I am currently Co-PI for one H2020 project in DCU Business School. This is Geronte (€5.9m) , being delivered with the School of Nursing where the co – PI is Prof. Anthony Staines. I am exploitation manager for this five year project as well as a member of the steering group. GERONTE is a streamlined geriatric and oncological evaluation based on Information Communication (IC) technology for holistic patient-oriented healthcare management for older multimorbid patients.
I have been Co – PI on 3 H2020 projects over the past 10 years. The first PATHWAY focused on technology-enabled behavioral change as a pathway towards better self-management of Cardiovascular Disease. The project involves 9 partners: 5 universities, 3 SMEs and 1 hospital. DCU was the coordinator of the project and the amount awarded was €5m.The second project, INLIFE was awarded €3.38m and involves 20 partners from 9 EU countries. This project aimed to prolong and support independent living for elderly persons with cognitive impairments, through interoperable and personalized ICT services that support home activities, communication, health maintenance, travel, mobility and socialization. The third was MIDAS. MIDAS (Meaningful Integration of Data, Analytics and Services) was an EU funded project, looking at solving some of the issues involved in managing big data for ‘health in all policies’. This was for €4.9m euros. In all projects I have been involved in the steering groups and the building of commercial proposals from the research.
Because of my national and international profile as an expert in Public Procurement I have been asked to participate in a number of research collaborations. I was lead PI for DCUBS on a project from INTEREG to the value of €3.7 million euros in the area of public procurement. I recruited 4 research assistants and an administrator to work on this project for 41 months. I was lead -PI for the MAGIC project which was focused on transforming the delivery of health and social care services for patients who have experienced a stroke ( this was a €3.63 m funded project.)
The HSE seconded me for 40% of my time for 18 months at the request of the CEO Tony O’Brien and the Minister of health to develop the ICT Strategy for the National Health Services. I completed the planning phase of a €1.6 billion spend in ICT for a National Healthcare Platform.
I was Chair of the 6th International Public Procurement Conference, which was held in DCU in August 2014 (www.ippc6.com). This attracted over 260 delegates from over 60 countries.
Throughout my work in DCU I have sought to develop links between academia and industry and to provide translational research, which could be developed into policy. I am consistently producing high impact research that is influencing Policy.
I have 2 full time doctoral students working for me and 2 part-time PhD students. I have a total of 8 students graduated with doctorates and a further 2 students graduated with Masters in research. Of the doctoral students that have completed , are completing or are continuing with their studies, 3 are from Schools of Engineering, 2 are from School of Nursing, 1 from the School of Biotechnology, the other 7 are from the School of Business.
I have been Head of the Management Group (School equivalent) within the School of Business from 2015 to 2018, whereby I served on the Management Board of the Faculty, had a staff of 30 to manage workload and administration for, including performance management. I been actively involved in the recruitment of staff at all levels across both academic and administrative posts. I have completed the University Leadership Management Program and am currently starting on an application for Senior HE fellowship.
