Issued by
National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)

Purpose

This Notice is to alert investigators that applications for biomedical data repositories or knowledgebases submitted as R01s or R35s will no longer be considered for funding by NIGMS. NIH has published two new Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs): PAR-20-089 "Biomedical Data Repository (U24- Clinical Trials Not Allowed)" and PAR-20-097 "Biomedical Knowledgebase (U24 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)". As noted in these FOAs, data repositories and knowledgebases have distinct functions, metrics for success, and sustainability needs. In order to support these resources most effectively, NIGMS intends to fund them as cooperative agreement awards. NIGMS applications proposing a free-standing data repository or knowledgebase resource must therefore apply under PAR-20-089 or PAR-20-097.
