OpportunityTitle: Pilot Projects Enhancing Utility and Usage of Common Fund Data Sets (R03 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Description: The Office of the NIH Director, Office of Strategic Coordination intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research incorporating the valuable and widely available data sets generated by multiple Common Fund programs, which will demonstrate and enhance the utility of selected Common Fund data sets, including generating hypotheses, catalyzing discoveries, and translation of data to impact human disease.The goals of this NOFO are to 1) promote the use of Common Fund data sets by supporting pilot studies based on analyses across two or more Common Fund data sets with a special category of MoTrPAC only focused projects; 2) enhance the utility of existing Common Fund data sets by developing workflows, analytic and simulation tools which will enable simultaneous analysis of multiple Common Fund data sets; and 3) demonstrate the added-value of integrating multiple Common Fund data resources in addressing biomedical research questions. Applicants are always welcome to include additional publicly available non-CF data sets. Up to 20% of the requested direct budget can be used for experimental approaches that further explore or validate findings generated by this application. This NOFO accepts different types of projects with the intent of generating preliminary and/or validation data for subsequent funding.
