* [[DBP_changeover|DBP changeover]]
** We have an NIH approved procedure for changeover of the DBP's
** I am looking to you for nominations
** I expect 3 to 4 new DBP's.
** Goal to announce the new DBP's at the 2007 AHM
** Conditions for eligibility are:
*** Willingness to adopt the NA-MIC kit
*** Collaboration history with at least one of the Core 1 or Core 2 groups
*** Hiring of CS personel into the DBP to help translational efforts

<br />

* NA-MIC definition of Accomplishment:
** '''We need to explain to outsiders the value-add that NA-MIC represents.''' The fact that all of you are outstanding is not enough.
** All cores: NIH grants resulting from NA-MIC
** Dissemination and training: Adoption of NA-MIC kit (what metric to use?)
** Core 1-3: Joint papers with core 1 and 2
** [[Publications|Publication pages ]]<nowiki>: please update the pages. </nowiki>
** '''Do not forget to acknowledge NA-MIC'''
*** This is an important measure of productivity (see above)
*** Only peer reviewed journal papers really count.
* Volunteers for next year AHM? Preferred dates?
** Please send me emails about this

<br />

* Blast from the past (last year intro)
** From the NCBC RFA: Data sharing will be as important as software sharing…
** http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-035.html 'The NIH will expect investigators … to make their research data available to the scientific community ... . data … for broader use … be free of identifiers … and variables that could lead to deductive disclosure of individual subjects.'
** http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-032.html '.our definition of "the timely release and sharing" ... no later than the acceptance for publication of the main findings from the final data set. '
** RFA: Software Sharing: http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-04-003.html
*** …NIH does have goals for software dissemination…
*** …software should be freely available …
*** …permit the commercialization of enhanced or customized versions …
*** …include the ability of researchers outside the center and its collaborating projects to modify the source code and to share modifications …
