Informatics Developments Relevant to Clinical Research

As part of its activities to reengineer clinical research, the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) is funding a two-year effort to track developments and to inform the research community in the area of clinical research information technology. NCRR contracted with a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) operated by the non-profit MITRE Corporation to provide a series of targeted research reports on the rapidly changing informatics landscape, as well as to provide strategic advice to the NCRR.

MITRE will investigate current informatics used for clinical research, propose and analyze future approaches, monitor trends, and forecast the evolution of related technologies developed by both public and private entities. MITRE also will monitor and analyze academic, federal, and commercial informatics developments that could impact clinical research.
