Classifying R&D: Why and How Organizations Develop Taxonomies for Research Fi...CASRAI
All R&D organizations classify their research activities, either implicitly (e.g., by laboratory or department) or explicitly (e.g., by creating taxonomies to define and map research disciplines and domains). However the lack of clear standards for doing so impedes the sharing and aggregation of data on R&D activities. In this workshop, Jeff Alexander and Patrick Lambe will provide an overview of the organizational needs driving the development of a classification of R&D activities, use cases for such a classification, and the potential advantages of international coordination across such classifications. The workshop, based heavily on a study they conducted for the National Center for Science & Engineering Statistics at the U.S. National Science Foundation, will review alternate approaches to both developing R&D classifications, and streamlining the process of classifying research programs and projects. Topics to be covered include examples of international R&D classifications and their development (such as the Australia-New Zealand Standard Research Classification), design principles for R&D classifications, and new automated and semi-automated classification techniques using semantic analysis and machine learning.

INTRODUCTIONThe increasing discussion about rising healthcare co.docxvrickens
INTRODUCTION
The increasing discussion about rising healthcare cost is fuelled by reports that General Motors paid more for healthcare than for steel per vehicle in 2004,1 and Starbucks paid more for health insurance than for coffee in 2005.2 The continuing rise in development costs for drugs has increased pressure on R&D organisations to contribute to higher efficiency in the overall process of coming up with new drugs.
In the last few years the industry has made significant efforts to address these challenges3 and to increase the productivity of the drug development process. Some of the initiatives have without doubt led to considerable improvements. Examples are the earlier determination of a drug's toxicology profile and early tests to investigate the suitability of a new drug candidate for oral administration or once a day dosing. The question is no longer how good we are in what we are doing but whether we are doing the right things. Further improvements of the overall process should shift from attempts of enhancing effectiveness to a greater emphasis on the efficiency of the processes applied.
In this context a lot of emphasis is put on portfolio management. In the broadest definition, portfolio management describes the process of maximising the value of R&D portfolios through proper resource allocation. This requires an alignment of portfolio management with strategic business objectives. Such objectives should not only be general (e.g., innovation) and quantitative (eg ROI or sales targets). They should also define disease areas of interest, clearly outline the remaining medical needs, and specify the indications that are considered worth pursuing. This will enable decision makers and functional R&D managers to identify projects with both strategic fit and a high value proposition. Depending on the size of the organisation, either a corporate or therapeutic area strategies need to be developed, approved, and endorsed by the entire organisation.
Value-driven project and portfolio management implies quantitative financial and risk analysis of individual projects and overall portfolios. Such analyses elucidate options for improving the value and risk structure of individual projects on the one hand and therapeutic areas or overall corporate portfolios on the other hand. They are applicable and relevant to companies of any size. Value-driven project and portfolio management is a methodology enabling the alignment of project decisions with corporate strategy and defined business objectives.
Although portfolio management has been applied in the financial industry for many years and Harry Markowitz was honoured with the Nobel Prize for outlining this concept it was only around the end of the last century that the application of value-driven portfolio management in the pharmaceutical industry was published. 4 Around the same time, an investigation across various industries provided evidence that portfolio management based on quantitative fin ...

Data integrity can be implemented using several approaches. One of the most effective ways to implement DI is a risk based approach. The speaker elaborates this.
There are several dimensions in Pharmaceutical ethics -- Practice-, research- and community oriented. This presentation mainly deals with Clinical research oriented Ethics.
Young pharmaceutical scientists are and can get involved in all aspects of new drug discovery and development. They have to be appropriately qualified, trained and experienced though,
This presentation mainly deals with clinical development of biosimilar products. It also gives enough on non-clinical development so that the audience is well oriented.
High variability in PK can be a characteristic of certain drug products which require different from ordinary strategies and study designs for establishing bioequivalence.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

10. PURPOSES OF A GOOD
STRATEGY
Three purposes
Consistency
Coherence
Alignment
1. Consistency
Advantage is not the result of a single decision, but rather the
cumulative outcome of a series of decisions, actions, and
behaviors over time
A good strategy provides a framework for making
consistent decisions over time
Builds cumulatively toward a desired objective
Pisano G (2012) HBS Working Paper 12-095

