The NIA Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS)

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the development, operation, and sustainment of a cloud-based data storage and computing platform for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias genetic and genomic data. The platform must be secure, scalable, and interoperable, and will support the NIA Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS). The purpose of the platform is to enable efficient data ingestion, curation, and analysis, provide robust analysis and visualization resources, ensure compliance with federal security and data-sharing policies, promote interoperability with other NIH- and NIA-supported repositories, and provide user support and community engagement. Key features of the opportunity include: • Enable efficient ingestion, curation, harmonization, and analysis of multi-ancestry, large population-scale datasets • Provide robust analysis, visualization, and artificial intelligence-ready resources within secure cloud workspaces • Ensure compliance with federal security and data-sharing policies • Promote interoperability with other NIH- and NIA-supported repositories • Provide user support, training, and community engagement
