CORE--COMPUTER AND INFORMATICS FACILITY

计算机和信息学资源中心（CIRC）为 癌症中心研究人员的计算需求。今天，临床数据 和基础科学研究被收集、管理和分析 电子方式然后使用各种软件报告结果 工具;最后出版物通常可在网上查阅。这些信息 基础设施对癌症研究的成功至关重要。支持这一 在基础设施方面，中国保监会的工作人员提供计算机系统和 和信息学。他们维护操作系统，应用软件， 和互联网连接，开发和管理数据库和网络服务， 并为最终用户提供参考资料和教育。重点 在上一个融资期内， 从一个计算驱动的设施到一个基于互联网的信息中心。

The Computer and Informatics Resource Center (CIRC) serves the computational needs of Cancer Center researchers. Today, data for clinical and basic science studies are collected, managed and analyzed electronically. Results are then reported using a variety of software tools; the final publication is often available on-line. This information infrastructure is vital to the success of cancer research. To support this infrastructure, the CIRC staff provides expertise in both computer system and informatics. They maintain operating systems, application software, and Internet connectivity, develop and manage databases and Web services, and provide reference materials and education to end users. The emphasis of the CIRC has dramatically shifted during the last funding period from a computation-driven facility to an Internet-based informatics center.
