BIRN is a BISTI Leadership Project for the National Institutes of Health
• Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative – BISTI Report to NIH Director: June 1999
• Interdisciplinary Teams– Collaborating to Develop Mathematical Models, Write Software and
Adapt Systems• Cooperation with Computer Science in:
– Algorithm, Software, Database and System Development• Improved Access to Computing
– Shared PC Clusters in Biomedical Laboratories to High-Performance Systems in National Centers
• Workforce Development to Encompasses Every Level– Technician to Ph.D.
• New Centers for Research and Teaching – People Competent in Biomedicine and Computation & Mathematics
