At a glance
This program funds new computational methods, tools, and curated datasets that automate curation of biomedical research data and other digital assets at scale. It is open to a wide range of U.S. organizations, including nonprofits, universities, governments, small businesses, and other eligible entities, but foreign organizations and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. Awards are grants with budgets limited to $250,000 in direct costs per year, excluding consortium F&A costs, for up to 4 years, and the number of awards depends on NIH appropriations and meritorious applications. No cost sharing is required, and clinical trials are not allowed.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
NLM wishes to accelerate access to, and availability of, secure, complete datasets and computational models that can serve as the basis for transformative biomedical discoveries. Innovative at-scale computational approaches that increase the speed and scope of curation processes are needed for data mining and knowledge discovery from growing quantities of biomedical data being produced from ongoing data science advances.
