OpportunityTitle: Development of Software for Data Science in Infectious and Immune-Mediated Diseases Research (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession.
Description: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications for the development of software to improve the acquisition, management, analysis, visualization, and dissemination of data and knowledge for data science research on infectious and immune-mediated diseases (IID). Relevant IID data science research comprises, but is not limited to, computational methods to better understand disease mechanism, risk prediction, epidemiology, detection and diagnosis, treatment, and vaccines, aligned with the research mission of NIAID. Development of software in various stages of maturity will be in scope for this FOA, ranging from early-stage prototyping to later-stage hardening. Early-stage prototyping will enable others to use new computational algorithms, tools, or technologies through easy-to-use software products while hardening of existing software could improve usability and enable a broader user base to use the software for their research. Regardless of the development stage, the proposed work should result in a software product that can be re-used by the IID research community and that can be easily discovered through FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) compliant metadata.
