The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this grant to establish a Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) focusing on perturbagen-response data. This grant is for the crucial purpose of addressing Big Data challenges within two major NIH initiatives: Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) and the Library of Integrated Network-Based Cellular Signatures (LINCS). The successful DCIC will ensure consistent data and tool annotation within LINCS, integrate relevant non-LINCS perturbation data, and facilitate seamless exploration of LINCS outputs by biomedical researchers. Key functions include supporting linkages to external knowledge bases, providing training in perturbation-data science, building innovative access tools, and broadly disseminating these valuable resources to the scientific community.

| 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. |
