What do we contribute – Core2
• Slicer Development– Slicer 2.x maintenance and training– Slicer 3 design and implementation
• “Application Focus” in Core 2– Communicate user needs to Cores 1 and
2– Slicer as testing ground for NA-MIC Kit
tools meant to be used in other applications
– Synergistic with Dissemination Role
National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org
What do we contribute – Core6
• Getting the “NA-MIC Message” to a broader community– Workshops– Collaborations– Publications
• Internal Dissemination– Helping the Alliance stay in sync

How do we fit with NA-MIC
• Many, Many ties with NA-MIC Participants– SPL: NAC, mBIRN, fBIRN, NCIGT, R01s…– Collaborations: UIowa (funded), Northwestern
(resubmission this round), Berkeley (1st submission this round), JHU (in planning stages)
– SBIR, DARPA, NSF and other cross-site activities
