DATA MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATICS CORE

数据管理和信息学核心（DMIC）的主要目标是：1）提供数据管理 和医学信息学服务的所有研究支持耶鲁胡椒中心和2）利用和 推广信息技术，以设计创新、高效和通用的数据系统， 胡椒中心和耶鲁内外的其他工作组使用。DMIC将采取行动消除障碍 研究多因素老年健康状况。DMIC将提供的主要服务包括 电子和纸质问卷设计;受试者跟踪;研究进展监测;数据录入;数据 质量控制;准备和记录数据集用于分析;统计方案编制;数据库 数据管理和信息学方面的工作人员和初级教员培训 方法论。DMIC将直接支持7项Pepper研究，并将间接支持14项研究。 多因素老年健康状况的非Pepper研究。间接支助将包括 基础设施、培训、监督和管理。 为了有效和高效地利用新兴技术和做法，灾害管理信息中心将继续 耶鲁大学医学信息中心（Yale Center for Medical Informatics，YCMI）其他合作中心包括 退伍军人管理局合作研究计划协调中心（CSPCC），加州大学洛杉矶分校胡椒 中心研究运营核心（ROC）和耶鲁大学基因组学和蛋白质组学中心。 DMIC为更大的耶鲁老龄化项目提供行政和基础设施管理 (POA)数据管理由DMIC管理的POA资源包括10个数据管理器 和程序员拥有超过120年的研究积累经验;文件服务器，网络 主机和数据库服务器;广泛的数据管理和统计软件库;通用 用于受试者跟踪、访谈者表现监控和研究分析的数据库系统; 和一个老年数据收集仪器库。 DMIC将在很大程度上依靠以前开发的系统和程序来最大限度地提高效率。 Pepper资金周期这些系统经过全面测试，并为所有POA数据管理员所熟悉。一 最近对POA计算环境的技术升级确保了现有的基础设施将 足够的时间用于研究。

The broad aims of the Data Management and Informatics Core (DMIC) are to 1) provide data management and medical informatics services to all studies supported by the Yale Pepper Center and 2) exploit and extend information technologies in order to devise innovative, efficient and generalizeable data systems for use by Pepper Centers and other workgroups within and outside Yale. The DMIC will act to remove barriers to research into multifactorial geriatric health conditions. Key services that DMIC will provide include electronic and paper questionnaire design; participant tracking; study progress monitoring; data entry; data quality control; preparation and documentation of datasets for analysis; statistical programming; database application programming; and staff and junior faculty training in data management and informatics methodologies. The DMIC will directly support seven Pepper studies, and will indirectly support fourteen non-Pepper research studies of multifactorial geriatric health conditions. Indirect support will consist of infrastructure, training, supervision and administration. In order to make effective and efficient use of emerging technologies and practices, the DMIC will continue its collaboration with the Yale Center for Medical Informatics (YCMI). Other collaborating centers include the Veterans Administration Cooperative Studies Program Coordinating Center (CSPCC), the UCLA Pepper Center Research Operations Core (ROC), and the Yale Center for Genomics and Proteomics. The DMIC provides the administration and infrastructure management for the larger Yale Program on Aging (POA) data management workgroup. POA resources that are managed by DMIC include ten data managers and programmers having more than 120 years cumulative experience in research studies; file servers, web hosts and database servers; an extensive data management and statistical software library; a common database system for subject tracking, interviewer performance monitoring, and conduct-of-study analysis; and a library of geriatric data collection instruments. The DMIC will maximize efficiency by relying heavily on systems and procedures developed during prior . Pepper funding cycles. These systems are thoroughly tested and familiar to all POA data managers. A recent technology upgrade to the POA computing environment ensures that the existing infrastructure will be sufficient for the proposed study period.
