AI Contract Overview
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) and multiple Institutes and Centers, plans to release a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the renewal of the Building Sustainable Software Tools for Open Science program (RFA-OD-24-010). This initiative aims to support the development and widespread adoption of high-quality scientific software that advances biomedical, clinical, behavioral, social, and health-related research. The program focuses on creating robust, scalable, and reproducible research software, broadening its dissemination within the scientific community, fostering collaboration between scientists and software engineers, and enhancing software development skills among researchers. This effort aligns with the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science, which emphasizes building a modern data infrastructure and ecosystem. Although applications are not currently being solicited, this forthcoming funding opportunity will use the R03 activity code and provide a flexible mechanism for applicants to develop impactful research software projects. The initiative encourages investigators with relevant expertise to consider applying once the NOFO is released. The program does not allow clinical trials and is designed to bolster the software tools that support open science in various research domains. Questions or communications about the opportunity can be directed to the Office of Data Science Strategy at NIH via the provided contact email.

Full Description
The Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) along with other NIH Institutes and Centers NEI, NHLBI, NHGRI, NIA, NIAAA, NIAMS, NIBIB, NICHD, NIDCD, NIDCR, NIDDK, NIDA, NIEHS, NIMH, NINDS, NIMHD, NLM, NCCIH, and NCI intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for renewal of the funding opportunity for Building Sustainable Software Tools for Open Science (RFA-OD-24-010).
This funding opportunity is intended to provide a flexible mechanism to support the use of best practices and design principles for scientific software development/engineering and to promote community engagement for open science. Successful grants will enable and/or enhance biomedical, clinical, behavioral, social, and health-related research endeavors by (1) developing robust, sustainable, scalable, and reproducible research software tools and workflows, (2) extending the impact of research software by broader dissemination to the scientific community, (3) supporting collaborations between scientists and software engineers to leverage modern, best practices in research software development, and (4) enhancing software skills of the research workforce. This initiative is aligned with the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science, which describes actions aimed at building a better data infrastructure and a modernized data ecosystem.
No applications are being solicited at this time. Given the early expiration of RFA-OD-24-010, this notice will allow for potential applicants the opportunity to continue developing high-impact research software projects. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of research software development are encouraged to consider applying for this new NOFO that will use the R03 activity code.
