Continued Development of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource Center (U2C Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program: Data Resource Development

The Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First) is launching a Limited Competition initiative focused on continued development of the Pediatric Data Resource Center. This effort targets the biology of childhood cancer and congenital anomalies, with emphasis on discovering shared genetic pathways between these disorders to illuminate disease mechanisms and enable targeted therapies. The initiative prioritizes expanding the existing data resource, implementing cloud-based computational analysis infrastructure, and lowering barriers to data use for researchers without extensive bioinformatics expertise. Successful applications will combine data resource management with training and dissemination capabilities, positioning the resource as an accessible platform for the pediatric research community.

• Who can apply: Investigators with expertise in data resource development, maintenance, and cloud-based computational analysis; collaborative teams combining data resource and training expertise are particularly encouraged. (Applications not yet solicited; this is advance notice.)

• Funding & project length: Not stated.

• Award mechanism: U2C activity code; Limited Competition (continued development phase).

• Key dates: NOFO publication pending; advance notice issued to allow collaboration development.

• Best fit for: Computational biologists, bioinformaticians, and pediatric researchers seeking to build accessible, cloud-enabled platforms for multi-institutional genomic and clinical data sharing in childhood disease research.
