Biomedical Informatics Core

IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络（INBRE）的生物医学信息学核心将 通过促进一项关于生物医学信息学的研究，增加在现场和场外获得生物医学信息学资源和专门知识的机会， 分布式核心，使培训和使用生物医学信息学在INBRE研究。通过任命一名 具有临床研究经验的生物统计学家作为生物医学信息学核心的负责人，并提供 通过顾问的生物统计支持，我们将提高基础和转化研究的能力， 阿拉斯加大学（UA）的INBRE教师。为了满足UA生物医学信息学的全方位需求， 特别是那些超出我们目前能力的需求，我们将为合同提供资金， 与专业领域的生物医学信息专家和程序员一起提供服务。我们会瞄准西区 INBRE生物医学信息学网站，用于合作订约承办事务和交流专门知识。作为 作为这些合同服务的一部分，我们将利用我们与INBRE的地位和联系， 承包商为我们的团队提供介绍，并与我们的研究人员谈论他们的服务 提供，以及工作完成后的后续磋商。生物医学信息学核心 还将为利用生物医学信息学的项目提供培训机会和试点奖励资金 技术.学员，博士后，工作人员和教职员工将被邀请参加正式的生物医学 信息学讲习班，并访问具有专门知识的其他机构/合作者。芯会 在UA费尔班克斯校园提供为期2周的校内生物医学信息学研讨会。此外，我们计划 每年举行多个试点奖的竞赛，使研究人员能够启动需要 先进的生物医学信息学资源，如下一代测序技术和/或 蛋白质组学或代谢组学分析。招聘一名具有临床经验的生物统计学家担任 核心，并通过顾问提供生物统计支持，将提高转化研究能力， 生物信息学通过实现这些目标，我们将加强与其他西方国家的合作。 国家以及建立生物信息学和增强在UA的转化研究能力。

The Biomedical Informatics Core in IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE)3 will increase access to biomedical informatics resources and expertise both on- and off-site by facilitating a distributed core to enable training and the use of biomedical informatics in INBRE research. By appointing a biostatistician with clinical research experience as Lead ofthe Biomedical Informatics core, and by providing biostatistical support via consultants, we will increase the basic and translational research capacity ofthe INBRE faculty at University of Alaska (UA). To meet the full range of biomedical informatics needs at UA, particularly those needs that go beyond our current capacity, we will make funding available for contractual services with expert biomedical informatcians and programmers in specialized fields. We will target western INBRE biomedical informatics sites for collaborative contractual services and exchange of expertise. As a part of these contractual services, we will leverage our position and association with INBRE, to require contractors to provide our group with introductions and talk to our researchers about the services they are providing, as well as follow-up consultations after the work has been done. The Biomedical Informatics core will also provide training opportunities and pilot award funding for project utilizing biomedical informatics technologies. Trainees, post-docs, staff and faculty members will be invited to attend formal biomedical informatics workshops, and to visit other institutions/collaborators with specialized expertise. The Core will offer 2 week intramural biomedical informatics workshops on the UA Fairbanks campus. Further, we plan yearly competitions for multiple pilot awards that will enable researcher to initiate projects that require advanced biomedical informatics resources, such as next generation sequencing technology and/or proteomics or metabolomics profiling. Recruiting a biostatistician with clinical experience as director ofthe core, and providing biostatistical support via consultants, will increase the translational research capacity of bioinformatics at UA. By accomplishing these goals, we will enhance collaboration with other western IDeA states as well as build bioinformatics and enhace translational research capacity at UA.
