Why Scientists Participate in Internet2
    • Need for continually increasing bandwidth to support the increasingly finer resolution of data resources.
    • To address policy issues such as the security and privacy requirements that must be met for the use of information that originates with or about a patient.
    • To remove roadblocks as they confront the increasing need to collaborate across political (including state and federal government), academic, defense and security, and commercial boundaries.

NIH Roadmap: nihroadmap.nih.gov
  • What are today’s most pressing scientific challenges?
  • What are the roadblocks to progress and what must be done to overcome them?
  • Which efforts are beyond the mandate of one or a few…but are the responsibility of (NIH as) a whole?
