BD2K aims to develop new approaches, standards, methods, tools, software, and competencies that will enhance the use of biomedical Big Data by supporting research, implementation, and training in data science and other relevant fields.
• Initial 7-year funding plan (thru FY2020)
• Begins in FY2014
• Funding: $27M in FY14, scaling to $100M per year in FY16 - 20

2. Developing and Disseminating Analysis Methods and Software for Biomedical Big Data
• Software Catalog• Platforms for Data Analysis
3. Enhancing Training for Biomedical Big Data• Biologists or clinicians to cross-train in the
quantitative sciences• Quantitative scientists to cross-train in
clinical/biological domains4. Establishing Centers of Excellence for Biomedical Big
Data• FOA (RFA-HG-13-009): Centers of Excellence
