Fostering Collaboration
Hosted Bioinformatics BoF session at NISBRE 2008 NE-sponsored Core Facility Collaboration
meeting hosted during same conference Post-meeting:
Tried to get NCRR support for bioinformatics core collaboration, but unsuccessful in even getting list of bioinformatics core directors
NCRR people suggested we work with Core Facility folks

Birth of NICL
Network of IDeA Funded Core Laboratories founded NICLweb.org
Core Facility Database Initial organizational meeting held at the
2009 Annual Meeting of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Core Facilities (ABRF) meeting in Memphis in February
Positive feedback from NCRR folks Not much follow-through… But another organizational “track”
planned for NISBRE 2010 April 19, 2010
AR INBRE Bioinformatics Core 10
Recent Developments
New core facilities collaborations popping up: NICL, in part, an outgrowth of Northeast
Regional Life Sciences Core Directors Midwest Association of Core Directors
(wwwMWACD.org) organized at ABRF 2010 Prior to NM Bioinformatics Summit, a “western
states” INBRE/COBRE bioinformatics cores meeting
All planning or have some kind of registry Potential for significant overlap and most will
not support a full feature setApril 19, 2010
AR INBRE Bioinformatics Core 11
Why ABRF?
National (international) organization Good financial base Mission to foster collaboration
among cores “Neutral” about technologies,
funding sources, geography, etc. Good standing with NSF/NIH
Potential funding opportunities

ABRF Proposal
Develop organizational structure to support “affiliates” and “chapters” For quick start-ups around “hot” interests ABRF support for meetings, listservs, etc., with few requirements
Support the creation of a super-registry Core Facilities Regional Groups Societies Individuals Graduate Programs
Approved by the ABRF Executive Board on Thursday Asked to be Chair of Affiliates Committee; call this Friday Working with current ABRF President, ABRF President-Elect, and
FASEB President Also asked to chair a session at ABRF 2011 on Bringing Special
Interest Groups Together
