NIH Data Discovery Index Coordination Consortium Grant (U24) from the Department of Health and Human Services

The Department of Health and Human Services is offering a grant to establish a consortium for the development of an NIH Data Discovery Index (DDI) to facilitate the discovery, access, and citation of biomedical data. This grant aims to address the recommendation to ‘Promote Data Sharing Through Central and Federated Catalogues’ by creating a DDI Coordination Consortium (DDICC, U24). The grantee will conduct outreach, fund pilot projects, manage stakeholder communication, and coordinate Task Forces to study access, discoverability, and citation of biomedical data. The goal is to enhance the use of biomedical big data through the development and validation of an NIH DDI.

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to create a consortium to begin development of an NIH Data Discovery Index (DDI) to allow discovery, access, and citation of biomedical data. As part of the NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative, the DDI seeks to fulfill the recommendation from the Data and Informatics Working Group (DIWG) report to the Advisory Council of the Director (http://acd.od.nih.gov/06142012_DIWG_ExecSummary.pdf) to “Promote Data Sharing Through Central and Federated Catalogues.” The awardee in response to this FOA will constitute a DDI Coordination Consortium (DDICC, U24) to conduct outreach, fund small pilot projects, manage communication with stakeholders, constitute and coordinate Task Forces to study relevant questions related to access, discoverability, citation for all biomedical data and assure community engagement in the development, testing and validation of an NIH DDI. Part of this effort will be to assemble a user interface (website) through which the results of development and testing of models for an NIH DDI may be communicated. It is anticipated that a successful DDICC will work with the NIH to overcome obstacles in the way of better use and application of biomedical big data by developing a working concept for a DDI.
