The Clinical Center graduated 12 interns in June from the pilot NIH-Project SEARCH program, a 30-week unpaid internship in various departments to provide employment opportunities and experience for young adults with disabilities. The program earned the Clinical Center the 2011 Employer of the Year award from Maryland Works, Inc., and has since grown to place interns with other NIH institutes and centers.

Precision is the goal of
a new collaboration involving the Clinical Center, the National
Cancer Institute, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
The Center for Interventional Oncology will pull on the strengths
of each to investigate how imaging technology can diagnose and
treat localized cancers in ways that are precisely targeted and
minimally or non-invasive. Chief of the new Center for Interventional
Oncology, Dr. Bradford Wood, demonstrates image-guided tumor
ablation in a CC Radiology and Imaging Sciences suite.

BTRIS, the Biomedical Translational
Research System, was implemented in two phases in 2009. The July
launch of the NIH-wide intramural research data repository allowed
principal investigators to view identified data from their active
protocols. In December, intramural researchers were able
to access de-identified from clinical and research systems across
the intramural program. On hand to help launch BTRIS on July
30 were (from left) Elaine Ayres, deputy chief of the
CC Laboratory for Informatics Development (LID); Dr. Jack Jones,
NIH chief information officer; Dr. Jim Cimino, BTRIS project
director and chief of the CC Laboratory for Informatics Development;
and Dr. Michael Gottesman, NIH deputy director of intramural
research.
