The NIH Common Fund issued two new notice of funding opportunity announcements from the Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE): OTA-23-004 and RFA-RM-23-002. The purpose of these funding announcements is to establish the CFDE Data Resource Center, Knowledge Center, and Integration and Coordination Center. These centers will provide technical and administrative coordination and support to enable broad use of the data sets and knowledge generated by Common Fund programs by establishing platforms to enhance use of Common Fund data sets and integrate knowledge networks.
Integration and Coordination Center for the Common Fund Data Ecosystem (U54 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) (RFA-RM-23-002): This funding opportunity seeks applications to establish an Integration and Coordination Center to support the CFDE. This center will liaise with Common Fund programs within CFDE, coordinate across other CFDE centers, develop data sustainability plans, and ensure continuous improvement through an annual evaluation program.
