• As part of the CTSA Consortium we are encouraged to provide VIVO technology for building collaborations across CTSAs

• VIVO is an open-source, semantic application originally developed and implemented at Cornell

• VIVO facilitates discovery of researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments which enables networking capability for scientific researchers across disciplines.

• Profiles is a research networking and expertise mining software tool that has VIVO technology

• Creating a Profile is FREE to you!

• Three types of information are displayed on your Profile (managed descriptions, passive networks, and active networks)

• Managed Descriptions include:– Typical demographic information– Automatic PubMed search preloads publications– Manual revisions can be made to publications– Add Award Information about yourself– Add a narrative or photo of yourself

Passive networks can not be edited by you– When common traits are shared by faculty a

linkage is made by the software• Same department, building, co-author on publication,

or used the same MeSH keywords in a publication

Active networks can be edited by you– Network is defined by faculty member• Search Profiles for faculty to select as a collaborator,

advisor, or advisee
