1 UCLA RESEARCH INFORMATICS STRATEGIC PLAN Taking Action June,

2 Project Motivation Addressing Research Informatics is among the greatest strategic requirements for UCLA s future research competitiveness 2

3 Scope: Research Informatics Cyber infrastructure research & program-oriented data collection, generation, preservation, fusion analysis, visualization, collaboration, workshops and education Infrastructure & service oriented computation, storage, software, technology, tools, training, workshops Policies & governance in a distributed resource environment 3

4 Comprehensive Approach Phase One Develop core aims for research informatics Raise campus awareness Collect data on core needs aims from five cross -disciplinary groups (71 faculty and staff) Validate needs and confirm opportunities by surveying committees Phase Two Develop vision and strategic themes Moderate discussions with over 60 individuals across campus Phase Three- ongoing Develop actionable strategic plan Form, vet, validate and document the data and findings Include guiding principles, priorities for implementation, fiveyear cost estimates, and an implementation plan for year one 4

5 Campus Involvement Insight on Process and Documentation - Vice Chairs of Research, the Vice Chancellor s Cabinet, ITPB, Committee on Research, IDRE Board Phase I - 70 individuals in five cross-disciplinary committees Phase II 65 individual interviews 5

14 Strategic Opportunity, Themes and Action 14

15 Phase II Opportunity Areas (1) Leveraging our strengths in high performance computing and bioinformatics Capitalizing on having the largest health sciences population in California, as well as close affiliation with the community and county. Improving communication and collaboration between computer science, mathematics, statistics and domain scientists across the campus. 15

16 Phase II Opportunity Areas (2) Optimizing overall collaboration in order to be competitive in responding quickly to team science opportunities requiring informatics expertise. Integration of innovative technology and informatics in grand challenges that capture the imagination of the campus, community, donors, and industry partners. Investing in educational strategies in informatics to strengthen our students and faculty. 16

17 Themes to Action Data Ownership & Really Big Data Multi-use Data Cross Disciplinary Collaboration Enabling broader base of researchers recosystem Mobility & Social Networking Real time Dynamic Data Image Data Citizen Scholar Bioinformatics resource pilot genomics colaboratory Fellowships for computer science, mathematics, statistical sciences in innovative areas Workshops to bring health system data to campus researchers RISP Board Incent preserved, sharable data with free storage Cross symposiums on image data Contests to facilitate mobility applications Campus network, computational, storage, workflow and apps store programs Speaker series 17
