NETWORK ENHANCEMENT SUPPLEMENT

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。生物医学已经进入了信息学时代，产生了大量的数据集，在研究地点之间移动，并使用宽带和强大的计算策略进行分析。为了让Meharry与美国其他地区一起参与这些新的科学努力，它需要与合作的基础设施连接起来。梅哈里医学院要求补充RCMI补助金5-G12-RR03032-21，用于加强连通性，以便与RCMI转化研究网络和其他国家和国际研究网络一起开展高带宽科学应用。。具体目标是：1)临床和研究数据库升级2)视频会议能力增加3)互联网和网络性能升级4)改进生物信息学核心的计算机硬件和软件。这些改进将使Meharry有能力参与国家和国际联网研究计划。如果要让所有人都能获得这一新研究范式的好处，像Meharry研究人员那样关注健康差距和少数群体和其他服务不足人群的健康需求的研究人员的参与是至关重要的。

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. Biomedical science has entered the era of informatics with massive data sets being generated, moved between research sites, and analyzed using wide bandwidth and powerful computing strategies. In order for Meharry to participate with the rest of the nation in these new scientific endeavors it needs to be connected, with the infrastructure to collaborate. Meharry Medical College requested a supplement to RCMI grant 5-G12-RR03032-21 for enhancement of connectivity to carry out high-bandwidth science applications in conjunction with the RCMI Translational Research Network and other national and international research networks. . The Specific Aims were: 1) Clinical and Research Database upgrade 2) Videoconferencing capacity increase 3) Internet and Network Performance upgrade 4) Improved computer hardware and software in the bioinformatics cores. These improvements will result in Meharry having the capacity to participate in national and international networked research programs. The participation of researchers who are focusing on health disparities and the health needs of minority and other underserved populations, as Meharry researchers do, is essential if the benefits of this new research paradigm are to be accessible to all.
