Core 5 - Dissemination

核心5：传播 NA-MIC传播核心（Pis Tina Kapur，BWH和Steve Pieper，Isomics，Inc） 与服务和培训中心合作。它的主要重点是促进他人使用免费和开源（FOSS）NA-MIC套件学习，教学和进行生物医学和行为研究，并应用NA-MIC研究人员开发的方法和新技术。鉴于NA-MIC研究的复杂性和专业性，我们认识到，为了真正促进外部研究人员采用我们的技术，我们必须在多个层面提供足够的技术支持。为了补充培训核心的教学方法，以促进主题专业知识，传播核心的目标是建立一个广泛的生物医学研究人员社区，他们可以使用NA-MIC技术作为关键组成部分 医学图像分析职业生涯的最后一年。我们通过各种方式支持这个社区：（1） 保持广泛的网络存在，包括容易获得NA-MIC出版物，软件和数据，（2）组织我们的“旗舰”。项目周的工作活动，（3）通过每天积极使用我们的公共wiki来组织和记录我们的进展，培养一个“开放的组织”，（4）组织关于及时主题的“羽毛之鸟”会议，以及（5）与可以使用或加强NA-MIC套件的外部研究人员建立密切的双向合作。这些努力积极地维持了志同道合的研究人员的交流，他们的工作大大扩大了NA-MIC活动的范围。随着NA-MIC的整体定位从第一个资金周期的医学图像分析技术提供商转变为综合生物医学技术提供商， 在更新期间，我们重新组织了传播核心的工作，以匹配相应的研究解决方案。接下来，我们将描述传播核心的三个重点领域，然后是每个领域的详细实施计划。

CORE 5: DISSEMINATION The NA-MIC Dissemination Core (Pis Tina Kapur, BWH & Steve Pieper, Isomics, Inc) works in close collaboration with the Service and Training Cores. Its principal focus is to facilitate others to learn, teach, and perform biomedical and behavioral research using the free and open source (FOSS) NA-MIC Kit, and to apply the methodologies and novel techniques developed by NA-MIC investigators. Given the complex and specialized nature of the research in NA-MIC, we recognize that to truly facilitate the adoption of our technology by external researchers, we must provide adequate technical support at multiple levels. To complement the work of the Training Core's pedagogical approach to advancing subject matter expertise, the Dissemination Core's goal is to build a broad community of biomedical researchers who can use NA-MIC technology as a key component of their medical image analysis careers. We support this community through a variefy of means: (1) maintaining an extensive web-presence that includes easy access to NA-MIC publications, software, and data, (2) organizing our "fiagship". Project Week working events, (3) nurturing an "open organization" through active daily use of our public wiki to organize and document our progress, (4) organizing "birds of a feather" meetings on timely topics, and (5) developing close bi-directional collaborations with external researchers who can either use or strengthen the NA-MIC Kit. These efforts actively sustain a communify of like-minded researchers whose work amplifies the scope of NA-MIC activities substantially. As the overall identify of NA-MIC transitions from a provider of medical image analysis technologies in the first funding cycle, to a provider of integrated biomedical research solutions in the renewal period, we have re-organized the effort ofthe Dissemination Core to match accordingly. Next we describe three focus areas of the Dissemination Core, followed by detailed implementation plans for each one.
