The CAP-IT Data and Resource Coordination Center (DRCC/U24) functions as the Program’s centralized data management and network activity coordination center.
The CAP-IT DRCC strives to enhance the productivity of CAP-IT investigators by fostering a collaborative and synergistic research community, accelerate the progress of CAP- IT research by reducing barriers to accessing analytics expertise, ensure the reproducibility of CAP-IT data by deploying best practices for data acquisition and harmonization, and unleash the full potential of CAP-IT activities by developing enhanced tools to enable resource sharing to the broader scientific community.
Aims:
1: Administrative and outreach support to coordinate network activities, facilitate network collaboration, and engage in interaction with the broader community.
2: Workflows to ensure that all data generated by the CAP-IT will be harmonized using standards interoperable with the broader cancer data ecosystem, analysis tools and database to integrate CAP-IT data and facilitate cross-study analysis, and multidisciplinary analytics supports to accelerate CAP-IT research progress.
3: Polices and infrastructures to ensure that all resources generated by the CAP-IT will be findable in a centralized virtual information hub, and that all resources will be shared with the broader scientific community.
The Principal Investigators of CAP-IT DRCC are Drs. Alan Hutson and Song Liu.
Dr. Hutson also serves as the CAP-IT Steering Committee Co-Chair and the Chair of CAP-IT Informatics Working Group.
