DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The main goals of the Collaborative Tools Support Network (CTSN) is to 1) provide the collaborative link needed between the BIRN Coordinating Center (BIRN CC) which supplies the BIRN infrastructure and the research community using the tools developed by the current BIRN testbeds and 2) provide outreach to scientific communities (including domains other than neuroimaging) and to provide those communities with assistance in adopting the BIRN resources. The CTSN brings together the Principal investigators, Project Managers and key personnel of each of the BIRN testbeds go off-line. This model will allow the testbed institutional memory and knowledge base to remain intact and be available to the larger community, while allowing the resources to be used in flexible manner as new collaborative projects emerge in fields no covered by the currents testbeds. Our experience has shown that groups seeking BIRN technology and assistance require broad range of time investment on the part of the CTSN. Therefore, we have chosen a model that responds to these needs. The CTSN will provide expert assistant for projects ranging from short term (e.g., help with tool Installation) to the long term (e.g., CTSC's that seek integrate BIRN technology into their existing environment). In addition, the CTSN will provide vigorous outreach to the scientific community. NIH rules now require data sharing plans for grants with costs over $500,000. The CTSN will help BIRN position itself as a data-sharing resource for the NIH community. CTSN members have deep experience In the many steps to data sharing, from writing data-sharing applications to local Institutional Review Boards, to the modification of database schemas as data from new domains are added, to the deidentificatlon of data. The deep experience that CTSN members also have in developing tools to interoperate with the BIRN infrastructure will also be crucial as members of the outside community bring their tools into the BIRN toolset. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): The Collaborative Tools Support Network will provide support for current users of the tools developed by the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) and work to broaden their use into domains outside of the current user base.

描述（由申请人提供）：协作工具支持网络（CTSN）的主要目标是1）提供BIRN协调中心（BIRN CC）之间所需的协作链接，该中心（BIRN CC）使用当前的Birn Tests和2）提供了与NEROSINE（包括这些人的范围）相比，为BIRN TESTS开发的工具提供了BIRN基础架构和研究社区，并提供了这些范围（包括这些人）。 CTSN汇集了每个Birn Testbeds的主要研究人员，项目经理和关键人员。该模型将允许测试床的机构记忆和知识库保持完整，并可以向较大的社区使用，同时允许以灵活的方式使用这些资源，因为新的协作项目在未经电流测试床上涵盖的领域中出现。 我们的经验表明，寻求BIRN技术和援助的团体需要CTSN的广泛时间投资。因此，我们选择了一个满足这些需求的模型。 CTSN将为从短期（例如，在工具安装方面的帮助）到长期（例如，寻求将BIRN技术集成到其现有环境中的CTSC）提供专家助理。 此外，CTSN将向科学界提供彻底的宣传。 NIH规则现在需要成本超过500,000美元的赠款的数据共享计划。 CTSN将帮助Birn将自己作为NIH社区的数据共享资源。 CTSN成员在数据共享的许多步骤中都具有深厚的经验，从编写数据共享应用程序到本地机构审查委员会，再到添加了来自新域的数据的数据库模式的修改，再到数据的数据。 CTSN成员在开发与BIRN基础设施互操作的工具方面的深刻经验也将是至关重要的，因为外部社区的成员将其工具带入了Birn工具集。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：协作工具支持网络将为生物医学信息学研究网络（BIRN）开发的工具的当前用户提供支持，并致力于将其扩大到当前用户群以外的域中的使用。
