ACTIVITY #4 - COLLABORATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INITIATIVE

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 NIH路线图以及NCRR战略计划明确阐述了促进机构间研究合作的承诺。这是必要的，因为许多研究问题的复杂性，需要回答，以促进公众的健康。 RCMI协作技术活动的目标是提供必要的基础设施和工作人员，以支持医学科学校园的研究人员与美国和世界各地主要研究中心的同事之间的协作研究活动。 这项活动的具体目标是： 1. 帮助教师和研究生在校园使用远程协作技术资源，包括基于硬件和软件的解决方案，用于一对一或组对组的交互 2. 加强校园内的网上服务，例如名单服务器、网上广播服务及研究设施网站，以发放和分享研究信息 3. 提高园区的网络性能和安全性，从而增强支持协作研究的网络基础设施。 4. 协助开发、使用和维护符合《健康保险责任法案》的研究相关数据库和软件工具。 这项活动将提供技术支持，以合作项目开发的医学科学校园教师与教师在其他地点和波多黎各以外的机构。它还将通过促进与美国和世界各地机构的教师的直接互动，使研究生和年轻的研究人员受益。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The NIH Roadmap, as well as the NCRR Strategic Plan, clearly articulates a commitment to foster research collaborations among institutions. This is necessary due to the complexity of many research questions that need to be answered in order to advance the health of the public. The goal of the RCMI Collaborative Technologies Activity is to provide the necessary infrastructure and staff to support collaborative research activities between investigators at the Medical Sciences Campus and colleagues in major research centers in the United States and around the world. The specific aims of this activity are: 1. To assist faculty and graduate students in the use of remote collaborative technology resources at the Campus, including hardware- and software-based solutions for one-to-one or group-to group interactions 2. To enhance web-based services at the Campus, such as list servers, webcast services, and websites of research-related facilities in order to disseminate and share research-related information 3. To improve network performance and security at the Campus, thus enhancing the cyberinfrastruture supporting collaborative research. 4. To provide assistance in the development, use and maintenance of HIPAA-compliant, research-related databases and software tools. This activity will provide technology support to collaborative projects developed by Medical Sciences Campus faculty in collaboration with faculty at institutions at other locations in and outside Puerto Rico. It will also benefit graduate students and young investigators by facilitating direct interactions with faculty from institutions in the United States and around the world.
