Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research Informatics System

The Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR) informatics system was developed to share data across the entire TBI research field and to facilitate collaboration between laboratories, as well as interconnectivity with other informatics platforms. Sharing data, methodologies, and associated tools, rather than summaries or interpretations of this information, can accelerate research progress by allowing re-analysis of data, as well as re-aggregation, integration, and rigorous comparison with other data, tools, and methods. This community-wide sharing requires common data definitions and standards, as well as comprehensive and coherent informatics approaches.

联邦跨机构创伤性脑损伤研究信息学系统（Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research, FITBIR）之构建，旨在促进整个创伤性脑损伤研究领域的数据共享，并便利实验室间的协作以及与其他信息学平台的互联互通。相较于信息的概要或解读，共享数据、方法及其相关工具能够通过允许数据的重新分析、再聚合、整合以及与其它数据、工具和方法的严格对比，加速研究进展。此类社区范围内的共享需求，要求具备共同的数据定义与标准，以及全面且一致的信息学方法。
