I am away on vacation this week, but I spoke with her briefly today about our current situation. What I think we need: 1) tracking study costs, including costs peripheral to the study such as investigator expenses and travel, as well as costs peripheral to the investigators, communications budgets (contractors), and main study administration via API. All of this is captured in a total study budget of almost $ 23 million .. 2) this tracking should be in association with study performance milestones, including projected costs and milestones until work is in public literature 3) early warning in possible overspending. I would guess this is going to be an iterative process, with the help of the technical committee for the milestones part. Paula: you or Bruce or Lorraine should still be the direct contacts with the University of Colorado and Applied Health Sciences but Tarita could help frame the questions. Paula: I have not yet seen your note with the spreadsheets for me to forward to Tarita, so please send her a copy when you sent them to me so she is not waiting for me to forward these. Now that I have connected the two of you, please feel free to contact each other directly.
