2 months ago Many CFDE Members joined us for our Cloud Workspace Pilot breakout session at the All-Hands Meeting in Bethesda. Please check out details about the CWP session along with links to the posters we presented at https://kids-first.github.io/cloud-workspace-partnership-pilot/ and find more information at the CWP website: https://github.com/kids-first/cloud-workspace-partnership-pilot. We would be happy to answer any questions about how to get started on CAVATICA or how to apply for the $1,000 (leading to $5000) in funding for the CWP. Please also let us know how we can improve for the next workshop. Please reach out to the CWP team by email or on CFDE Slack for assistance: Surya Saha, Eric Wenger, Sangeeta Shukla, Eric Tobin
SPARC will be in attendance at the 11th Annual Minnesota Neuromodulation Symposium on April 10-12, 2024 in Minneapolis, MN and we’re hoping to see you there. Organized by the Institute for Engineering in Medicine (IEM) and MnDRIVE Brain Conditions, this symposium is aimed at bringing together basic scientists, engineers, clinicians, industrial practitioners and entrepreneurs to discuss challenges and opportunities in neuromodulation. The symposium will consist of plenary presentations by leaders in academia, industry and government, and poster presentations to exchange ideas in this exciting field. The symposium, which is part of IEM Innovation Week, will be held immediately following the Design of Medical Devices Conference.

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.
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.
Applications are due April 22, 2024, by 5:00 PM local time of the applicant organization.
