Development of an Open Source Research Process Assistance Template that Supports CTSA and Research Initiatives

National Network of Libraries of Medicine - MidContinental Region

Abstract

An open source, locally customizable research process template, MyRA, will be developed to outline the steps of research, and provide tools, needed forms, experts, resources and concepts that support each step. This tool will be built so that other institutions can easily plug local information into the template to provide the same central assistance to their institutions. Development and promotion of the online research support template should be achievable within 8 months, starting June 15, 2010. Researchers will have a one-stop-shop approach to understanding and identifying what research-related resources are at their disposal, what expertise is available to discuss their research, and what procedures need to be followed in order to meet research requirements. As the template is developed, it will be vetted through the MyRA Planning Team, the other two MCR CTSA institutions, and refinements will be made based on feedback received. The MyRA template will be shared via presentations at professional meetings and through a professional publication. Uptake by others of the MyRA template will be assessed through feedback from the national CTSA award institutions, NN/LM, MCR regional medical libraries and AAHSL association members.
