Grid Access for Researchers and Clinicians Sample Clauses

Grid Access for Researchers and Clinicians. (involving UCL/UPF/UOXF/IMIM) Several projects are ongoing within Europe (and further afield) addressing the issue of grid infrastructure and accessibility. The VPH XxX will assume responsibility for bringing together these initiatives to develop strategy to open up grid infrastructure - not only to the research community but also to clinical use. This requires the very definition of grid computing to be successfully met – “distributed computing conducted transparently by disparate organisations across multiple administrative domains”. All aspects of grid technologies: middleware, networks, high-performance ‘on-demand’ computing resources, data accessibility, automated data anonymisation procedures, etc., must not only be working for the purposes of demonstrations, but must be persistent and always available. This is particularly important if grid technologies are to be used as reliable tools in a clinical setting. Policy within the EU has to be adjusted to guarantee VPH researchers access to the necessary facilities, and also to influence the way which the individual resources are operated. In the software domain there exist numerous tools (based on web services) which can be used to facilitate access to publicly available databases. As part of the RTAE, suitable tools will be assessed or adopted for the VPH ToolKit. The complicating factor of conflicting policies on medical data confidentiality and privacy across the EU will need to be addressed (See Task 7). In the hardware domain, political, policy and management challenges most be confronted to ensure seamless access to EU grid infrastructure for the VPH Community. This includes existing infrastructure such as EGEE and DEISA, along with future EU-wide petascale computing initiatives. Access to the high-speed networks themselves, which bind these machines together, such as XXXXX Xxxxxxxxxx and other EU grid networks (e.g. the UK National Grid Service) must be examined, particularly in bridging often heavily firewalled private clinical networks to these high-speed research networks. The means by with running VPH projects (i.e. ACTG, Health-e-Child, @neurIST, ImmunoGrid, ViroLab) access grid infrastructures will be audited as part of the WP3 RTAE in order to identify obstacles/establish best practice protocols. Finally, the timeliness of investigations /diagnoses /treatments is absolutely critical in the clinical domain, necessitating dedicated on- demand access to such machines. This in itself presents ...

  • Research Use Reporting To assure adherence to NIH GDS Policy, the PI agrees to provide annual Progress Updates as part of the annual Project Renewal or Project Close-out processes, prior to the expiration of the one (1) year data access period. The PI who is seeking Renewal or Close-out of a project agree to complete the appropriate online forms and provide specific information such as how the data have been used, including publications or presentations that resulted from the use of the requested dataset(s), a summary of any plans for future research use (if the PI is seeking renewal), any violations of the terms of access described within this Agreement and the implemented remediation, and information on any downstream intellectual property generated from the data. The PI also may include general comments regarding suggestions for improving the data access process in general. Information provided in the progress updates helps NIH evaluate program activities and may be considered by the NIH GDS governance committees as part of NIH’s effort to provide ongoing stewardship of data sharing activities subject to the NIH GDS Policy.

  • Technology Access A. Contractor expressly acknowledges that state funds may not be expended in connection with the purchase of an automated information system unless that system meets certain statutory requirements relating to accessibility by persons with visual impairments. Accordingly, Contractor represents and warrants to System Agency that the technology provided to System Agency for purchase (if applicable under this Contract or any related Solicitation) is capable, either by virtue of features included within the technology or because it is readily adaptable by use with other technology, of:

  • Supplier Diversity Seller shall comply with Xxxxx’s Supplier Diversity Program in accordance with Appendix V.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
