,Blood and other biospecimens along with phenotypic data collected, archived and stored.,

,A list of NIH-supported repositories that accept submissions of appropriate scientific research data from biomedical researchers. It includes resources that aggregate information about biomedical data and information sharing systems. Links are provided to information about submitting data to and accessing data from the listed repositories. Additional information about the repositories and points-of contact for further information or inquiries can be found on the websites of the individual repositories.,

,The NIMH Repository and Genomics Resource (RGR) stores biosamples, genetic, pedigree and clinical data collected in designated NIMH-funded human subject studies. The RGR database likewise links to other repositories holding data from the same subjects, including dbGAP, GEO and NDAR. The NIMH RGR allows the broader research community to access these data and biospecimens (e.g., lymphoblastoid cell lines, induced pluripotent cell lines, fibroblasts) and further expand the genetic and molecular characterization of patient populations with severe mental illness.,

,The Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC) facilitates finding and comparing neuroimaging resources for functional and structural neuroimaging analyses—including popular tools as well as those that once might have been hidden in another researcher's laboratory or some obscure corner of cyberspace. NITRC collects and points to standardized information about tools, making the task of finding and comparing them easier than before. The site can help researchers find the right functional or structural neuroimaging tool or resource for their research. NITRC has recently added services such as cloud-based computing and data storage, and is broadening the range of scientific domains from MR to PET, SPECT, CT, MEG/EEG and optical imaging. Additional domains of interest are digital atlasing, and computational neuroscience, including large-scale and multi-scale modeling. The NITRC team searches out relevant research tools and resources to house on the site. Researchers can compare tools on NITRC and developers can seek and receive help from the community to make their tools more usable and accessible.,

,The goal of BioLINCC is to facilitate and coordinate the existing activities of the NHLBI Biorepository and the Data Repository and to expand their scope and usability to the scientific community through a single web-based user interface.,

Welcome to the January 2018 issue of the NITRD Leads IT quarterly newsletter of the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program. "The NITRD Program will be essential in helping our Nation achieve a brighter future through advances in information technology (IT). Evidence of this is seen in past Federal IT R&D, which led to technologies that help us today (e.g. the Internet, Global Positioning System, and smartphone assistants). Current Federal IT R&D is creating a world of personalized learning, personalized healthcare, and computers capable of answering any technical question... The U.S. government has a decades-long record of helping to achieve a brighter future with advanced IT through two roles: leading the world's IT advancement through aggressive funding of IT R&D, and leading the use of IT for social good, as evidenced by recent NITRD area strategic plans, which seek societal interests as well as technology advancement..." - Dr. Bryan Biegel (Director of the National Coordination Office for Networking and Information).

The tradition of circulating research findings before peerreview is old and continues today. In addition to the informal circulation of non-peer-reviewed research reports between scientists, there are also well-organised schemes, of which the most established currently is the Internet-based preprint repository in physics run from the Los Alamos Institute (http://arxiv.org/). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) also offered a successful and well regarded preprint service in the 1960s.
