National Institute of Health and National Science Foundation Program
to Create Tools for Collaborations that Involve Data Sharing
Letter of Intent due June 15, 2004
Applications due on July 15, 2004

The goal of the program is to develop collaborative tools and techniques to help store, document, access, and analyze large amounts of shared laboratory data. These tools will leverage existing biological/medical research by making raw data generated in a single laboratory more readily available to secondary researchers in other laboratories to use for additional discoveries.

The following Institutes of NIH and Divisions of NSF are participating in the request for applications:

• National Center for Research Resources
• National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering
• National Institute on Drug Abuse
• National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
• National Institute of Mental Health
• National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
• National Library of Medicine
• NSF Division of Chemistry
• NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure

ESRI's GIS portal and cataloging technology, combined with ESRI server solutions for distributing GIS applications and capabilities, address all of the characteristics defined in the grant, while adding a spatial component to data analysis and visualization.

Both not-for-profit and for-profit organizations, state, local government, and federal government and educational institutions are eligible to apply for this funding.

ESRI solutions for this grant and links to the full NIH grant notice are available through the ESRI Grant Program.
