	Children's Pediatric Cardiology Collaboration with SCI/SPL/Northeastern Collaboration with John Triedman, Matt Jolley, Dana Brooks, SCI.
	U54EB005149-04S1 NA-MIC Collaboration with NITRC The NA-MIC Project is working to make NA-MIC neuroimaging software available through the NITRC web site. Supplemental support is helping to create the Slicer3 Loadable Modules project so that slicer plugins can be hosted on NITRC, allowing greater scalability for developers and users of Slicer.
	P41RR013218 NA-MIC Collaboration with NAC NAC, the neuroimage analysis center, is a national resource center. NAC is relying on the NA-MIC kit for its general software environment. The mission of NAC is to develop novel concepts for the analysis of images of the brain and develop and disseminate tools based on those concepts. Several ARRA-funded supplements to the NAC grant have close ties to related efforts in NA-MIC.
	U41RR019703 NA-MIC Collaboration with NCIGT NCIGT is leveraging the NA-MIC kit as a platform for developing dedicated IGT capabilities.

	NAMIC supports COPDGene® quantitative analysis The Genetic Epidemiology of COPD (COPDGene®) Study is one of the largest studies ever to investigate the underlying genetic factors of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD. Through the enrollment of over 10,000 individuals, the COPDGene® Study aims to find inherited or genetic factors that make some people more likely than others to develop COPD. With the use of CT scans, COPDGene® also seeks to better classify COPD and understand how the disease may differ from person to person.

A number of important and difficult scientific and engineering problems can only be addressed in the context of a multi-site consortium that aims to reproducibly quantify brain activity. Outcomes of fBIRN include quality assurance checks that have become industry standards, novel statistical approaches to identify and control for site-specific and scanner-specific biases, standardized stimulus paradigms, and fMRI informatics techniques for large scale datasets.