11. PUPOSES OF A GOOD
STRATEGY..
2. Coherence
In a complex organization, many decisions are to shape
competitive capabilities (which projects get funded, who gets
hired and promoted..)
Decisions are often made in far-flung corners of the
organization and, today, in different parts of the globe
Strategy provides an integrating mechanism to ensure these
tactical decisions are coherent
Organizations sometimes try to compensate for poor
strategy by creating committees and others communication
mechanisms to ensure decisions are integrated
Such devices are a poor and inefficient substitute for good,
clear strategy.
11
12. PUPOSES OF A GOOD
STRATEGY…
3. Alignment
Organizations thrive when their strategies are aligned to
the realities of the environment
Or with the broader organizational context in which they
operate
An R&D organization needs to have a strategy that is
aligned with the broader business strategy of the
organization
A strategy should help driving alignment
12
14. R&D ELEMENTS
Architecture
Centralization vs. Decentralization
Size and focus of units (by market or by technology?
Outsourcing vs. Internal
Better architecture depends organization’s “core
hypotheses” about what it takes to win
For integration centralized model is better
For tapping geographically diverse knowledge bases
decentralized model is the choice
14
15. R&D ELEMENTS..
Processes
Development & decision making process
Governance and Metrics
“Best practice” and highly “structured” R&D processes
with tightly specified procedures, review etc. need to be
examined
May be a more “flexible” process would deliver R&D
goals (highly novel & uncertain) technologies
If R&D must be tightly coordinated with other
functions (like manufacturing), tightly specified process
may be necessary to keep everyone on the same page 15
16. R&D ELEMENTS…
People
Most important aspect of an R&D system
Make impactful choice of resources
Right mix of generalists vs. specialists, technical backgrounds and
training, work styles, career paths, lay off policies
No one best human resource strategy for R&D
Comfortable with churn? May be in a technology hot-spot (e.g.,
Boston or Mumbai)
If the R&D labs are geographically isolated, assurance of job security
to attract & retain talent
Portfolio
Desired resource allocation across different types of R&D projects
Criteria used to sort, prioritize, and select projects (should reflect the
priorities of the R&D strategy
e.g., innovative biotech company wants to win by discovering its own first-
in-class drugs vs. biosimilar developers.
16
17. A FEW BASIC QUESTIONS TO
FORMULATE A GOOD STRATEGY
Have we been absolutely clear about how we intend to win?
Everyone should understand what the priorities are and what
they mean for them
Are the choices we are making about architecture,
processes, people, and portfolio coherent?
Are there any major conflicts between our policies?
Third, do all our choices form an integrated “system” focused
on the key priorities (how we intend to win)?
Finally, because a strategy is a “hypothesis”, we need to
evaluate our R&D strategy against performance data
when the time has come to reject our initial hypothesis &
change strategies, do so 17
18. INNOVATION R&D STRATEGY:
CASE STUDY 1 – GSK
Key strategy: Breaking R&D up into smaller units
In 2000 GSK restructured its R&D focused on therapeutic area units, cancer,
neurology, etc., called Centers of Excellence in Drug Discovery (CEDD)
Each CEDD was responsible for the development of molecules in its designated
therapeutic realm, from discovery through PoC
Early discovery (target identification and molecule discovery) and late stage
development (Phase III trials, registration, etc.) was still centralized
CEDDs had complete autonomy over their own portfolio management
After PoC, the CEDD would present programs to a centralized senior
management from R&D, business units, and corporate headquarters) for a
“go/no-go” decision for full development.
Core Hypothesis (Architectural): Smaller, focused, autonomous,
and more accountable units would make more efficient decisions
regarding portfolio advancement
An attempt to create “biotech-like” organizations inside the larger
corporate framework 18

19. INNOVATION R&D STRATEGY:
CASE STUDY 2 – WYETH
Key strategy: Metrics based centralized approach
Wyeth senior management saw poor R&D productivity rooted in poor
decision-making and misaligned incentives
Solution: standardized development process, metrics and performance
Precise numerical targets (12 new clinical candidates /year), financial
rewards tied to to them, structured development process, specified
milestones and reviews for every program
All projects would follow the same process
Core Hypothesis (Processes): Make R&D process more predictable
by a more “repeatable” process, setting clear performance
objectives, and by clarifying decision-making
Project advancement governed centrally

