i2b2 technology inside translational science

This announcement by NIH of several new collaborative projects across CTSA includes the highlight of one relevant to i2b2:

"The University of Washington project, led by Dr. Nicholas Anderson, will develop a mechanism allowing researchers at three large, geographically distributed medical centres to easily access large shared data sets to assist in designing research studies and generating hypotheses. This team, which includes investigators from the University of California, Davis, and the University of California, San Francisco, will extend Harvard University's i2b2 software architecture to support cross-institution searches."

This is a gratifying large scale adoption of i2b2 software and the leadership of our colleagues in the Northwest is much appreciated.
