Abstract

Funded by the NIH Blueprint, NITRC is built and operated by TCG in collaboration with David Kennedy Consulting, Neuromorphometrics, and UCSD's CRBS. Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC) is a user-friendly knowledge environment for the neuroscience community. Continuing to identify software tools and resources (540+), NITRC Resources (NITRC-R) supports researchers dedicated to enhancing, adopting, distributing, and contributing to the evolution of neuroinformatics tools and resources in the domains of MR, PET/SPECT, CT, EEG/MEG, optical imaging, clinical neuroinformatics and imaging genomics. NITRC’s Image Repository (NITRC-IR), built on XNAT, provides a sharing infrastructure for images and related data. Leveraging NeuroDebian, NITRC produced and released the Computational Environment (NITRC-CE) via Amazon’s AWS Marketplace. NITRC-CE is an on-demand, cloud based computational virtual machine pre-installed with popular NITRC neuroimaging tools. NITRC-R averages monthly 18,500 visits and 70,250 pageviews. NITRC-IR offers 7 projects, 3,732 subjects, and 3,747 imaging sessions to promote re-use and integration of these valuable shared data. NITRC-CE provides simplified deployment of cloud-based computation that supports FreeSurfer, FSL, AFNI and many other software resources. NITRC has established itself as a key resource for the advancement of neuroimaging research.
