CFDE Funding Opportunities
NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) Cloud Workspace Implementation Center (OT2)– OTA-24-005
The CF is announcing a funding opportunity (OTA-24-005) to establish the Cloud Workspace Implementation Center (CWIC) for the Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE). The CWIC will create a synergistic cloud workspace that enables users to import their data and co-analyze them together with other Common Fund data sets. The cloud workspace will also enable the use of CFDE-constructed pipelines, workflows, and other analysis and visualization resources. It will meet the needs of both novice and expert users.
Applications are due April 22, 2024, by 5:00 PM local time of the applicant organization.
More information can be found on the Common Fund Data Ecosystem website. Email Dr. Anthony Kirilusha at anthony.kirilusha@nih.gov and CFDE@od.nih.gov with any additional questions.

NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) Training Center (OT2) – OTA-24-004
The CF is announcing a funding opportunity to establish the Training Center (TC) for the Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE). This center will be responsible for identifying and addressing the training opportunities and needs of the CFDE community. The TC team must effectively and productively collaborate with the CFDE investigators and the ecosystem's other components. The TC will promote the use and reuse of CF resources by creating and implementing activities addressing three target training-related functions: training and mentoring, coordination of CFDE training activities, and web infrastructure.
