The CCID network server handles the Center’s administrative and research needs. The file structure for the network is managed by the network administrator. Security is defined at the project level. The network administrator sets up new project folders and security as defined by the principal investigator. A summary of the server organization is as follows:
1.Shared subdirectory: This subdirectory is available to all participants. It contains items such as:
1.1 An administrative directory for center letterheads and contact information for investigators (telephone, email, etc.)
1.2 Journal club manuscripts, etc.
1.3 Workgroup meeting minutes, etc.
1.4 Calendars for events and workroom schedules
2. Private subdirectories – This space would provide individuals with personal space on the server for data storage, analyses, manuscript preparation, etc. Using server space for personal work would ensure daily backups. Only the individual would have access to this space.
3. Joint-use subdirectories– Joint space could be allocated for pairs or small groups of investigators per need to share workspace for proposal and manuscript preparation, joint projects, etc.
4. Administrative Area – used for Center management
5. Project subdirectories - Each research project would be organized to document activities, results, and manuscripts. Each project would house a master database and all pertinent documentation for data collection, management, and manipulation
6. Project Components on the Server The project component of the server will ensure that a record of all work done on any project is adequately documented. Each research project would be required to prepare, manage, and maintain the following information:
