Biomedical Data Translator: Technical Feasibility Assessment and Architecture Design Projects (OT3)
https://ncats.nih.gov/files/NCATS-Translator-FY16-FOA.pdf
As the first activity of the Biomedical Data Translator Program, NCATS is using its Other Transactions authority to invite interested applicants to submit innovative proposals for addressing the architecture needs to build a biomedical data "Translator" and to assess its technical feasibility. Successful applicants will not only contribute their expertise and resources but also must be willing to collaborate to revolutionize translational science and propel new discoveries and best practices for practitioners across the translational spectrum, from biologists to chemists to computer scientists, from scientists doing target validation to clinicians seeing patients.
