NCRI Strategic Framework for Cancer Research Informatics
2 key points…
Common data standards should be adopted
Data sharing should be the norm
![Page 10: Promoting Data Standardisation Within the Cancer Community](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568148ca550346895db5e613/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Data Issues
• Large amount of data
• Lack of data standards
• Lack of interoperability between databases
Need a cohesive approach between disciplines
![Page 11: Promoting Data Standardisation Within the Cancer Community](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568148ca550346895db5e613/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Work to Date
• Development of Framework and initial implementation – introduce idea of data sharing
• Mapping projects, standards and resources on to a matrix – what already exists?
• Development of a data sharing policy with funding bodies
• Communicating with the community through website, workshops and presentations – what does the community want?

• Strategic framework/ Draft data sharing policy
• Information resource for the funding bodies, scientific and clinical communities and the Unit
• Main point of contact with relevant communities
• The matrix is a unique information resource
• Constantly being updated

Informatics Training Review
Max WilkinsonSept 2004
Report Submission June 2005
Implementation of data sharing across the NCRI planning matrix will require investigators to create novel structured
ways of recording, linking and interrogating data
![Page 19: Promoting Data Standardisation Within the Cancer Community](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568148ca550346895db5e613/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Review Objectives
• Compile a focused report on cancer informatics training in the UK• Training• Education
• Determine the degree to which informatics training can support the long term implementation of the NCRI strategic framework
• Provide recommendations on cancer informatics training to the HLSC & community

New Wave of Informatics
• Super dimensional structures are being defined in genomes
• Exponential increases in complexity are expected as transcriptomes and metabolomes are characterised and mapped
• Medicine is moving from a reactionary model to a predictive and preventative model
• The Human genome was only the beginning
![Page 23: Promoting Data Standardisation Within the Cancer Community](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568148ca550346895db5e613/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Several Levels In Cancer Informatics
• Clinical Informatics• Patient data & risk data• Imaging & sample resources• Clinical trials
• Bio Informatics• Research & data manipulation• Data & literature mining
• Information Technology• Infrastructures• Data storage & movement• Tool development & support
![Page 24: Promoting Data Standardisation Within the Cancer Community](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081513/568148ca550346895db5e613/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Requires Culture Change (1)
• The idea of collaboration has to be altered
• A different structure of research group has to be adopted
• Hypothesis driven research has to be expanded to cover systems analysis
• Imperative to gather indicators of implementation

Review Outline
1. Gather opinions of individuals involved in informatics education
2. Outline current curricula in • Higher Education and Institutes
• Professional/Scientific development
3. Identify strategies currently in place
4. Determine requirements for staffing demonstrator projects

Summary
• The nature of cancer informatics is changing rapidly• Coordinate strategies will foster more efficient
discovery• Understanding the changing requirements of
education and training is fundamental to any strategy
• Primary aim is to provide recommendations consistent with the long term implementation of the NCRI Strategic Framework and data sharing policy
