This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The main goal of the Center for Information Architecture in Research (CIAR) was to enhance collaboration between researchers at the University of Puerto Rico-Medical Sciences Campus and researchers in other institutions within and outide Puerto Rico through the application of computing and telecommunications technologies. This initiative built on resources established by the RCMI Research Informatics Unit during the 1996-2001 funding cycle, thus providing further development of institutional research support infrasctructure. Based on the experience gained during the previous four years, four specific aims were identified: 1) To facilitate access and stimulate the use of high performance computing and biotechnology research resources available through the Internet; 2) To create or enhance web sites, news groups or list servers for interdisciplinary research initiatives at the MSC that collaborate actively with investigators at te regional, national or international level; 3) to create portals to research resources available at the MSC or online through the Web, and 4) To update the telecommunications infrastructure in some areas of the MSC. These aims were meant to be accomplished by: a) Providing salary for 2.0 full-time equivalent technical support personnel, b) Providing salary for one Research Associate that would apply computer technologies to address specific biomedical research problems, c) Acquiring the software necessary to enable collaborative activities and to exploit the Internet as a medium for disseminating research findings, d) Acquiring telecommunications/computer hardware necessary to substitute older equipment, and e) Hiring experienced consultants that would assist in the development of current and future web resources. In order to maximize the impact of this activity, this project initially focused mainly on research initiatives, programs, projects or teams at the MSC with active collaborations outside of Puerto Rico. We identified the following: the RCMI Program, the RCMI Clinical Research Infrastructure Initiative, the Latino Research Program Project, the Minority Biomedical Research Program, and the Behavioral Sciences Research Institute. We hoped that facilitating collaborations through this activity would strengthen research initiatives developed to reduce health disparities in the nation.

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。信息建设研究中心的主要目标是加强波多黎各大学医学院校区的研究人员与波多黎各境内其他机构的研究人员之间的合作，并通过应用计算机和电信技术超越波多黎各。这一倡议建立在RCMI研究信息学股在1996-2001年供资周期期间建立的资源基础上，从而进一步发展了机构研究支助基础结构。根据过去四年的经验，确定了四个具体目标：1)便利和鼓励利用通过因特网获得的高性能计算和生物技术研究资源；2)为海安局的跨学科研究活动创建或改进网站、新闻小组或名单服务器，与区域、国家或国际一级的调查人员积极合作；3)创建门户网站，以便获取海安局现有的或通过万维网的在线研究资源；以及4)更新海安局某些地区的电信基础设施。这些目标的实现方式是：a)为2.0名相当于全职的技术支助人员提供薪金；b)为1名将应用计算机技术解决具体生物医学研究问题的研究协理人员提供薪金；c)获得开展协作活动和利用因特网作为传播研究成果的媒介所需的软件；d)购置必要的电信/计算机硬件，以替代旧设备；e)雇用经验丰富的咨询人，协助开发现有和未来的网络资源。为了最大限度地发挥这一活动的影响，该项目最初主要集中在MSC的研究倡议、计划、项目或团队，并与波多黎各以外的国家积极合作。我们确定了以下项目：RCMI计划、RCMI临床研究基础设施倡议、拉丁裔研究计划项目、少数民族生物医学研究计划和行为科学研究所。我们希望通过这项活动促进合作，将加强为减少全国健康差距而开发的研究倡议。
