4. learning objectives
• Understand the current operating model of
research in an AMC, how it got that way,
and where it might be going.
• Understand some of the challenges and
issues researchers, research deans, & IT
teams typically face.
• Understand opportunities for IT teams to
enhance both the research mission & its
sustainability.
10. “Science is the belief
in the ignorance of
experts.”
Richard Feynman,
“What is Science?”,
address to science teachers, 1966

23. Vannevar Bush, Science, The Endless Frontier
"Discoveries pertinent to medical progress
have often come from remote and unexpected
sources, and it is certain that this will
be true in the future. It is wholly
probable that progress in the treatment of
cardiovascular disease, renal disease,
cancer, and similar refractory diseases
will be made as the result of fundamental
discoveries in subjects unrelated to those
diseases, and perhaps entirely unexpected
by the investigator. Further progress
requires that the entire front of medicine
and the underlying sciences of chemistry,
physics, anatomy, biochemistry, physiology,
pharmacology, bacteriology, pathology,
parasitology, etc., be broadly developed."
37. researchers & administration
share a mission

but don’t always see things the same way
39. show me the money
some key facts
• OPM is key
• OPM comes in 3 main flavors:
internal cross-subsidization
philanthropy
grants
• NIH grants are the gold coin of the
realm
• grants have both direct and indirect
costs
46. • leading edge research requires high
performance, high throughput, and highly
flexible computing capabilities
• regulatory environment requires role-based
access to integrated data from multiple
institutional (and even non-institutional)
systems
• smart execution of research strategy requires
tracking every detail of the research
operation
• sandboxes
• interoperability is key
59. how are your researchers
using the internet for
research or for
professional
communication?
any issues?
