The aim of the CardioVascular Research Grid (CVRG) project is to create an infrastructure for sharing cardiovascular data and data analysis tools. The CVRG will support national and international multi-institutional collaborations in cardiovascular science, and will build on and extend tools developed in the caBIG and BIRN projects. The CVRG project is supported by the National Heart Lung & Blood Institute. The project is based at the Institute for Computational Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, in collaboration with the Center for Comprehensive Informatics at Emory University.

CardioVascular Research Grid partners with BIRN

October 7, 2009

The CardioVascular Research Grid (CVRG) and Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) are partnering to create an infrastructure for sharing cardiovascular data and data analysis tools, both organizations announced today.

The relationship will help CVRG, an $8.5 million (federal funding), digital network, to fulfill its mission of creating a software grid through which researchers worldwide can easily exchange data, images and expertise on heart-related illnesses. Based at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, the CVRG aims to use digital tools to find new ways to prevent, detect and treat life-threatening cardiac ailments.
