Computational Approaches to Curation at Scale for Biomedical Research Assets

Funds computational methods that curate biomedical data at scale, so datasets and models become usable faster than hand-curation allows.

OpenNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

Biomedical data is produced far faster than anyone can clean, label and connect it. Curation is the bottleneck, and it is still largely done by hand. The National Library of Medicine funds the attempt to automate it.

What the library wants is faster access to secure, complete datasets and computational models that can serve as the basis for biomedical discovery. Complete is the operative word — a…

Innovative at-scale computational approaches that increase the speed and scope of curation processes for biomedical research assets, producing secure and complete datasets and computational models to support data mining and knowledge discovery. Clinical trials are not allowed.
