BCIG BRAINSTORMING SESSION: "Biomedical Computing at the NIH – a wide angle view”

Clinical Center (Building 10) Medical Board Room (Room 2C116)

DESCRIPTION: It is pretty clear that biomedical computing is an integral and essential aspect of the work of all of the NIH ICs. The purpose of this session is to explore possibilities for achieving more cooperative collaboration regarding biomedical computing (in the broadest sense) among the NIH IC’s and across the Intramural/Extramural divide for obvious positive benefits. The format of the session will be “facilitated unstructured dialogue.” This means the floor will be open for everyone to speak. The facilitator’s role is only to keep the dialogue on topic. It most likely will work well if participants are open to explore together free of limiting mental models in the spirit of group discovery.
