Administrative Supplements to Support Enhancement of Software Tools for Open Science | Data Science at NIH

"As part of their research projects, investigators often produce innovative, scientifically valuable software tools. Frequently, these valuable tools cannot be supported long-term or are developed under conditions that aren’t optimal for reuse. In an effort to address this, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS), along with other institutes and centers (ICs) at NIH, announced a renewal of the notice for administrative supplements to enhance software tool development for open science (NOT-OD-23-073) on March 7, 2023. These supplements will: support robustness, sustainability, and scalability of existing biomedical research software tools and workflows. invest in research software tools with recognized value in a scientific community to enhance their impact by leveraging best practices in software development and advances in cloud computing. support collaborations between biomedical scientists and software engineers to enhance the design, implementation, and “cloud-readiness” of research software...."
