In addition to [[caGrid]], the underlying infrastructure for data sharing among organizations, caBIG developed software tools, data sharing policies, and common standards and vocabularies to facilitate data sharing. Many cancer researchers (2,000+ participants representing 700 organizations) are currently trialing caBIG.
The associated software tools targeted:

*collection, analysis, and management of basic research data
*clinical trials management, from patient enrollment to adverse event reporting and analysis
*collection, annotation, sharing, and storage of medical imaging data
*biospecimen management
