This includes ensuring information technology infrastructure, tools, and applications fully and comprehensively support the NIAID mission. The Clinical Informatics Branch within the OCICB provides specialized support to facilitate the integration of IT and clinical expertise to support NIAID�s research mission. The branch specializes in leveraging expertise to manage the implementation and configuration of industry standard research management tools. In addition, the International Biomedical Research Support Program within the branch focuses on providing information technology and communication systems support for biomedical research at various national and international medical research facilities. DFdiscover is a Clinical Data Management System that is used by OCICB and NIH lab partners to support clinical trials and studies globally for International collaborative research protocols. The Office of Cyber Infrastructure and Computational Biology (OCICB), International Biomedical Research Support Program (IBRSP) within the Clinical Informatics Branch (CIB) is requesting to renew and decrease the DFdiscover software license agreements starting May 1, 2025.
