Aim1 focusesonaccurately capturing clinical and laboratory data, and then reproducibly processing them using robustwork?owtools.
This aim describesakey,foundationalfunctionthatiscriticalforthesuccessoftheCenter.
Aim2 focuseson dissemination of Center-generated resources according to FAIR principles - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable,andReusable.ThisworkwillensurethattheimpactofourCenterextendsbeyondourteam?s stated analysis plan, and it leverages our extensive work building tools for e?ective data and software dissemination.
Aim 3 focuses on directly engagingthecommunityincollaborationswithavarietyofgroups with complementary skills and assets. This work leverages the principlethatcollaborativeplatformsenable discoveries that would not be possible through individual investigations. Overall,webelievethatthisplanfortheDMBCo?ersabroadandsolidfoundationonwhichourCenter?sdata generation, data modeling, and biological discovery activities can build.
