  5. Common Practice • Technology and expertise exists at select centers • Researchers huddle together at those centers

  6. neuGRID Approach (1) • Expertise and technology available on-line • Computational analyses distributed on a grid

  7. neuGRID Use Case (1)

  8. neuGRID Use Case (2)

  9. neuGRID Approach (2) • Combination of LORIS & MammoGrid • Grid as the technological glue • I.e. « gridification » of the LORIS solution « à la » MammoGrid • Deploymentof the Solution in relevant major centres accross Europe LORIS neuGRID MammoGrid

SummaryneuGRID will be a user-friendly Grid-based research e-Infrastructure enabling the European neuroscience community to carry out imaging research on degenerative brain diseases. In neuGRID, the collection/archiving of large amounts of imaging data will be paired with computationally intensive data analysis tools (cortical thickness extraction). Networking activities Establishment of EU and international links. Development of ethical standards and privacy protection protocols. Establishment of a medical imaging database. Training courses and dissemination. Promotion of clustering and concertation actions amongst other related projects. Service activitiesneuGRID will result from merging two project infrastructures, a database service specific to neurodegenerative diseases providing data management and computationally intensive community services, and MammoGrid, providing a generic set of services optimizing and facilitating the use of a grid infrastructure. Joint Research ActivitiesneuGRID will implement the cortical extraction pipeline to run in the grid in order to produce results identical to a centralized system. neuGRID will be end-user transparent. The work plan is split into a set of three logical phases: (i) needs assessment, technical evaluation, planning, and implementation; (ii) performance evaluation; (iii) validation. User communitiesNeuroscientists working in the field of imaging of Alzheimer’s disease. Algorithm developers will have a powerful testbed as well as access to a large community of neuroscientists that might exploit their products. Pharma industry (surrogate outcomes for clinical trials) and non neuroscientific communities are prospective users. Action plan Phase 1 - Project Foundation by Month 12 Phase 2 - Project Deployment by Month 24 Phase 3 - Project Final Phases by Month 36 International issuesCollaborative arrangements include the European Alzheimer’s Disease Consortium (EADC), Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiatives (ADNI), the Montreal Neurological Institute, EC InnoMed/AddNeuroMed project, EC NeuroLog, EC NeuroGrid, the Alzheimer’s Association, the LoNI in Los Angeles, the FIL in London, the French IFRAD, the FMRIB in Oxford, and the EFNS. This project has received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n°211714
