Notes from Self Study Meeting 3/27/07 Key Issues: •	Balance of research and teaching •	Departments responsible for their disciplines at school. •	Computing environment has enhanced collaborations with other departments •	Expanding to non-degree seeking clientele – educational outreach •	Consulting Center update •	Biostat makes the school competitive in research and education •	More organized way to connect 3+ year students to funding and research opportunities- consolidating the info on funding to one place •	Size of student stipends •	Faculty liaisons to substantive departments – informal franchises- should there be an expectation for senior faculty to do this? •	Intro sequence enrollments over time by: 	611-614 		Note: in person and online 	621-624		657-654		Special Studies 	615-616		Masters 	646-649		Doctorial 	671-674   •	Health biomedical education of biostatistic PhD students •	Histogram of courses per year by full time faculty and active joint appointees in the past 3 years •	Trends within the school •	Biostat is at the center of health informatics •	Public Health Surveillance •	Issue: Departmental Growth of tenure tract faculty and primary appointees: o	Historically we have managed our growth o	Future opportunities: i.e. retirements and departures 	3-4 positions coming available 	4-6 more positions of growth 	Total of 7-10 new people o	Substantial growth opportunities- Students and joint appointees 	Scientists, post docs, non-tenured tract faculty, and joint appointees o	Students 	PhD students – controlled growth with TT faculty 	Masters students- substantial growth o	Space: 6 faculty offices will be available and 2 post doc offices
 * What do other students take and how often, over time?
 * go 5 years back on this

Outline

Executive Summary- a broad overview -	Mission statement – Tom has this part -	Short History of University, School, and Department -	Role of the Biostat Department within the school -	Past and Future Trends o	Growing professional and non-traditional education 	MPH, DPH, Exec MPH & DPH, special industry courses o	Growing number of faculty affiliated with other departments o	Growing demand/need for Bios tat ideas, research, & education o	Growth of biostat ideas/methods in bioinformatics, health services research, neuroimaging, and informatics. o	Diversification of biostat research and publication outlets o	Informatics explosion o	Public health practice

1: Growth – Meeting the trends 2: Role of the biostat department and biostatisticians in major programs and grants 3: Relationship of department of biostat to biostatical activities outside of the department -	Should we all be under one department? 4: Hopkins Center for Statistical Sciences 5: How does Biostat articulate its relationship to the emerging informatics field? What is Biostat? - Connection to stat genetics, bioinformatics imaging (I4M), Clinical trials, Health informatics -	science for acquisition management to use health informatics o	info  data  knowledge  wisdom 6: Diversification of biostat faculty- finding common ground among our entire faculty despite our difference backgrounds 7: Centrifugal v. Centripetal forces on biostatistics


 * Address the competing models about how the department should be run- (i.e. only hire post docs v. don’t hire any post docs)

Tables to Include from Self Study 2003 in Self Study 2007

3.1 – update this table- go back to 1998 3.2 – update 3.3 – need this table – 1998 to current 3.4 – needs to be comprehensive – keep it and have people update it on Wikipedia- need to define “partnership”

4.1 and 4.2 – combine these into one chart or hot link info from 4.1 to the names on 4.2 – only include the past 5 years- change wording from “job” to “positions”

Figure 4.1 needs to be revamped to show the process

4.3a need to keep for new chair but maybe combine it with 4.3b

6.1 add “pending, active, and completed” and a table for all Co-PI’s who assisted for more than 10% of the time.

6.4 keep this and have faculty update it on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia vs. Wikibooks
Regarding your encyclopedia article on John Hopkins Self Study, I think that you have mixed up Wikipedia and Wikibooks. Articles in Wikipedia have to be encyclopedic in character. --  rxnd  ( t  |  &#8364;  |  c  ) 14:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
