Grant Description

The purpose of this FOA is to invite applications for a Bioinformatics Center to join the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC; http://commonfund.nih.gov/MolecularTransducers). The overall goals of the Bioinformatics Center are to provide a database and associated tools for storage and integration of clinical physiological and metabolic data along with multiple types of chemical analysis data derived through metabolomics, proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics, or similar technologies. In addition, the Bioinformatics Center will coordinate implementation of data and ontology-based metadata standards, provide tools for analysis and visualization of data, provide rapid access to accumulated data and tools through the use of cloud-based computing, and conduct preliminary data analysis of the diverse datasets submitted by other MoTrPAC elements.
