## caBIGTM Mission

- Mission: A virtual web of interconnected data, individuals, and organizations redefines how research is conducted, care is provided, and patients/participants interact with the biomedical research enterprise

**Next generation World Wide**
**Web of biomedical research**

## caBIGTM Framework

**caBIGTM Framework**

**Connect** the cancer research community through a shareable, interoperable infrastructure
**Deploy **and Extend standard rules and a common language to more easily share information
**Build** or adapt tools for collecting, analyzing, integrating and disseminating information associated with cancer research and care

## caBIGTM  Connects the Cancer Community:  Researchers, Clinicians, Patients

## Assembling the Cancer Community

**Assembling the Cancer Community**

**Notes:**
As you are well familiar, we created Workspaces where communities work on specific collections of problems; specific research interest groups that build tools and share data; how a community comes together to work on specific activities.

Cross-cutting workspaces support the construction of basic infrastructure, knitting together the caBIGTM community at infrastructure level.

## caBIG Strategy

**caBIG Strategy**

- Modules that address specific needs
- Use of internationaldata standards
- Connect throughdefined electronic interfaces

## Utilizing caBIGTM in NCCCP

- Organizations *leverage* caBIGTM through the following:
- Access the capabilities of caBIGTM, including software, data standards, training, documentation, and support
- Apply caBIGTM to achieve bench-to-bedside-to-bench molecular medicine
- Apply caBIGTM beyond cancer to other diseases
- Build on/contribute to caBIGTM policies and procedures

## Informatics Strategy

- Year 1: Plan
- Assess informatics capabilites/challenges of each site, stratify sites into tiers, determine strategy
- Year 2: Do
- Execute according to plan (develop detailed plan for implementing caBIGTM infrastructure)
- Year 3: Assess
- Evaluate execution according to plan
- Document lessons learned(barriers to implementation, successful strategies,
- 	future opportunities)

## Stratification of sites: Tier 1

**Stratification of sites: Tier 1**

- Year 1: Plan, Year 2: Do, Year 3: Assess

*Baseline*

## Stratification of sites: Tier 2

**Stratification of sites: Tier 2**

- Year 1: Plan, Year 2: Do, Year 3: Assess

*Baseline*

*“**Tier 1”*
*sites*

- Baseline plus: Collaboratively identify and deploy caBIGTM in a manner that adds value to the site, either
- using NCI as an application service provider, or
- installing infrastructure locally, or
- adapting local systems to share data in a caBIGTM compliant manner

## Informatics Breakout Tomorrow

- Introductions
- Detailed overview of the caBIGTM program
- Informal presentations from sites
- Very brief
- No slides needed
- Discussion of sites’ IT and informatics strengths and needs
- Planning our next steps

## Thank you
