National Alliance-Medical Imaging Computing (NAMIC)(RMI)

U54 EB005149-05S3 这是对5U54EB005149(国家医学图像计算联盟)的为期1年的行政补充的申请，以回应NOT-OD-09-056。该项目的目标是加强支持基础科学的开源NA-MIC工具包的组成部分。如果获得资金，该项目将为马萨诸塞州的一名工程师保留1.0FTE的职位。额外的就业机会也将通过管理费用的支出得到保留。 NA-MIC软件工具的开源性质及其多层次的可扩展性，再加上协调一致的推广和培训努力，鼓励外部研究人员将NA-MIC技术用于各种新的生物医学研究课题。在最初提交时，许多此类用途是没有预料到或没有设想到的。根据我们的经验，我们确定了一个需要技术改进的关键领域，这将有利于国家海洋信息中心的核心活动以及该技术的这些更新颖的用途。 这项提议将加强NA-MIC工具包为基础科学研究提供的服务如下： 1)通过增加质量保证(QA)工程来提高Slicer 3的稳定性和质量，以跟上更快的发展。 2)通过扩大我们的辅导和培训材料，改进我们的外展和教育工作。

– 5 U54 EB005149-05S3 This is an application for a 1-year, administrative supplement to 5U54EB005149 (National Alliance for Medical Image Computing), in response to NOT-OD-09-056. The goal of this project is to strenghten the components of the open-source NA-MIC kit for supporting basic science. If funded, the project will result in the retention of 1.0 FTE position for an engineer in Massachusetts. Additional jobs will also be preserved through expenditures from overhead. The open-source nature of NA-MIC software tools and their multi-level expandability, combined with concerted outreach and training efforts, have encouraged external researchers to use NA-MIC technology for a variety of new biomedical research topics. Many such uses were not expected or envisioned at the time of the original submission. Based on our experience, we have identified one key area that requires technological improvements that will benefit both the core activities of NA-MIC as well as these more novel uses of the technology. This proposal will strengthen the offerings provided by the NA-MIC Kit for basic science research as follows: 1) Improve the stability and quality of Slicer 3 by increasing Quality Assurance (QA) engineering to keep up with increased development. 2) Improve our outreach and education efforts through expansion of our tutorial and training materials.
