The National Institutes of Health is offering a grant to establish a Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) to manage perturbagen-response data and signatures for the BD2K and LINCS initiatives. The grant aims to ensure consistent annotation of data, incorporate non-LINCS perturbation data, support data integration, provide training in perturbation-data science skills, and disseminate tools to biomedical researchers. This opportunity aligns with the NIH’s efforts to address challenges in utilizing biomedical Big Data and supports the integration of diverse data types for seamless exploration and knowledge dissemination. Applicants should consider related FOAs such as RFA-RM-13-013 and RFA-HG-13-009 focusing on LINCS data generation and BD2K Centers of Excellence.

| Description:: | This FOA seeks applications to develop a data coordination and integration center (DCIC) that will address the opportunities and challenges provided by two major NIH efforts: Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) and the Library of Integrated Network-Based Cellular Signatures (LINCS). The NIH expects that this BD2K-LINCS DCIC will focus on perturbagen-response data and signatures while ensuring that the resulting resources are effectively utilized by the community by addressing challenges related to biomedical Big Data. A successful DCIC will ensure consistent annotation of data and tools generated within the LINCS program; incorporate (without replicating databases) relevant non-LINCS perturbation data into the LINCS resource; support integration of relevant data, signatures, and tools to allow for seamless exploration of the (LINCS) programs output by a broad range of biomedical researchers; support linkages to outside knowledge bases, data portals, and resources; support training in perturbation-data science skills; build innovative access and query tools to disparate databases hosting multiple data types; and disseminate the resulting tools and resources to the broad range of biomedical researchers. Related FOAs of relevance to the DCIC include RFA-RM-13-013 soliciting applications for LINCS data and signature generation and RFA-HG-13-009 soliciting applications for BD2K Centers of Excellence. |
