Informatics Resource Center
Specific Aims
Aim 1. Create a federated data system to integrate UAMS electronic
medical records (EMR) and research data and to integrate with data from
other research centers via the NCI's caBIG network. The web-based federated
system will combine a clinical data warehouse
with autonomous research databases linked through the caXchange data hub.
Aim 2. Enhance and maintain digital enterprise systems incorporating
regulatory guidelines and standards to assist translational
researchers in the design, implementation, and management of research projects. CIRC
is establishing a "one-stop" protocol submission
interface by expanding the capabilities of the current online protocol and
regulatory system (ARIA). This system will link to the developing UAMS Clinical Trials
consisting of an integration of caBIG Clinical Trials Suite, OpenClinica,
TrialDB, and the UAMS Data Federation.
Aim 3. Develop the TRI web portal
and investigator dashboards. The portal will link
existing tools, resources, and information to
support translational research among research, clinical, and public
communities. Investigator dashboards will provide access for analyzing
data from the UAMS Data Federation.
Aim 4. Provide informatics tools for
collaboration and community engagement to support translational research. CIRC will provide information, training,
digital tools for collaboration and social networking, and technical support
tailored for specific communities.
Aim 5. Train the next generation of
information researchers, promote translational informatics in graduate
programs, and provide training and support to researchers. CIRC focuses
its educational efforts on informatics as a science
and applied discipline; on supporting researchers, staff, and students to
use informatics resources; and on supporting the other TRI components to
use appropriate information technologies in their educational programs.
