Purpose
This Notice informs potential applicants of the cancellation of the August 2, 2017 receipt date for RFA-HG-16-016, BD2K Open Educational Resources for Skills Development in Biomedical Big Data Science (R25). Additional applications to this FOA will not be accepted by BD2K in FY 2017.
The amount and diversity of data generated by NIH-funded research programs continues to grow rapidly, necessitating safe, scalable storage solutions, new analytic approaches, and an adaptable workforce. As this unprecedented revolution in biological information unfolds and NIH looks to the future of data science, it needs to ensure that researchers have the ability to make meaningful use of this increasingly massive biomedical data resource. It will be critical for NIH to identify and implement new strategies to improve data discoverability, utility, and sustainability, including moving many large data sets into the cloud and making them adherent to FAIR Principles Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Success in meeting this challenge will require a major infusion of resources.
Patricia Flatley Brennan, Director of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), in her role of interim Associate Director for Data Science, will work with all of NIH’s 27 Institutes and Centers to develop strategies to improve data discoverability, utility, and sustainability for the biomedical research community. Previously issued BD2K funding opportunities are being canceled so that new funding opportunities can be issued to support the implementation of the new strategies.
