Partnership with Common Fund Data Ecosystem ResourcesThe NIH Office of Strategic Coordination through its Common Fund is seeking partnerships between Common Fund data programs and external biomedical data resources to improve the reusability and integration of Common Fund datasets within broader scientific ecosystems. The initiative aims to advance the FAIR principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—by fostering collaborations that bridge the Common Fund Data Ecosystem with other significant NIH data platforms such as the HEAL Data Ecosystem, BRAIN Initiative, Cancer Research Data Commons, ImmPort, TOPMed, and the Medical Imaging and Data Resource Center. These partnerships are intended to develop shared resources that enhance data connectivity, enable cross-platform analysis, and promote broader scientific utility of Common Fund data without supporting new clinical trials. The funding opportunity is open to non-CF biomedical data resources that can contribute infrastructure, tools, or expertise to amplify the impact of Common Fund datasets. Applicants must propose concrete plans for integration, interoperability, and sustainability of jointly developed resources. While no specific funding amount or deadline is indicated in the provided data, the solicitation was posted on August 6, 2026, and inquiries may be directed to the Common Fund Data Ecosystem Program via cfde@od.nih.gov. This effort reflects a strategic push by the NIH to unify diverse biomedical data ecosystems under common standards, enabling more comprehensive and efficient data-driven research across disciplines and institutions.

Transformative Technologies for Experimental and Computational RNome Characterization and Functional AnalysisThe NIH Common Fund, in collaboration with other NIH Institutes and Centers, is preparing to issue a funding opportunity for the Transformative Technologies for Experimental and Computational RNome Characterization and Functional Analysis initiative under the RNomics program. This initiative aims to develop high-risk, early-stage experimental and computational technologies that overcome major limitations in current RNA analysis methods, with a focus on sequencing RNA, detecting modifications, studying RNA function, and analyzing RNA across molecules, cells, and tissues. The program seeks innovations that have not yet been demonstrated at scale or in biologically relevant systems, prioritizing groundbreaking tools that can advance understanding of health and disease through integrated analysis of the entire RNome. This is a two-phase effort, where successful Phase 1 projects will be evaluated for transition to Phase 2, which is designed to deliver validated, widely usable tools for the scientific community. Applications are not currently being accepted; this notice serves as a forecast to allow potential applicants time to form collaborations and refine proposals. The initiative is part of a broader RNomics effort that includes technology enhancement centers, molecular standards, and a coordinating center, all aimed at establishing comprehensive RNA research capabilities. The funding opportunity will be administered by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, with a NAICS code of 541715 for research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. All inquiries should be directed to the Common Fund RNomics Program at cfrnomics@od.nih.gov, and further details can be found through the grants.gov listing. The forecast notice was posted on August 5, 2026, with no set-aside designation or specific place of performance indicated.
