Current funding for the Gi21 program ended on September 30, 2008 and the information found in the program modules is up-to-date as of December 31, 2008.  To facilitate use of the modules from now till the future continuation of the program, new documents can be posted from each module and sub-module main pages and the community discussions are open.  However the main module pages and documents will not be updated.  If you have any questions, please contact Kirsten Clark.

The science of medicine falls into two general categories, preclinical research and clinical research.  Research that is designed to increase knowledge for the development of new treatments is classified as preclinical.  Research that evaluates the safety and efficacy of new treatments is considered clinical research.  Funding for a large portion of medical research comes from the U.S. federal government via the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and information gleaned from this research is collected by the National Library of Medicine (NLM).  However, a number of other federal agencies also participate in medical research.

Key Resources

  • PubMed - "PubMed provides access to citations from biomedical literature including MEDLINE, as well as:
    • The out-of-scope citations (e.g., articles on plate tectonics or astrophysics) from certain MEDLINE journals, primarily general science and chemistry journals, for which the life sciences articles are indexed for MEDLINE.
    • Citations that precede the date that a journal was selected for MEDLINE indexing.
    • Some additional life science journals that submit full text to PubMedCentral and receive a qualitative review by NLM."
    • Some reports and articles available in full text. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez
  • National Center for Biotechnology Informaition (NCBI) Entrez, The Life Sciences Search Engine - Provides access to a cross-database search page for many biological and medical databases. One can search across all databases or select a specific database or website to search. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/gquery
  • CRISP (Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) - "A searchable database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other research institutions... Users, including the public, can use the CRISP interface to search for scientific concepts, emerging trends and techniques, or identify specific projects and/or investigators." http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/
  • Human Genome Resources - "NCBI's Web site serves an an integrated, one-stop, genomic information infrastructure for biomedical researchers from around the world so that they may use these data in their research efforts." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/guide/human/
  • ToxSeek – "A meta-search engine that enables simultaneous searching of many different information resources on the World Wide Web. The ToxSeek user interface allows selection of resources from a wide range of authoritative resources." http://toxseek.nlm.nih.gov/toxseek/
  • Science.gov - Search engine providing single search access to over 50 million pages of government science and reseach results. Many results are available in full text. Site is maintained by the Science.gov Alliance, a group of STI government agencies. http://science.gov
  • U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) - Electronic Reading Room - "The mission of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is to enable the nation to safely use radioactive materials for beneficial civilian purposes while ensuring that people and the environment are protected. The NRC regulates commercial nuclear power plants and other uses of nuclear materials, such as in nuclear medicine, through licensing, inspection and enforcement of its requirements.. The Electronic Reading Room website contains information and the documents that are most pertinent to NRC regulatory activities. Many of the documents are in Basic References or Document Collections sections of the website. The rest are available either from our record retrieval system, ADAMS, or from our Public Document Room found on the website as well." http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html

  • Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) - Provides centralized access to all of Department of Defense's scientific and technical information on DoD's multidisciplinary research, development, engineering, and studies programs. Some reports available in full text.
