The NIGMS Sandbox, a cloud-based learning platform that teaches students, researchers, and clinicians how to harness cloud technology for life sciences applications and research, has been featured in a special supplement of Briefings in Bioinformatics.

UPDATE: The videofor this webinar is now available.

We’re pleased to announce the availability of administrative supplements to develop cloud-based biomedical data science training modules (NOT-GM-24-006). The supplements are available to NIGMS awardees of the following programs:

• Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Networks for Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE)
• Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH)
• NIGMS institutional training (T34, T32) grants
• Research education (R25) grants that support undergraduate, graduate student, or postdoctoral trainees

UPDATE: The video for this webinar is now available.

Cloud computing provides access to the exponentially growing volume of biomedical research data, data analytic tools, and data storage capacity. If you’re interested in learning cutting-edge biomedical research methods and/or carrying out your own research on the cloud, we welcome you to an upcoming webinar aimed to help you start or enrich your cloud-computing journey:

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve published two notices of special interest (NOSI) calling for applications to PAR-19-313, Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) Phase 1 (P20 Clinical Trial Optional), that focus on research on women’s health (NOT-GM-21-056) and data sciences (NOT-GM-21-062).

These NOSIs highlight the Office of Research on Women's Health's interest in supporting a meritorious application on women's health, and the Office of Data Science Strategy’s interest in supporting a meritorious application on data science relevant to biomedical research. Applications for these NOSIs must be submitted in response to and meet all eligibility criteria of PAR-19-313.
