科学计算服务办公室（OSCS）提供先进的生物医学计算和临床信息学的科学和技术专业知识，以支持NIH校内研究计划;支持，维护和提供访问高级超级计算平台，供NIH生物医学研究社区使用;与NIH研究所和中心合作，支持使用数学和计算机科学方法来推进医学领域的生物和生物医学研究工作。信息学，数据可视化，自然语言处理，数据挖掘，生物和医学数据库集成及相关领域;并开发新的计算方法和集中式数据库解决方案，以解决和推进新兴的生物医学研究计划和挑战。OSCS由三个功能组组成： (1)云计算服务组管理NIH的云计算基础设施，并为NIH研究计划提供相关的技术和科学支持;支持NIH范围内的数据科学战略规划计划，并实施NIH资助的生物医学数据科学生态系统现代化计划;美国国立卫生研究院科学和技术研究基础设施的发现，实验，和可持续性（ESDES）倡议，通过该平台，NIH和NIH资助的研究人员可以访问基于云的技术和来自CNODES合作伙伴的相关服务，以应用于他们的研究;并为NIH的研究人员，数据所有者和研究支持人员提供培训和其他服务，以确保最佳使用可用的工具和技术。 (2)科学应用服务组开发全面和可扩展的高级算法和数据可视化应用程序;实施已知的解决方案，算法或方法，以快速有效地满足NIH内部合作者的生物医学成像和信息学需求;应用或开发新的系统，应用程序，算法，模型和机器学习技术，以有效地提供可信的数据分析;并与NIH内部研究人员合作，支持跨研究，临床和运营实体的生物医学信息学和数据科学服务，以缩短从数据到洞察力的路径。 (3)高性能计算服务组计划，管理，支持和操作NIH的核心企业范围内，高性能计算环境，以支持NIH内部研究;开发和支持生物医学和生命科学应用程序，相关的生物医学数据库，编程语言和工具;为NIH内部工作人员提供有关NIH高性能计算资源和科学应用的培训和技术专业知识;并研究高性能计算、生命科学应用、生物医学数据库以及高性能存储和网络存档方面的新技术发展，供NIH使用。

The Office of Scientific Computing Services (OSCS) provides scientific and technical expertise in advanced biomedical computing and clinical informatics in support of the NIH Intramural Research Program; supports, maintains, and provides access to advanced supercomputing platforms for use by the NIH biomedical research community; works with NIH Institutes and Centers to support the use of mathematical and computer science approaches to advance biological and biomedical research efforts in medical informatics, data visualization, natural language processing, data mining, biological and medical database integration, and related areas; and develops novel computational methodologies and centralized database solutions to address and advance emerging biomedical research initiatives and challenges. OSCS is comprised of three functional groups: (1) The Cloud Computing Services group manages NIHs cloud computing infrastructure and provides associated technical and scientific support for NIH research programs; supports NIH-wide data science strategic planning initiatives and implements plans for modernizing the NIH-funded biomedical data science ecosystem; operates the NIH Science and Technology Research Infrastructure for Discovery, Experimentation, and Sustainability (STRIDES) Initiative, through which NIH and NIH-funded researchers can access cloud-based technologies and related services from STRIDES partners to apply to their research; and provides training and other services to researchers, data owners, and research support staff across NIH to ensure optimal use of available tools and technologies. (2) The Scientific Application Services group develops advanced algorithms and data visualization applications that are comprehensive and extensible; implements known solutions, algorithms, or methods to quickly and efficiently meet the biomedical imaging and informatics needs of NIH intramural collaborators; applies or develops novel systems, applications, algorithms, models, and machine learning techniques to efficiently deliver trusted data analysis; and collaborates with NIH intramural researchers to support biomedical informatics and data science services across research, clinical, and operational entities to shorten the path from data to insight. (3) The High Performance Computing Services group plans, manages, supports, and operates NIH's core enterprise-wide, high-performance computational environment in support of NIH intramural research; develops and supports biomedical and life science application programs, associated biomedical databases, programming languages, and tools; provides training and technical expertise for NIH intramural staff relating to NIH high-performance computational resources and scientific applications; and researches new technology developments in high-performance computing, life science applications, biomedical databases, and high-performance storage and network archiving for use by NIH.
