Upcoming F2F

Scheduled for Nov29-30, Main NIH campus, in Bethesda, MD. Nov 29 will be
the joint meeting with DSIC and CTMS. Data sharing capotal group has
been using caTIES specifically as a use case -- joint session willl
address issues

DSIC -- Nov -- to -

CTMS -- Nov -- to --

TBPT F2F on Nov 30.

Demonstrate opportunity for hands-on usage of the tool

Office of Biospe and bioresearch and give us an update from them

Cancer genome atlas project update -- also had an announcement last
week. More detail at the F2F

Integration of various communities funded by NCI and diff parts of NCI,
EDRN, and Co-Op groups -- some activities centralized use of caBIG tools

caBIG point -- Grid -- for federated queries. Hands-on workshop for
those who are interested -- state of the tool and state of the Grid --
looking at integrating some of the tools by grid qurery. This would be a
chance for folks to und how the tools could be integrated at the Grid
level.

Addressing -- Tissue Microarray, tracking and payment module, etc --
scope of those initiatives and others for Yr-4 activities

Next Month -- Joint issue with CTMS == deal with the dynamic system.
Some representation from VCDE we can look at the issues for adding data
elements.

Members of the prostate PSOREs -- adoption activating caTissueCore and
CAE.

Enterprise Adopter Plan -- discussion

Joint day -- Overlapping issue with DSIC group. Half day for them --
Issues with data sharing. How it fits with NIH data sharing policies.
Pre-publication access to data, not releasing info prior to publication
will be addressed.

caTIES application -- exp with the wider group -- DSIC and CTMS

Update on the security policy and Procedures

Need for providing the policy and procedures for caGrid

We also need the policy and procedure to be in place under which we
operate these tools

Breakouts -- specifically for developers to discuss the tools whether
the caGrid tools do provide support for the requirement.

Enterprise Adopter Plan Overview:

caBIG long term goal -- create a self sustaining community. End users
and adopters who like to use the tools get the technical support that
they need to adopt these tools

Register for this Enterprise Plan -- end users to get the support that
they need for th

They will be sharing the data after implementing the TBPT Tools

Support: Help desk, when necessary -- on-site support. Also sharing
lessons learned from the dev and adopter teams

Typical Funded Adopter: to participate in the typical software
development lifecycle

Any questions could be sent to Ken Jones and Juergen Klenk.

Q is this not for already funded adopters

A. You already have access to all the resources . It's for those
adopters who have the scientific need to use these tools

Q. if I was funded for Year 1-2 and not for Yr-3. Do I still have those
tools available

A. Yes

Q. I'm not a funded adopter now, but I would like it in the long term

A. Yes, that's something to think about and include. We have to
encourage the data sharing that comes with adoption. Also if you could
contribiuteyour lesson learned

Q. If I put caTissueCore in my Tissue Bank -- and if it fails -- how do
I get the support?

A. We have been looking into these options. The details are yet to
come.There will be some sort of agreement between the program and the
adopters to make sure you get the support that you are going to need.

Comment (Ian): We need to know from you, what you need in this regard

Comment (David Carell): We want 4 hour guaranteed support. If we are
using this tool, and if it doesn't work, we will have severely
compromised.

Comment(Ian): RFI for support for caBIG tools. NCI is looking for
centers who could provide support for caBIG tools.

Comment (David Steffen):

Comment(Ken Jones): Open some biz opportunity for org for them to charge
for suporrt and mamke a biz model out of that. We are looking for
innovative ways to provide support

Comment (Bob Morell): Additional funders will be announced within 90
days. Is that still valid on table

There are no

Comment (David C): Unfunded adopters -- same contractual obligation as
the normal adopter to share their data

Yes. Sharing data to the extent that institute can share the data. But
these will not be the same contractual obligation -- will not have to
participate in the day to day software development lifecycle.

Date sharing and Sharing the lessons Learned -- this will get back to
the development team.

Q. How many will be awarded?

A. There's no limit as of now. We will release more information in
future on the listserve. It will be a lot less intense than a proposal.
We will let you know the avaluation process as we get close to the
adoption process

Data Call

As we move to the caBIG enterprise -- we need to compile the results of
caBIG tools usage. We have to collect the data call. Asked to put out
the word -- to ans the Q -- who is using the tools at your institution,
folks that are adopters, what's the roles, what research project the
tools have been used in. Be able to say in the annual meeting -- the
result of the pilot activities. Juergen will give more information as we
go along. We will call individual adopters. We may need to do across the
board with the folks who are using these tools.

TBPT workspace updates

caTIES v2.0

Not much to report for caTIES v2.0. Penn team is working to get into the
operation. More research kind of work to refine

CAE v1.2

Planning another release by the end of this month -- five additional
cancers.

Will be available for People who are interested in downloading and
testing

Comment(Mike Becich): These are non-funded activities

Liaisons Report
