Frontier Science & Technology Research Foundation, Inc. (FSTRF) is a non-profit research foundation that advanced the use of data management techniques in science. The foundation also develops and maintains laboratory informatics software systems.

History

FSTRF was founded in 1975 "to advance the application of statistical science and practice and data management techniques in science, health care, and education."[1]

In 2001, a subsidiary Frontier Science Scotland Ltd. was incorporated. Two other subsidiaries were created in Europe later that decade: Frontier Southern Europe in 2005 and Frontier Science Foundation - Hellas in 2007.[2]

Technology and products

LDMS and HAWS

LDMS is a laboratory information management system "used by clinics and laboratories around the world to manage specimen tracking, inventory storage, specimen shipment, and much more."[3] The software can be installed locally on Windows or used as a web-hosted application.[4]

HAWS (HIV Algorithm Workflow System) "is an application for managing the workflow and data capture processes associated with HIV studies."[5] The software integrates with LDMS.

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