Based on Harvard Business School Case Study #9-607-008.
20. INNOVATION R&D STRATEGY:
CASE STUDY 3 – NOVARTIS
Key strategy: Science first; decentralized
In 2002, Novartis opened a research laboratory in Cambridge, MA to be
close to a thriving ecosystem of biotechnology Cos & leading academic
institutes
Under the auspices of the Novartis Institutes of Biomedical Research (NIBR),
headquartered in Boston
NIBR, an autonomous organization, reports to Novartis CEO, has 6 sites
Focus areas determined by NIBR are based on two basic criteria: large unmet medical
need and an opportunity to develop deep biological insight
Aalysis of market size and net present value were explicitly rejected as criteria for
project selection at the research phase!
Core Hypothesis (All elemnts): improved scientific
knowledge of the disease & MoA would allow better decision-making about
drug candidates to advance, and this would ultimately reduce attrition
Strategy addressed architecture (separate NIBR), people (locate
where the talent is), process (establish proof of mechanism in well-
defined patient populations first), & portfolio (select projects based
on scientific attributes)

32. CONCLUDING REMARKS
Strategy entails a systematic approach to make an R&D
organization more competitive and effective
Consistent and coherent choices across architecture, processes,
people, and portfolio seem to give a reliable and successful
strategy
Different companies pursued different strategies to essentially
address the same problem
differences were largely rooted in different “core hypotheses” (bets) on the
underlying root cause of non-productivity of R&D
Innovative biotech companies have been enjoying bonanza times
since1990s following good R&D strategies
Biotech biosimilar companies position themselves to enter
biosimilars market by acquiring or developing R&D,
manufacturing, supporting activities, marketing or lobbying ca
Thus capability-benchmarking is the key for any company
planning to generate value from the biologics patent cliff

Architecture refers to the set of decisions around how R&D is structured both
organizationally and geographically. This category includes decisions such as centralization
vs. decentralization of R&D; the size, location, and focus of R&D units (e.g. focus by market?
focus by technology?); whether R&D units report to business units or are autonomous;
whether research is organizationally separated from development; and the degree to which
R&D utilizes external resources and partnerships. There is no single best architecture for an
R&D organization. For instance, a highly centralized R&D organization facilitates
communication and integration across different functional groups; at the same time,
centralization forfeits the benefits of having a geographically diversified “footprint” of R&D
facilities located close to different global technology hotspots. The better approach depends
on the organization’s “core hypotheses” about what it takes to win. If it is betting on
integration, then the centralized model is better. If it thinks tapping geographically diverse
knowledge bases is the key to winning, then the decentralized model is a better route.
Processes are the formal and informal ways that R&D is carried out. This category includes
choices about project management systems, the governance of projects (including the nature of senior management reviews), the sequence and flow of critical project tasks, the timing of
reviews, and the metrics and indicators used to track projects. Too often, certain kinds of
development processes are pitched as “best practice” when, in fact, process design is very
contingent on the overall R&D strategy. Consider the choice between a highly “structured”
R&D process (with tightly specified procedures, review points, etc.) and a more “flexible”
process. Which is better? Again, it depends on broader R&D goals and other choices. An
R&D organization working on highly novel (and highly uncertain) technologies may need
much more process flexibility so that it can have the latitude to explore and iterate. In
contrast, where R&D must be tightly coordinated with other functions (like manufacturing), a
more tightly specified process may be necessary to “keep everyone on the same page.”
People are obviously an enormously important aspect of an R&D system. Despite the
growing use of sophisticated instrumentation, computer simulation, and laboratory
automation, R&D is still a labor intensive process. Thus, choices about human resources--
such as the mix of generalists vs. specialists, technical backgrounds and training, work
styles, career paths, lay off policies, etc.—have a significant impact on R&D performance.
Again, there is no one best human resource strategy for R&D. Take for instance lay-off
policies and career paths. Some companies implicitly promise their R&D workforce that they
will have relatively steady employment and seek to attract people who will tend to stay at the
company. Other companies are comfortable with a degree of “churn.” They do not expect
people to stay along, but neither do they promise much job security. Which approach is
better? That depends on the location of the R&D laboratories (an architectural choice). If one
is located in a technology hot-spot (like say Silicon Valley or Boston), a high “churn” model
may be perfectly reasonable (and, unavoidable). But, if the R&D labs are more
geographically isolated, then it is much more important to promise some degree of job
security to attract talent.
Portfolio refers to the desired resource allocation across different types of R&D projects and
the criteria used to sort, prioritize, and select projects. The R&D portfolio should reflect the
priorities of the R&D strategy. For instance, a pharmaceutical company that “intends to win”
by discovering its own first-in-class drugs should have a very different portfolio allocation than
a company that is trying to win by developing follow-on drugs in already established drug
classes.
