The IT Key Function is responsible for establishing and maintaining information technology infrastructure to support clinical and translational researchers within the UI and across the national consortium.
It has established a research collaboration web site supporting interest profiles and biosketch management. It has developed a tiered storage area network supporting secure, large-scale curation of scientific data; it manages on-line systems supporting pilot grant proposal submission/review, questionnaire management, conference registration, and data collection for the annual progress report.
It has also created and manages a secure, authenticated wiki for institutional collaboration, including private spaces for groups as requested.
