These NIH Exploratory (R21) grant funding opportunities may be applicable to research using BioLINCC resources. For NHLBI research investigators who need to find, access, share, store, cross-link, and compute on large-scale datasets, NHLBI BioData Catalyst will serve as a cloud-based platform providing tools, applications, and workflows to enable these capabilities in secure workspaces. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has developed a data-sharing protocol focused on balancing the interests of study participants, study investigators, and the research community with independent oversight by the NHLBI IRB. Therefore, in general a PI or Institution cannot opt out of having their study’s data in BioData Catalyst. A report on genomic data sharing through dbGaP under the GWAS policy appears in the Aug. 27, 2014, advance online issue of Nature Genetics.
