Resources for Researchers
SYNERGY supports Dartmouth researchers in all phases of clinical and translational research, from preclinical research in the basic and population sciences to development of clinical protocols to community practice-based research. A significant range of resources is available for planning and conducting research.
SYNERGY Dartmouth Profiles
Dartmouth Profiles is a research networking and expertise mining software tool. It not only shows traditional directory information, but also illustrates how each person is connected to others in the broad research community.
National Center for Population Health
Via Data Manager, the National Center for Population Health provides access to regional and national models and databases for measuring health outcomes, costs, patient goals, and patient experiences.
Clinical Research and Clinical Trials
SYNERGY's Clinical Trials Office provides a centralized infrastructure to enhance patient safety, promote quality research, ensure fiscal and regulatory compliance, and encourage clinical translation collaborations.
Grants and Contracts
Dartmouth's Office of Sponsored Projects serves as a central resource to support the research enterprise at Dartmouth by providing guidance and stewardship for the research community and the College.

SYNERGY Translational Technologies and Resources
SYNERGY Translational Technologies and Resources serve the needs of SYNERGY researchers, including specialized equipment and instrumentation, services, and centralized consultation to support the application of these Shared Resources to clinical and translational research. The Shared Resources provide:
- Easy and affordable access to technology that cannot be supported by individual labs
- Essential technical support for the operation and maintenance of specialized equipment
- Centralized expert consultation
- Personnel essential for fulfilling legal and regulatory compliance
- Administrative coordination for successful operation of resources
- Collaboration on publications
Translational Technologies and Resources are organized in two groups, or portals: those serving T1 research, and those serving T2-T3 research.

Resources and Consultation
SYNERGY Biomedical Informatics
The SYNERGY Biomedical Informatics Program was formed in 2010 to provide biomedical informatics service and support for clinical and translational research, including assistance with the SYNERGY web portal, the Epic EMR, the data warehouse, the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, the i2b2 data mart, Velos, and other functions such as data security and visualization.
The Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences (iQBS) was established in July of 2010 to develop, advance, and support interdisciplinary education, research, and infrastructure in the quantitative biomedical sciences, including bioengineering, bioinformatics, biophysics, biostatistics, computational biology, epidemiology, mathematical biology and related areas. As a partner to SYNERGY, iQBS will focus on important problems at the interface between informatics and clinical and translational sciences.
The Bioinformatics Shared Resource provides bioinformatics support and services to biomedical researchers in the Dartmouth community
DISCOVERY, the Dartmouth Initiative for SuperComputing Ventures in Education and Research, provides shared high-performance computing services with more than 1000 processors.
eagle-i Consortium Groundbreaking biomedical research requires access to cutting edge scientific resources, resources that in many cases are invisible beyond the laboratories or institutions where they were developed. The eagle-i Consortium, made up of nine member institutions, is conducting an experiment. Over the next two years, it will build a prototype of a national research resource discovery network – one that will help biomedical scientists search for and find previously invisible, but highly valuable, resources
Research Design
SYNERGY provides consultation and mentorship on Research Design, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Research Ethics to ensure that all SYNERGY clinical and translational scientists have access to comprehensive, expert design and analytical support. This support reflects state-of-the art practices in biostatistics, epidemiology, decision sciences, health services research, psychometrics, and health economics while incorporating emerging technologies and methodologies and addressing clinical research ethics.
Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries
The Biomedical Libraries provide access to journals, books, databases, and more, through local collections and links to resources far and wide. Librarians can search the literature for you, help you improve your own searching, provide you with copies of articles and other documents, and show you how to manage your documents and references.
- Schedule a research consultation
- Attend a workshop
- Ask for a search of the literature
- Ask for assistance
- Request copies of articles with DartDoc
Animal Resource Center
The Animal Resource Center (ARC) provides high-quality, cost-effective husbandry, administrative and technical support for animal care and use, in full compliance with regulations and standards, to facilitate animal well-being for research and teaching at Dartmouth.
