CORE 5: TECHNOLOGY DISSEMINATION

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The focus will be to disseminate new discoveries, reagents, methods and technology to the greater biomedical community. In addition, there will be an effort to develop standards for data sharing and integration in collaboration with other TCNPs. The primary mode of datasharing will be traditional publication but we also plan to generate an especially useful web site to broadcast some of the discoveries of the TCNP. An innovative mechanism for disseminating our discoveries will exploit Dr. Pandey''s relationship to the Institute of Bioinformatics in Bangalore, India. The development of data standards and ontologies will be extremely important for sharing and communicating data and information and is also developed by this core.
