Through support from the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Research Resources, the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) is pioneering the use of advanced cyberinfrastructure for medical research. By synchronizing developments in advanced wide area networking, distributed computing, distributed database federation, and other emerging capabilities of e-science, the BIRN has created a collaborative environment that is paving the way for biomedical research and clinical information management. The BIRN Coordinating Center (BIRN-CC) is orchestrating the development and deployment of key infrastructure components for immediate and long-range support of biomedical and clinical research being pursued by domain scientists in three neuroimaging test beds.
在美国国立卫生研究院国家研究资源中心的支持下，生物医学信息学研究网络（BIRN）正在开创将先进的网络基础设施用于医学研究的先河。通过同步先进广域网、分布式计算、分布式数据库联合以及电子科学的其他新兴功能的发展，BIRN创建了一个协作环境，为生物医学研究和临床信息管理铺平了道路。BIRN协调中心（BIRN-CC）正在精心安排关键基础设施组件的开发和部署，以便为三个神经成像试验台的领域科学家正在进行的生物医学和临床研究提供即时和长期支持。
