Abstract Keywords: Data-Driven Research and Discovery, Informatics Research/Biomedical Informatics Research Methods, Sustainable Research Data Infrastructure, Learning Healthcare System
Primary Track: Data Science/Artificial Intelligence
Programmatic Theme: Health Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Innovation: From Single-Center to Multi-Site

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recognized biomedical informatics (BMI) as a critical component of the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program within the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). To foster communities of scholarship and practice, the CTSA Program has sponsored multiple Enterprise Committee (ECs), including an Informatics Enterprise Committee (iEC) comprised of scientists and professionals providing BMI functions at CTSA hubs. In 2024, NIH guided BMI and Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) communities to align more closely to enable translational science through the CTSA Program. In this panel, informatics leaders from CTSA hubs will discuss the evolution of the iEC to become the Biostatistics, Biomedical Informatics, and Data Science (BIDS) EC.
