New Funding Opportunity: NHLBI Big Data Analysis Challenge
Posted on March 24, 2020
The NHLBI is inviting novel Solutions for the NHLBI Big Data Analysis Challenge: Creating New Paradigms for Heart Failure Research. The goal of the challenge is to foster innovation in computational analysis and machine learning approaches utilizing large-scale NHLBI-funded datasets to identify new paradigms in heart failure research. The challenge aims to address the need for new open source disease models that can define sub-categorizations of adult heart failure to serve as a springboard for new research hypotheses and tool development in areas of heart failure research from basic to clinical settings.
NHLBI will award up to a total of $250,000. Up to five (5) winners will be selected, with each winning up to $50,000. The competition period ends at NOON EDT on August 28, 2020.
