- Description
- The National Institutes of Health, Warren Grant Magnuson Center (Clinical Center), Pharmacy Department has a requirement for a Biomedical IT and Administrative Support. This Contract calls for contractor support relating to certain activities in the DCRI Scientific Computing Section (SCS). A major theme relating to all of these activities is ?a multidisciplinary research team approach to biomedical data mining.? The concept ?biomedical data mining? as used here is intended to convey the idea of utilizing captured biomedical scientific and administrative data to discover new knowledge, to confirm or refute tentative hypotheses, and/or to suggest new hypotheses worthy of exploring. This is in contrast (but complementary to) the more traditional hypothesis driven paradigm typically the hallmark of biomedical research. ?Multidisciplinary research team,? a concept inspired by the NIH Roadmap, suggests a team approach to data mining. Such teams may be comprised of biomedical research scientists, computer scientists, electrical engineers, statisticians, mathematicians, administrators, technical writers, intellectual property experts, etc. In short, whatever skills needed to achieve rapid, high-quality results from data mining efforts would be assembled to work closely together under this multidisciplinary team model. The SCS directs and coordinates the NIH Biomedical Computing Interest Group (BCIG) which is one of the largest and most active of the 100+ special interest groups at the NIH. The SCS also runs an active student program in which graduate and undergraduates students in computer science, engineering and the biomedical sciences work part time to advance the goals of the SCS.
