 
Strategic Planning
for
IT Support of Grant-funded Research
Biomedical Research Institutions Information Technology Exchange
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
Seattle, Washington
10–12 September 2003

      Information technology plays an essential role in almost all 
biomedical research. To be competitive, biomedical research 
organizations must provide access to key information technology 
as part of the institutional infrastructure available to their 
researchers. At the same time, individual investigators must be 
allowed maximum flexibility in the pursuit of their research. 
Determining how best to accomplish these sometimes conflicting 
goals will be the topic of this meeting — Strategic 
Planning for IT Support of Grant-Funded Research. 
 
 We will begin with a general discussion of the overall challenge, then turn our attention to a few individual topics which will be discussed in plenary session. Smaller working groups will then convene to elaborate on individual topics. |
