BD2K aims to develop new approaches, standards, methods, tools, software, and competencies that will enhance the use of biomedical Big Data by supporting research, implementation, and training in data science and other relevant fields.

• Initial 7-year funding plan (thru FY2020)

• Begins in FY2014

• Funding: $27M in FY14, scaling to $100M per year in FY16 - 20

NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K)

1. Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative (BISTI)

• National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC)

• Broad-based FOAs (hardening of software, innovations in software, SBIR)
