The BioCoRE
project entails the development of an integrated, tool-oriented
computing and communication environment, BioCoRE, to support
distributed computing and collaboration in the field of structural
biology.
Joining BioCoRE/Creating a New Account
If you would like to experience the BioCoRE environment, use the column
on the left side of this page to either login or create a new BioCoRE
account.
If you are wanting to download a server and install it at your own
site, you can go to our
Local Server page.
Before entering the collaboratory environment new users are asked to
'sign' a consent form,
review the BioCoRE user agreement
and bylaws, and to
complete a registration
form that will yield a basic profile of our user population.

BioCoRE Evaluation
To ensure the effectiveness of this endeavor and to comply with our
sponsoring agency (NIH) we include in the BioCoRE environment a
built-in evaluation component that will enable an ongoing assessment of
the BioCoRE development process and the efficacy of the resulting
environment.
The evaluation will integrate users' feedback immediately into the
development process and will rely on data generated by interviews,
surveys, monitoring of usage patterns, and more . These means will
permit the evaluation team to observe closely and assess
comprehensively the use and outcome of the collaboratory tools
throughout the funding period. During the test bed period (initial four
years), all BioCoRE members/users, regardless of their role on the
project, are being asked to authorize informed consent forms allowing
the evaluation team to observe, record, analyze and publish findings.
