U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), located on Fort Detrick, Maryland currently faces a critical capability shortfall with respect to its ability to manage information generated by increasingly advanced scientific instrumentation. The high content data generated by scientific studies, in combination with information assurance concerns that prevent networking of data-generated instrumentation, is preventing proper archiving and sharing of information. The impact on scientific productivity is direct and detrimental. This document outlines the requirements for a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), inclusive of technical, functional and regulatory compliance aspects. Additionally, project archetypes are used to demonstrates the potential utility of a LIMS system through illustration of the typical studies performed at USAMRIID, the inter-Divisional collaboration involved, and the exchange of information that is required.
