| Medha Devare | mhd6atcornelldotedu | 607 255 2199 | Cornell University | Both | NY | We are seeking eligible institutional partners that meet the diversity requirements of this RFA; in particular, we seek institutions that are urban or suburban, in the north or south western US, and racially and/or ethnically diverse. Institutions with clearly identified or mapped data landscapes, and those with existing collaborative links between medical and life sciences research entities, information technology units, and information management entities are especially attractive. | Having developed VIVO (vivo.cornell.edu), a semantic web-based tool for the discovery of researchers and resources across Cornell, we can offer a flexible technology that is extensible to partners and already in use beyond Cornell, to enable research and resource discovery across institutions. VIVO integrates information from Cornell data sources, and can also be easily modified by untrained users. Content is easily queried and made available for dissemination and consumption by other web sites. |
| Elmer Bernstam | ElmerdotVdotBernstamatuthdottmcdotedu | 713 500 3901 | UT_Houston | Both | TX | Looking to join (or even co-lead) an effort. | We can contribute expertise in human factors and information retrieval, both of which are relevant to this area. |
| Robert M. Judd, Ph.D. | robertdotjuddatdukedotedu | 919-668-3539 (prefer email) | Duke University | Networking | NC | We are seeking research groups with an existing infrastructure for multi-center sharing of textual information related to medical imaging procedures such as (de-identified) clinical reports, case report forms, patient follow-up, and billing information. Goals include studies of imaging efficacy, appropriateness, redundancy, or overutilization. | We have developed a web-browser-based infrastructure for multi-center sharing of DICOM-formatted medical image pixel data, related in part to an existing nearly complete 5-year NIH grant. Research tools available in a bare bones web browser include uploading, anonymizing, viewing, sharing, and workstation-like analysis tools. Publicly-available examples of the underlying technology can be found at https://www.webpax.com. |
| John Collins | collinsdotmsiatgmaildotcom | 562 801 2088 -231 | Maxwell Sensors Inc | Both | CA | We are looking for taking our platform of single cell diagnostics to different applications in cancer diagnostics, dignosis of various diseases, stem cell diagnosis. | We have experienced in single Cell PCR in a high throughput fashion using microfluidics and digital droplet technology. We are also established fluorescence based detection and impedance based detection in microfluidics. |
| Yubo Sun | yubodotsunatcarolinasdotorg | 704-355-5656 | Carolinas Medical Center | Both | NC | I am looking for partners interested in system biology analysis of GWAS data, micro-RNA data drug study data, and microarray data of joint tissues including articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovium and menisci or cells to determin the disease mechanisms of osteoarthritis. | We have unique gene expression data bases including: 1) gene expression between OA meniscal cells and normal control meniscal cells, 2)gene expression between OA meniscus and OA meniscus treated with a potential OA modifying drug, 3)gene expression between OA meniscal cells and OA meniscal cells treated with the drug, 4) gene expression between early stage OA articular cartilage and normal cartilage, 5) gene expression between advanced stage OA articular cartilage and normal cartilage, and more. |
| Lee Nadler & Doug MacFadden | lee_nadleratdfcidotharvarddotedu douglas_macfaddenathmsdotharvarddotedu | 617-432-7800 | Harvard University | Discovery | MA | Harvard is looking for a varied group of partner institutions. We are seeking partners that represent underserved minorities, are situated in rural environments, may be relatively small in size and with limited technical capability. We are also seeking institutions that have unique resources. Previous work with national partners is a plus. | We have focused considerable attention on developing sustainable resource discovery systems. Our work includes a federated specimen discovery network (SPIN/VSL/PSL), streamlined access to Harvard assets (e.g., publications, researcher profiles, clinical trials, cores, educational resources), and ongoing development of the Catalyst portal and the SHRINE federated protocol. We offer collaboration, experience, and technology for developing local and cross-institutional resource discovery systems. |

| Bob DiLaura | dilaurratccfdotorg | 216-870-3190 | Cleveland CTSC (Case Western Reserve, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and MetroHealth Systems) | Both | OH | Some institutions already have significant technical depth and
existing systems in the areas of Research Networking and
Resource Discovery as called for in RFA-RR-09-009. The
Cleveland Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative is a
CTSA made up of four strong partner institutions, including
Case Western Reserve U, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals,
and MetroHealth Systems. We are highly motivated to partner
with current organizational leaders to support applications in
both areas. | Our CTSA has great diversity of size and complexity, and serves
a large minority population in NE Ohio. We can provide a perfect
support partner for system alpha/beta testing, evaluation and
use over the 2 year award. We collectively have one of the
largest research portfolios, multiple EMRs, nearly every type of
CTMS/genomic/proteomic research system available, and deep
clinician/investigator expertise in cardiovascular, neurological
and sleep research. We also have PBRN expertise ready to go. |
| Chris Shaffer and Daphne Plaut | shaffercatohsudotedu | 503-494-6057 | Oregon Health & Science University and Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research | Discovery | OR | We are interested in participating in a resource discovery project
that includes bibliographic management and dissemination
elements. In particular, we would like to develop tools to collect,
organize and make available the research output of CTSA
affiliated scientists. The project could include commercial tools
such as Collexis or open-source projects such as OpenWetWare. | We are the directors of the libraries at OHSU and KPHSR. Our
institutions are joint partners in the Oregon Clinical and
Translational Research Institute (OCTRI), a CTSA participating
institution that recently implemented Collexis. Staff at our libraries
have expertise in bibliographic management and dissemination. |

| Harry Shamoon MD | shamoonateinsteindotyudotedu | 718-430-3382 | Einstein-Montefiore Insitute for Clinical and Translational Research (CTSA) | Networking | NY | We are interested in partners who plan to implement a suite of platforms, including the Collexis Collexis Institutional Knowledge Dashboard to enhance the ability of our CTSA to support a collaborative research environment, facilitating research both within the Einstein-Montefiore community, across the CTSA Consortium, and embracing other NCRR and NIH programs. The infrastructure should aid investigators and clinicians from "T1" through "T3" in the identification of potential collaborators, support young investigators in their search for appropriate mentors, enhance communication, and further research networking. | Our CTSA Informatics leader--Dr. Tom Karson--will be involved in the institutional implementation of Collexis capabilities, and developing approaches to integrate this research networking methodology with other such projects as they evolve across the various CTSA institutions. We also hope to develop the base of expertise and best practices in implementing research networking tools in medical schools and academic health systems. Finally, we will identify partners that can help evaluate research networking. |
