AMIA Clinical Research Informatics Activities

Clinical research is critical to the advancement of medical science, and conducting such research is a complex, information intensive endeavor. Informatics solutions have long been applied to the work of clinical research, and work at the interface of clinical research and biomedical informatics is proceeding at a rapid pace through various public and private efforts. A new sub-domain of biomedical informatics, clinical research informatics (CRI), has emerged at this interface.

In early 2007, the AMIA Board of Directors established the Clinical Research Informatics Steering Task Force to evaluate and chart the course by which AMIA can become the preferred professional home for CRI innovators, researchers and practitioners. In 2008, the task force has released two public reports on CRI activities. In early 2009, the task force completed a survey of anyone who is involved in Clinical Research Informatics. The results of the survey are being used to guide AMIA policy and program decisions.
