acFadden, director of informatics technology at Harvard Medical School's Center for Biomedical Informatics and a development leader in the consortium. "Also, this will make it relatively easy for other institutions to develop their own resource inventories and upload that data into the network in the future." Indeed, at the end of the two-year project period, the eagle-i Consortium will turn the network over to NCRR and provide the processes, instructions, and materials necessary for other institutions to collect their own resource inventories and upload that data into the network.

Collectively, the nine consortium sites represent a full range of environments (urban, suburban, rural), geographies, levels of infrastructure, sizes, and racial/ethnic backgrounds. Each institution also already participates in at least one NCRR-funded program (i.e., BIRN, COBRE, CTSA, INBRE, NPRC, RCMI, RTRN).
