PROJECT 10. Cancer Reserch SRF

马基癌症研究中心(MCC)癌症研究信息学(CRI)共享资源基金通过优化应用信息学技术和方法，最大限度地提高癌症研究数据、信息和知识的可及性和可用性，促进MCC成员之间的合作研究。CRI的主要目标是为癌症中心成员提供全面和集中的数据获取和信息学支持。 CRI的具体目标是： 1.为资助研究开发和支持创新技术，以促进 准确、及时、安全地获取和传播数据。 2.维护和支持全面的以患者为中心的数据仓库，提供独特的 MCC调查人员有机会利用从遗传生物标记物到基于人口的监测数据等不同来源的综合数据集。 3.促进快速有效地招募患者参加研究人员发起的试验和其他 研究性研究。 4.为研究人员获取数据、生物制品和来自肯塔基州阿巴拉契亚地区的患者提供便利。 5.按照不断变化的数据标准，确保信息学系统的互操作性。 6.与肯塔基大学(英国)生物医学信息学分部合作，提供新颖和最先进的信息学解决方案，以提高来自不同数据源的信息和知识的效率和准确性。

The Markey Cancer Center (MCC) Cancer Research Informatics (CRI) Shared Resource Facility facilitates collaborative research among members of the MCC through the optimal application of informatics technologies and methods that maximize the accessibility and usability of data, information, and knowledge for cancer research. The primary goal of CRI is to provide comprehensive and centralized data acquisition and informatics support that is readily available to cancer center members. The Specific Aims of the CRI are to: 1. Develop and support innovative technologies for funded research studies that facilitate accurate, timely, and secure data acquisition and dissemination. 2. Maintain and support a comprehensive patient-centered data warehouse offering unique opportunities for MCC investigators to utilize integrated data sets from diverse sources ranging from genetic biomarkers to population-based surveillance data. 3. Facilitate rapid and efficient recruitment of patients to investigator-initiated trials and other research studies. 4. Facilitate investigator access to data, biospecimens, and patients from Kentucky's Appalachian population. 5. Ensure the interoperability of informatics systems in compliance with evolving data standards. 6. Collaborate with the University of Kentucky (UK) Division of Biomedical Informatics to provide novel and state-of-the-art informatics solutions that increase the efficiency and accuracy of information and knowledge derived from diverse data sources.
