Telemedicine-Based Burn Research Initiative Longitudinal Outcomes of Patients - Phase II
Abstract
The research team was notified in May that our project had been funded with a reduced budget, which we had agreed upon with our TATC Project Manager. We then notified Jeff Quillin in the Brooke Army Medical Center Department of Clinical Investigations because he is the person responsible for dealing with grants and CRADAs. The money for the Phase I portion of this research study was in place with the Geneva Foundation in Tacoma, WA. We desired the Phase II funds to be located there as well for proper distribution of the funds and payment of our project director for this project. Until July 2005, we had been told on regular basis by Mr. Quillin that the statement of work, sole source justification, and the CRADA were in process. The research team contacted him at least once every week to ask about the status of this project. At the end of July 2005 we were informed that there was a problem with the MIPR and that the money had to be sent back to USAMRAA. Dr. Yoder (COL, USA, Ret.), the associate investigator for this study, and the PI were then told that contracting at USAMRAA had to complete the paperwork so the money for this project could be directly sent by a transfer of funds to the Geneva Foundation. I informed Mr. John Winston, the Project Coordinator for this project at TATRC, of our problems and concerns and he stated that he would assist the research team by contacting Ms. Hull at USAMRAA. Dr. Yoder subsequently contacted Ms. Hull when she did not hear back from anyone. Ms. Hull advised Dr. Yoder that the paperwork was with Ms. Rebecca Tamra. Ms. Tamra was contacted and she stated that a statement of work (SOW) was needed from TATRC and that Ms. Belcher was working on that issue. Dr. Yoder contacted Ms. Belcher and she told Dr. Yoder that TATRC does not create the SOW. Dr. Yoder told Ms. Beicher that she knew a SOW existed for this project because she and the PI had approved a SOW that Mr. Quillin had forwarded in Spring 2005.
