Summary

V.EQT.1513 (Statistical Review of MSA consumer and prediction model methodology) -  Was set up as an initial scoping study to review the MSA Blue Database to create a more user friendly system for running queries. Garth Tarr was contracted as the new MSA Pathways Statistician. The system created has enabled further, more in depth, interrogations of the MSA Blue Database which allows MLA to create structured R&D priorities. 

At the conclusion of this project there was still work which needed to be completed. L.EQT.1619 (Blue Database Integration (Software Development)) has been set up to investigate and build a safe environment to house the MSA Blue Database. This is presumed to be an online software environment which is yet to be determined.
