COLLABORATION IN CANCER RESEARCH COMMUNITY: CANCER BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS GRID (caBIG) - Collaborative Computational Technologies for Biomedical Research - page 279

ability specifi cations. With a broadly deployed caEHR, it should be possible
to create a virtuous cycle in which research defi nes the next generation of care
and care drives the next generation of research, using collaborations enabled
by information technology to achieve the NCI's mission of reducing the burden
of cancer in our society.
