Clinical Research Infrastructure Initiative Project Timeline
Human Study Debit Card Program
Oct 2011
Progress to Date • Implementation of an electronic clinical study management
system– IT Governance Committee endorsed decision to roll out multidisciplinary
version of OnCore suite, including Clinical Research, Registry, and Biospecimen Management
– Pilot program initiated in August 2011- addition of 7 clinical trials, 1 registry study, and 2 biospecimen banking studies
– Campus wide launch in April 2012
• Improvement of financial and administrative services– Budget Office eliminated negative STIP on cost reimbursement clinical
trials, effective July 2011
– Office of Research published partial charge master in IRIS in March 2011, full charge master will be published with APeX go live in June 2012

OncoreProject Purpose
• Deploy a clinical management system leveraging existing technology and resources, specifically Forte Research’s Multidisciplinary OnCore Clinical Research Management System (OnCore-CRM) Software
• Additional applications covered under the agreement with Forte Research are:
– OnCore BioSpecimen Management System (OnCore-BSM) Software
– OnCore Unified Registries Management System (OnCore-URM) Software
16
Roll Out: Phase I
• Communicate to broad community – OnCore/UCSF Open House events– Service anyone can use
• Supportive approach– Consultative
• Team in place to support investigators
– Facilitated roll out• Potential identified early adopters
– Immune Tolerance Network - 12 studies– Neurology - 100 studies– Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) - 150 studies– CTSI– Dermatology

Clinical Research Hub Implementation Project
The goal of this project is to create a website to provide a single portal to resources, expertise, and best practices for investigators and research staff to facilitate efficient, compliant and ethical study conduct and management.

Sharing information to promote Clinical Research
• Information to researchers on regulatory issues, management, training resources (completed, rollout Q1 2012)
• Collaboration between multiple departments

Clinical Research Financial Management Work Group
Charge:
• To develop a best practices document for the campus for clinical trial budgeting and financial management. The resulting toolkit would be used by departments to prepare trial budgets and for getting the appropriate reviews and approvals prior to submission to the sponsor as well as to conduct appropriate financial management of awards during implementation and after closeout
• Deliverable due June 2011
• Members: Christine Razler (Radiology); Lynda Jacobsen (CRS); Jennifer Kellen (Neurology), Nicole Lama (Cancer Center); Suzanne Sutton (Medicine,
Charge Master
• In order to meet the immediate need of clinical coordinators and staff who prepare clinical trial budgets, we have published a partial charge master in the iMedRIS Help section. The charge master has the current retail and research pricing for about 80% of the CPT codes, and hopefully all of the most frequently ones used in trials.
• This is an interim solution until June 2012, when the charge master will become available in the Medical Center’s electronic medical record management system, APeX. For assessments or tests not currently listed in the spreadsheet, study staff still need to contact the Medical Center for the appropriate charge.
