Closed Session (1:00 - 3:00)
1) Intramural Budget Working Group Information - Michael Gottesman
and Barbara Merchant
NIH has an Intramural Budget Working Group is chaired by Michael
Gottesman. Dr. Gottesman created an IR Budget Working subcommittee
chaired by Barbara Merchant. The purpose of this subcommittee was to
see if the IR could save money by pooling resources. Barbara
presented an analysis of the IR Budget expenses from 5 selected ICs
from FY02-04 and identified potential areas where IC's could save
money.
2) Discussion About Future Meetings - Susan Harrelson and Mary
Affeldt
a. Location Changes -- There was a motion to change the location
of the meeting but Susan received only a few responses. Linda Adams
suggested we ask those not attending why aren't they coming. Possibly
change the time to make it easier or use teleconferencing. It will be
a topic for the next agenda.
b. Co-Chair positions and term limits - At the EO/AO retreat,
Susan and Mary learned about term limits for these positions in the
Extramural AO group. Susan & Mary are suggesting that we have a
charter about possibly setting a term limit and opened it up for
discussion. They suggested a 2 year limit and put it to a vote. It
was agreed.
c. Ideas for Upcoming Meetings -- Ideas for upcoming meetings.
Susan asked for suggestions such as NBS, ORISE, etc. and requested
that people send in suggestions to her. At the next meeting, a
discussion may be brought up on how to deal with the current
situation of "stealing each other's employees".
d. "Brown Bag" Meetings with EOs - As a result of the retreat
and the fact that many of us won't be or haven't been mentored by our
EO's, we wanted a forum where we would help to create a pipeline of
information and planning sessions. This will help to facilitate
mentoring, succession planning, issues that need to be worked on
together, sharing of ideas, etc. The EO for the Clinical Center,
Maureen Gormley, agreed to be one of the first, so Mary will work
with Tim Tosten on the agenda and when the meeting will occur.
3) Retreat Feedback and Follow-up - Susan Harrelson and Mary
Affeldt
Susan updated everyone on the follow-up since the retreat.
Recently the retreat committee had a meeting to put together the
plans from the 7 groups to submit something to Colleen. Lynn
Hellinger will be gathering this data and submit the comprehensive
report to Colleen. They are hoping to have this done by January
13th.
Miscellaneous
Hiring controls - a workforce plan. Susan just wanted to be sure everyone had received it and were aware of the deadline.
Susan also put out a plea to have someone else take a committee for her because she is becoming stretched - NIH Architectural Review Board. Basically the role is to review requests for new systems and give your business perspective. They meet about once a month. If anyone is interested, they can e-mail her.
