Collaborations

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, because science is a team sport and we are tackling problems that are much bigger than any one organization.

Building the Data Ecosystem

We are working with various partner organizations to develop the infrastructure needed to realize the vision of a federated ecosystem outlined in Our Mission. Here are a few of the initiatives that we are participating in, which bring together partners from industry, academia and federal agencies.

Data Biosphere

DataBiosphere 1

The Data Biosphere collective aims to create a vibrant ecosystem of interoperable modules and data environments for the biomedical community, expressly designed to be modular, community-driven, open and standards-based.

Empowering scientific communities

Building infrastructure is only the first step toward realizing our vision. In order to drive meaningful change in the biomedical research world, we collaborate with funders, data generators, method developers and community leaders to support and empower researchers in key domains as they transition their work to this new ecosystem. Some of these collaborations are sponsored through large-scale initiatives that serve multiple consortia, while others are efforts centered around a specific consortium or research program.
