About This Grant
<p>The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to develop, operate, and sustain a cloud-based data storage and computing platform that democratizes access to large-scale Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) genetic and genomic data. The platform must be secure, scalable, and interoperable. The platform will support the NIA Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS), the primary NIA-supported repository for the archiving and distribution of human genetic data related to AD/ADRD. The purpose of the platform will be to:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Enable efficient ingestion, curation, harmonization, and analysis of multi-ancestry, large population-scale datasets;</li><li>Provide robust analysis, visualization, and artificial intelligence -ready resources within secure cloud workspaces;</li><li>Ensure compliance with federal security and data-sharing policies;</li><li>Promote interoperability with other NIH- and NIA-supported repositories; and</li><li>Provide user support, training, and community engagement.</li></ul><p>The NOFO aims to foster collaboration, accelerate discovery, and maximize the scientific value and impact of AD/ADRD genetics research for the broader research community.</p><p>By improving data accessibility, interoperability, reporting, reproducibility, and scalable computational systems that enable rigorous, reproducible, and transparent research, the NOFO seeks to align with the <a href="https://www.nih.gov/sites/default/files/2025-08/2025-gss.pdf">NIH’s plan for Gold Standard Science</a> and the <a href="https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/milestones">AD/ADRD Research Implementation Milestones</a>.
