The document outlines an agenda for an animal health focus group meeting. The agenda includes discussions on contracting opportunities at ULAR and the vet hospitals, the equipment maintenance program, Novation group purchasing, an E&I cooperative RFP team, and the IASTA RFP tool. It also discusses potential cost savings areas like equipment maintenance, lab coats, medical supplies, and feed/bedding. The focus is on identifying areas for cost reductions, streamlining operations, and greater efficiencies across the animal health facilities.

SR&ED funds can go direct to Investigators and does not interfere with other fund sources or have ethics issues.
We have crafted strategies to maximize the dollars realized,minimize the effort of assembling claims and avoid unnecessary CRA headaches. Clients care about their after-tax position, as well as cash flow, retirement needs and estate planning. Annual SR&ED rebates can be significant, but need to harmonize with other strategies to give the greatest benefit. Goulet Associates strives to supply one piece of the larger puzzle.

Propose a
Solution
to an Issue/Problem
Throughout the span of time, humankind has had to continually seek out solutions to issues at hand. For example, the telephone was invented to facilitate a streamlined method of communication across vast distances. The microwave was brought forth as a tool for quickly heating up meals, etc.
Our species has always had to adapt solutions to issues as they arise. From serious issues to lighter ones, we as a people have managed to move forward through ingenious invention and collaboration.
This assignment is an opportunity for you to put your own foot forward by offering your own solutionto an issue/problem.
*What makes this project ‘research’ is the fact that you are required to draw from a minimum of 4 secondary sources to introduce your explored issue and support your proposed solution.
So, for example, if I was arguing for the importance of switching over to an electric car, I would draw from my secondary sources to frame the environmental harm caused by fossil fuels. I would use my research to explain how oil is the most consumed form of fossil fuel for energy conversion. I would then move to forward the fact that our planet has a limited fossil fuel reserve.
Thanks to my front-loading the reader with the context behind my chosen issue, I would then draw from my research to support my argument for switching over to an electric car.
Things to Consider
-What is the issue/problem that you are moving to solve?
-Why is it an issue?
-Who does it affect?
-What is the big deal? (so what?)
-What is at stake?
-What is your proposed solution?
-Why will your solution work?
-Why is your solution better than others?
-What might those opposing your solution say against it?
-How would you defend your solution?
-What are the costs of your solution? (what does it take to enact your solution?)
-Do your solution’s pros outweigh any cons that it may involve?
-How would your proposed solution make the world a better place?
-Anything else?
