IRG Referral Methods Suggested by Prior Studies
Automated Referral Workflow System
4
Deployed February 2007
  • Automated mining of PI requests
  • Referral suggestions based on machine learning
  • Decision support/workflow tool

Automated Referral Workflow System
5
Cover Letter Mining -- Approach
  • Fuzzy match to full study section names
  • Exact match to study section acronyms
  • No semantic analysis

Automated Referral Workflow System
6
Automated Letter Classifications
  • High Confidence
  • MESH Study Section
  • Reduced Confidence
  • MI, Medical Imaging, MI
  • No SRG Requests
  • No acronyms or names found

7
Cover Letter Mining Results
  • First electronic new unsolicited R01s (October
    2007 Council)
  • 59 of applications included SRG request
  • Only 47 two years ago

How Accurate Are High Confidence Classifications?
  • 92 of applications reviewed by IRG identified in
    letter by ARWS
  • Consistent with data from existing human referral
    process

Cover Letter Mining Conclusions
  • Automated referral based on requests is feasible
  • More High Confidence letters needed
  • Better algorithms
  • Structured cover letters

Machine Learning Predictions
  • Applications without requests
  • Requests are rare for some mechanisms

Next Steps
  • IMPAC II interface is critical
  • Structured cover letters
  • Improved machine learning
  • More mechanisms
  • Benefits
  • Reduced referral staff
  • Review meetings 2-3 weeks earlier (or later
    receipt dates)
