Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 5 minutes per
response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection of
information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. Send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of
this collection of information, including suggestions
for reducing this burden to:
NIH, Project Clearance Branch, 6705 Rockledge
Drive, MSC 7974, Bethesda, MD 20892-7974, ATTN:
PRA (0925-0766).

Bioinformatics expertise within the NCI is
increasingly important to research and to the
advancement of science. In many cases, however,
individuals performing bioinformatics work are
isolated within small groups. This effectively creates
“information silos” that limit the collaborative nature
of scientific research and result in duplication of
effort.
We propose the formation of a "NCI Bioinformatics
Community” within the NCI Intramural Research
Program that can address these concerns and
