About this opportunity

The Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) along with other NIH Institutes and Centers NEI, NHLBI, NHGRI, NIA, NIAAA, NIAMS, NIBIB, NICHD, NIDCD, NIDCR, NIDDK, NIDA, NIEHS, NIMH, NINDS, NIMHD, NLM, NCCIH, and NCI intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for renewal of the funding opportunity for Building Sustainable Software Tools for Open Science (RFA-OD-24-010). This funding opportunity is intended to provide a flexible mechanism to support the use of best practices and design principles for scientific software development/engineering and to promote community engagement for open science. Successful grants will enable and/or enhance biomedical, clinical, behavioral, social, and health-related research endeavors by (1) developing robust, sustainable, scalable, and reproducible research software tools and workflows, (2) extending the impact of research software by broader dissemination to the scientific community, (3) supporting collaborations between scientists and software engineers to leverage modern, best practices in research software development, and (4) enhancing software skills of the research workforce. This initiative is aligned with the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science , which describes actions aimed at building a better data infrastructure and a modernized data ecosystem. No applications are being solicited at this time. Given the early expiration of RFA-OD-24-010, this notice will allow for potential applicants the opportunity to continue developing high-impact research software projects. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of research software development are encouraged to consider applying for this new NOFO that will use the R03 activity code.
