ACTIVITY #4 - COLLABORATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INITIATIVE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 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，因为许多研究问题很复杂，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，以支持医学园区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。 本活动的具体目标是： 1.协助教师和研究生使用校园内的远程协作技术资源，包括基于硬件和软件的一对一或组对组互动解决方案 2.加强校园的网络服务，如名单服务器、网络广播服务和研究设施的网站，以传播和分享与研究有关的信息 3.改善校园网络性能和安全，从而加强支持合作研究的网络基础设施。 4.协助开发、使用和维护符合HIPAA的与研究有关的数据库和软件工具。 这项活动将为医学校园教员与波多黎各国内外其他机构的教员合作开发的协作项目提供技术支持。它还将通过促进与美国和世界各地机构的教职员工的直接互动，使研究生和年轻研究人员受益。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. 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 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.
