Biomedical Informatics Section (BIS)

生物医学信息学科： 与NIDA/IRP研究人员互动，开发生物信息学应用程序和数据库，可以访问，管理，传播和分析大量高质量的数据。 协助开发，研究和/或应用计算工具，以协助NIDA/IRP调查人员在生物，医疗行为或健康数据的采集和分析，在确定由NIDA适当的特定时间范围内。 帮助促进新的系统计划和现有系统的更改，以在每个要求指定的特定时间范围内满足立法，法规和部门要求。 对现有项目的自动数据处理资源和技术进行常规系统分析。 根据需要，建议采用有效和及时的新技术。 提供技术和专业支持，以帮助整合计算机系统，设计或获取计算机程序，配置和支持网络，并在NIDA指定的时间范围内简化自动化数据处理。 将科学数据系统与网络服务和安全服务相集成，以促进安全的NIDA/IRP实验室合作，并与校外实体合作，在可能的情况下将科学数据系统相互集成，并确保设计可互操作的数据。 定期向BIS成员和NIDA/IRP的其他成员报告实验结果和结论（以口头或书面形式），并在各种科学会议或期刊上展示我们的研究结果。 自动化NIDA/IRP临床项目的各个方面。这些包括但不限于与研究参与者招募、药房、护士、医生和其他研究者（包括马里兰州精神病学研究中心的研究者）相关的职能。

The Biomedical Informatics Section: Interacts with NIDA/IRP investigators to develop bioinformatics applications and databases that can access, manage, disseminate, and analyze large quantities of high quality data. Assists in developing, researching, and/or applying computational tools to assist NIDA/IRP investigators in the acquisition and analysis of biological, medical behavioral or health data, within a specific time frame determined to be appropriate by the NIDA. Helps facilitate new system initiatives and changes to existing systems to meet legislative, regulatory, and departmental requirements within the specific time frames designated by each requirement. Conducts routine system analysis of automatic data processing resources and techniques of existing projects. Recommends, as needed, the implementation of new technologies that are efficient and timely. Provides technical and professional support to help integrate computer systems, design or acquire computer programs, configure and support networks and streamline automated data processing within the NIDAs specified timeframe. Integrates scientific data systems with network services and security services to foster safe NIDA/IRP laboratory collaboration and for collaboration with extramural entities, when possible integrate scientific data systems with one another and ensure design for interoperable data. Reports experimental findings and conclusions (in oral or written format) routinely to members of the BIS and others at the NIDA/IRP as well as presenting our findings at various scientific conferences or journals. Automates various aspects of clinical program at the NIDA/IRP. These include but are not limited to functions related to research participant recruiting, pharmacy, nurses, physicians, and other investigators including those at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center.
