	BIRN: Biomedical Informatics Research Network
		BIRN represents the first attempt to develop a "protocol" for collaborative research among neuroscientists and medical scientists.
		BIRN leverages a number of ongoing studies in the hope of improving both biomedical insight and statistical accuracy.
		BIRN will develop useful ways of sharing data rapidly over the Internet, with appropriate controls over data and patient confidentiality and privacy, under model agreements among the many scientists involved.

	Biomedical Informatics Research Network - Home Page
		The Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) is a National Institutes of Health initiative that fosters distributed collaborations in biomedical science by utilizing information technology innovations.
		Currently the BIRN involves a consortium of 19 universities and 26 research groups that participate in one or more of three test bed projects centered around brain imaging of human neurological disorders and associated animal models.
		Mouse BIRN - studying animal models of multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, ADHD, Tourette's disorder, brain cancer.

	Biomedical Informatics Research Network Enhancements, December 8, 2004 Press Release - National Institutes of Health ...
		BIRN is an NIH initiative involving a consortium of 15 universities and 22 research groups that fosters collaborations in biomedical science by utilizing information technology innovations.
		BIRN's charter is to create an environment encouraging biomedical scientists and clinical researchers to make new discoveries by facilitating sharing, analysis, visualization, and data comparisons across laboratories.
		For example, BIRN is using these initial test bed studies to drive the construction and daily use of a federated data sharing environment that presents biological data held at geographically separate sites as a single, unified database.

	BIRN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		BIRN's scientific goal is to integrate a wide variety of types of data, acquired by the most advanced biomedical imaging and General Clinical Research Centers around the U.S., into a extensible knowledge system.
		BIRN is using this type of scenario as a carrot to motivate collaboration as a scientific virtue: BIRN hopes to convert convinced data mine-ers into data sharers.
		BIRN is also exploring the changing sociology of research management with respect to the various levels of management (CC management, individual project management, or funding agency oversight) and the mechanisms (read: technologies) by which management is supported.

	Cover Story
		In his arms Birn cradled a beautiful Torah scroll, the books of Moses, which he is donating to the synagogue in honor of his wife and two daughters who died in the concentration camps.
		Birn was born in Poland, where he made a living in the fabric trade until the war started.
		Throughout Birn's hospitalization, members of the congregation took turns cooking dinner for him every night, and he was rarely alone during visiting hours.

	The Birni Currency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The ancient Brownies of Birn (now extinct for several millenia) were a special folk, and so was the currency they used.
		Birn currency was unique in the history of Caelereth in that each coin was, in a sense, alive.
		It carried a picture of a leaf and the inscription "ort tl birn", meaning "Leaf of Birn", and was made from the wood of the adlemir tree.

	BIRN - Mouse BIRN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The aim of the Mouse BIRN is to share and analyze multi-scale structural and functional data and ultimately to integrate them with genomic and gene expression data on the mouse brain.
		Correlated multi-scale analyses of data from the Mouse BIRN projects promise to provide a comprehensive basis upon which to interpret signals from the whole brain relative to the tissue and cellular alterations characteristic of the modeled disorder.
		Mouse BIRN participants use multi-modal and multi-scale imaging data from mouse brain research to understand disorders such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.

	Criticism in Jeopardy
		Birn has crossed some kind of line, but then it becomes absolutely necessary to establish what and where that line is.
		Birn is our major source for this, since she has expressed her anxieties and speculated on the background to Goldhagen's action in both FAZ and Spiegel.
		Birn's article in _The Historical Journal_ (that the gravamen of her accusation is of distortion, which is not actionable, but NOT of fraud or falsification, which might be).

		With respect to TeraGrid, BIRN has been identified as one of the national-scale initiatives that will be able to take advantage of the data and compute capability that the TeraGrid will make available.
		In addition to managing large-scale data sets, BIRN researchers may require the multi-teraflops compute power of the TeraGrid to perform the most complex comparisons and analyses on the highest-resolution brain imaging data sets.
		BIRN will provide a way to assemble and analyze such collections with a focus on important neurological disorders.

	NIH provides $32,8 million to enhance Biomedical Informatics Research Network
		The BIRN Co-ordinating Center (BIRN-CC) develops, implements, and supports the information technology infrastructure necessary to achieve distributed collaborations and data sharing among the test bed participants.
		Although all three test beds involve some aspect of neuro-imaging, the problems that they are addressing are common throughout biomedical research and the solutions will be applicable outside the individual fields represented in the test beds.
		To this end, the BIRN programme is rapidly producing tools and technologies that enable the aggregation of data from virtually any laboratory's research programme to the BIRN data federation system, independent of the biological problem being addressed.

	RIEMER on Goldhagen's threat of legal action
		In my initial reading of Birn's review, I was struck by two aspects of her argument -- one somewhat intriguing, the other quite disconcerting, neither very satisfying.
		First of all, Birn advances a number of methodological objections to Goldhagen's use of archival evidence and judicial testimony.
		Birn's methodological views are radically different -- indeed, often the very reverse -- of Goldhagen's, and certainly worthy of debate.

		During the past year, BIRN has utilized the new Internet 2 network and broadband networking technologies to link several sites in the United States.
		Led by Mark Ellisman, UCSD professor of neurosciences and director of the BIRN coordinating center, the researchers will examine the major sources of variation in brain imaging studies—including the instruments used, calibration of equipment and data analysis—to find avenues for large-scale experiments and to maximize the insight imaging studies can provide.
		The BIRN research effort will be affiliated with the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology [Cal-(IT)²] to develop large-scale medical science advances.

		One of the first BIRN testbeds is for schizophrenia researchers, who will pool their images to create a national treasure trove.
		For instance, the scanners gathering that schizophrenia data may each come with their own characteristic idiosyncrasies, so researchers must track which scanner produced a given image, and try to find ways to correlate images taken by all those scanners.
