Two biorepositories, operated by the Partners HealthCare Center for Personalized Genetic Medicine, to serve the research community at Partners HealthCare. The BioSample Services Facility (BSF) provides sample storage and processing services. The Partners Biorepository for Medical Discovery (PBMD) is an enterprise-wide repository of high-quality, consented samples available to foster genetic research and advance understanding of genetic causes of common, complex diseases. Services provided by these cores include assistance with the collection and processing of samples for research use, extraction of DNA and isolation of serum and or plasma with monitored cryogenic storage to provide stability and availability of the materials. After processing, and in conjunction with the BioSample Services Facility, the samples stored within the Biorepository for Medical Discovery may be arrayed for further processing via multiple molecular techniques such as - sequencing, genotyping, and expression profiling.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 6, 2016. A publicly accessible data repository to provide neuroscience investigators with secure access to cohort collections. The Databank collects and disseminates gene expression data from microarray experiments on brain tissue samples, along with diagnostic results from postmortem studies of neurological and psychiatric disorders. All of the data that is derived from studies of the HBTRC collection is being incorporated into the National Brain Databank. This data is available to the general public, although strict precautions are undertaken to maintain the confidentiality of the brain donors and their family members. The system is designed to incorporate MIAME and MAGE-ML based microarray data sharing standards. Data from various types of studies conducted on brain tissue in the HBTRC collection will be available from studies using different technologies, such as gene expression profiling, quantitative RT-PCR, situ hybridization, and immunocytochemistry and will have the potential for providing powerful insights into the subregional and cellular distribution of genes and/or proteins in different brain regions and eventually in specific subregions and cellular subtypes.

Assessment test to assess a person's ability to identify various odors. Participants use scratch 'n' sniff cards and after scratching them one at a time, are asked to identify which of four pictures on the computer screen matches the odor they have just smelled. Participants ages 10-85 are administered nine odor cards, while those ages 3-9 are administered five odor cards. Child participants (ages 3 -9 years) are first asked to identify the eight pictures that are used as answer choices, to ensure they can complete the task. Having identified the pictures, they are asked if they have tasted or smelled the objects or foods depicted. This test takes approximately 4 to 5 minutes to administer and is recommended for ages 3-85.

Project that aims to provide structure and clarity to the research-by-consortium model, presenting both the consortia framework and partnership components in an effort to guide and inform emerging and existing collaborative efforts. Their goal is to ensure that research-by-consortium efforts are at their highest performance and achieving the best possible outcomes. A consortium will thrive if its leadership and governance structure is able to define a mission that's shared by all stakeholders and articulate the desired outcomes of the effort early in the process. For collaborative efforts to move forward, consortia must recognize and leverage the unique strengths and resources that each partner can contribute and bring to fruition. They have found that managing expectations and establishing transparency measures are essential to building trust among all participating stakeholders. Transparency curbs potential conflicts of interest and creates a culture that allows for open sharing of data and a responsible approach to intellectual property negotiations. They found that for collaborations in the medical research and development ecosystem to be effective and sustainable, they must be driven by the ultimate goal of delivering a medical solution that could improve or save lives. Through the project, they are creating several tools for the biomedical research community: * Framework report: This series of reports analyzes a diversity of existing consortia to understand the operational management and framework used to initiate and manage these complex collaborations. * Consortium database * Landscape analysis trends and intended output * Educational webinars and spotlights

A three-year consortium that brings together insurers and health care providers to share information from approximately 9 million patients, with a goal that insights from the data will bring down healthcare costs and improve outcomes. It aims to be one of the largest health information exchanges in the country, with the goal of better connecting the vast, often disparate healthcare landscape across California. The database that will house patient data will be overseen by Orion Health, an independent eHealth software company. The information will only be used for clinical purposes. Academic research institutions can apply to use the Cal INDEX de-identified data for research to benefit the public good, such as population health initiatives. Cal INDEX has five main goals: * Improve the quality of care by providing clinicians with a unified statewide source of integrated patient information * Provide patients with a seamless transition between health plans or across various healthcare professionals and hospitals * Improve efficiency and reduce the cost of healthcare * Encourage healthcare technology innovation * Improve public health by providing de-identified data for medical research. Cal INDEX plans to launch at the end of 2014 with approximately 9 million health information records from combined members of Dignity Health and Blue Shield of California and Anthem Blue Cross. Cal INDEX is open to any health data contributor. Cal INDEX will establish a bi-directional data interface with providers to exchange data with EMRs and other hospital and office-based systems.

Universal framework for describing behavioral tasks. Language to abstract and standardize behavioral task descriptions on two layers. Graphical layer specifies elements to describe behavioral tasks as state machine in formal flow diagram and how task controlling system interacts with subject. This graphical layer has been designed to be easy to understand while retaining all aspects of behavioral task. The second layer is corresponding, XML-based description of task. This layer forms rigid, yet extensible foundation of BEADL and hides hardware implementation related details form graphical representation.BEADL-specific extension for Neurodata Without Borders data standard defines how behavioral outcomes of task are stored in NWB including corresponding BEADL task description.

A set of guidelines (community effort) suitable for use with any structured format for simulation experiments to identify the Minimal Information About a Simulation Experiment necessary to enable the reproducible simulation experiments. The Guidelines list the information that a modeller needs to provide to enable the execution and reproduction of a numerical simulation experiment, derived from a given set of quantitative models. MIASE is designed to help modelers and software tools to exchange their simulation settings and to foster collaboration. In 2011, he MIASE guidelines were accepted by researchers from 19 different institutes.
