This issue of the TRIbune highlights nationally significant TRI partnerships with the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) in the UAMS College of Medicine. Our main story is about the first-of-its-kind Clinical Research Informatics track in the U.S. being offered by DBMI. This program, supported by TRI, helps address a national concern about study reproducibility and the integration of clinical care with research. Our TRIbutary features a national Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program workshop being hosted at UAMS by DBMI’s Mathias Brochhausen, Ph.D. During the two-day workshop, participants will be producing artificial intelligence products known as ontologies. This is a significant undertaking because it will help researchers overcome the absence of standardized biomedical language across institutions. Our TRI & Me feature highlights a fruitful partnership with DBMI’s Ahmad Baghal, M.D., who directs the Arkansas Clinical Data Repository.
