This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Information Services Division, established in January 2006, supports the research and outreach missions of the National Primate Research Center, University of Wisconsin Madison. The Division consists of two existing units, the Jacobsen Library and the Data Management & Digital Imaging Unit (IT), and the newly established, yet-to-be populated, Informatics Unit. All three Units will work closely together to provide a continuum of information services and resources to the Wisconsin Center. Beginning in January 2005, the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center embarked on an informatics strategic planning process. The Center hired on outside consultant to aid the staff in the process and to document the outcome. The Wisconsin Center, recognizing the importance of collaboration and data sharing, has invested both time and local funds to develop an understanding of what needs to be done to make this a reality. The Informatics Strategy takes the idea of sharing information and data to the next level, the creation of a systems environment to optimally support primate research activities collaboratively across the primate research community through the sharing of information, tools, and best practices. Each of the three units, under the auspices of the Information Services Division, while continuing to provide services and resources to the Wisconsin Center, will play a key role in furthering the WNPRC s Informatics Strategy.
