Limited Competition: The NHGRI Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL)

Funds one renewed operator for AnVIL, the cloud platform holding more than 5 petabytes of genomic data for reproducible research.

Genomic research increasingly runs on data sets too large to move, let alone store locally. This notice renews the platform built so that stops mattering.

AnVIL — the Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space — is a secure, cloud-based platform letting researchers access, share and analyse large-scale genomic data sets without their own infrastructure. It already holds more than 5 petaby

A limited-competition renewal of a single, secure cloud-based platform for accessing, sharing and analysing large-scale genomic data sets, prioritising scalability, federated interoperability, security aligned with NIH's controlled-access data requirements, integration of AI-based analysis infrastructure, and researcher training. Clinical trials are not accepted.
