All applications to this funding opportunity announcement should fall within the mission of the Institutes/Centers. The following NIH Offices may co-fund applications assigned to those Institutes/Centers.

Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS)

Purpose

The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to inform potential applicants of the National Institutes of Health’s interest in supporting data sciences research in Institutional Development Award (IDeA)-eligible states through PAR-19-313 "Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) Phase 1 (P20 Clinical Trial Optional)."

Research Objectives

The complexity and volume of basic, translational, and clinical research data continue to increase rapidly. To take full advantage of these data, it is critically important to foster innovative approaches to work with large research datasets and to develop a talented and diverse data science workforce. The NIH Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS), which leads the implementation of the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science through collaborations with NIH institutes, centers, and offices, intends to support one COBRE award to advance data science in IDeA states through this funding opportunity announcement, in addition to NIGMS' funding of meritorious COBRE phase I applications aimed at advancing data science.

Applications aimed at building research capacity in a broad range of data science areas including machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence and virtual reality technologies, are welcome. Applications that will build capacity in multiple areas of data science, rather than a small number of narrowly focused areas, will be a priority for funding. The proposed center must address one or more of the five overarching goals of the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science and adhere to the principles of making biomedical research data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR).

Application and Submission Information

This Notice applies to the January 27, 2022 due date.
