What the grant funds
The Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) along with other participating institutes and Centers intends to renew the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) PAR-23-237. This funding opportunity is intended to provide continuation to support established biomedical data repositories and knowledge bases as distinct and separate resources that have demonstrated impact and have potential for continued benefit to the community served. Applications funded under this NOFO for established data resources must already exist, address the needs of the targeted biomedical research community, document scientific impact they have had thus far, and have potential for continued benefit to the community served. No applications are being solicited at this time. Given the expiration of PAR-23-237, this notice will allow for potential applicants the opportunity to continue developing high-impact applications to renew funding support for existing high-performing data repositories and knowledge bases.
