o
Perhaps we need to expand on what is needed – "report" and/or "minutes" from the
ERP meeting?
o
Include a list of what information may be needed or example of format/template of
the report (start with the report Deborah put together)
1. When did the method receive First Action status
2. When was the method recommended for Final Action status including the vote
3. What were the outcomes/discussions
Suggestion of a checklist for the OMB Liasion to use during the ERP
discussions of first to final action; attaching an example was discussed to
include:
OMB is requiring to review the draft of the final action journal manuscript (w/reproducibility
data), if available.
o
The OMA Final Action method will be based on the Final Action journal manuscript
o
There may be situations where the first and final action manuscripts are the same
(just waiting on feedback, ERP recommendation to final action). This needs to be
stated in the report.
A copy of ERP report where the first to final action decision was made needs to be available
