Initiative overview
The Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) program has transitioned from Common Fund support. Common Fund programs are strategic investments that achieve a set of high-impact goals within a 5- to 10-year timeframe. At the conclusion of each program, deliverables transition to other sources of support or use within the scientific community. Please note that since the BD2K program is no longer supported by the Common Fund, the program website is being maintained as an archive and will not be updated on a regular basis.The initiative has the following objective(s):To facilitate data-driven discovery by improving our ability to harvest the wealth of information contained in biomedical big data.To develop and disseminate analysis methods and software.To enhance training relevant for large-scale data analysis.To support efforts toward making datasets FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).
