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.
