NIH’s Data Commons Pilot project seeks to break down barriers in biomedical research

"Breaking down research barriers is the goal of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) $95.5 million Data Commons Pilot project. In late 2017, NIH issued 10 awards to launch the pilot phase. Participants will soon begin plotting a course to an open environment where researchers can share and contribute their data, their code, their metadata, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way—all on the same platform."
