Introductory Comments

• New ASPECT participants from CCF and FDA
• FDA:  Tina Morrison is going to help with computational modeling efforts from FDA perspective to make sure that any models that are developed will meet FDA needs

 

Status of R01 Grant

• Meeting with CCF Modelers
• Brian Davis, Ahmet Erdemir, Melissa Young – help to write the computational modeling section
• Have experience with solid modeling
• As Vik is writing R01 grant application:  CCF folks will add in the computational modeling information
• February 5^th submission
• Paul:  there is also a January 18^th grant that may be appropriate
• NIBIB grant

 

Computational Modeling Protocol

• Addition of Solid Modeling (T. Morrison edits)
• Not all the right people are on the call
• Tina won’t be able to attend until next week
• ACTION (All):  Ask folks to comment this week on the website and then discuss next week
• QUESTION: if anyone has problems editing on line, please let Lisa know

 

Outstanding ACTION Items

• Tech Transfer Agreements – FDA is drafting
• Working on finalizing the collective MTA for most of the participants
• ACTION (Paul):  give Achim a wish list for what sizes and how many stents they’d like to have  (Melissa will help)
• ACTION (Tina):  update the references to include expanded references that she is referring to (on ASPECT site)
• ACTION (Alexander):  Wedge discussion – Alex should FU with Paul to finalize how to fund and design what is needed;  Paul will coordinate a FU discussion with Alexander and other CCF folks who will be appropriate to build
• ACTION (Paul):  estimation of costs (if dividing by multiple companies)
• PAUL:  trying to stay below 500k/year direct costs for NIH funding grant (to minimize justifications)
• For industry funding:  will budget slightly differently
• Meeting with modelers later this week to figure out how they think costs will need to be adjusted
• ACTION (everyone):  more discussion on computational modeling next week
• Brian/Melissa – have training at 4pm next Wednesday, so won’t be able to participate
• Will try to make comments on line so others can see
• Ahmet should be able to discuss

 

• Holiday plans
• Most people will be out of office for last 2 weeks, so will be hard to meet
