# Great Plains IDeA-CTR-Biomedical Informatics and Cyberinfrastructure Enhancement Core

> **NIH NIH U54** · UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER · 2020 · $245,062

## Abstract

Biomedical informatics approaches and tools are key to effectively collaborate across multiple
institutional partners—as proposed in this Great Plains IDeA-CTR—and to conduct research in
rural communities and engage rural residents. While Nebraska has an extensive telehealth
network that links all public educational facilities and hospitals, other tools and technical support
are required to support multi-institutional research collaborations. Having a centrally supported
core with expertise and tools is also essential to securely share and mine available research
data sets. This core will not only support activities, but with an innovative collaborative
biomedical informatics graduate training program in place, this core will also provide support
and experience for the graduate students who will become the next generation of personnel for
member institutions.
