IGF::OT::IGF Enhanced Research Network Informatics Exploration (ERNIE) (Period of Performance: September 15, 2017 - March 14, 2018). N43DA-17-1216. BASE AWARD

完整标题：分析工具和方法（多维）学术研究评估和决策支持在生物医学企业。该项目的长期目标是创建一个知识平台，满足资助组织的需求，以证明其研究计划对利益相关者的价值。该平台将（i）允许定量描述和分析药物，设备和诊断学开发基础合作网络进行的研究;（ii）促进此类研究的社会价值与监督机构和政策制定者的战略沟通;以及（iii）为大型和小型研究组合的管理人员提供分析工具。因此，我们将建立在我们以前的经验，建立增强的研究网络信息学探索（ERNIE）平台。ERNIE将包含多个维度的链接数据以及访问和分析它们的严格方法。我们将对选定的药物，设备和诊断进行案例研究，并对其进行基准测试。我们将特别强调NIH资助的作用，因为我们确定在这些案例研究中有影响力的事件。第一阶段的交付成果是一个便于使用的知识平台，用于战略沟通和组合分析、一个案例研究图书馆和一份进展评估。

Complete Title: Analytical Tools and Approaches for (Multidimensional) Scholarly Research Assessmentand Decision Support in the Biomedical Enterprise. The long term goal of this project is to create a knowledge platform that addresses the need of funding organizations to justify the value of their research programs to stakeholders. This platform will (i) allow for quantitative descriptions and analysis of the research conducted by the collaboration network underlying the development of drugs, devices, and diagnost.ics;(ii) facilitate strategic communication of the societal value of such research to oversight bodies and policy makers; and (iii) provide analytical tools to managers of large and small research portfolios. Thus, we will build upon our prior experience to establish the Enhanced Research Network Informatics Exploration (ERNIE) platform. ERNIE will contain linked data in multiple dimensions as well as rigorous methods to access and analyze them. We will conduct case studies on selected drugs, devices, and diagnostics and benchmark them. We will particularly highlight the role of NIH funding as we identify influential events in these case studies. Phase I deliverables are an accessible knowledge platform for strategic communications and portfolio analysis, a library of case studies, and an evaluation of progress made.
