What it funds
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support a limited competition renewal of the Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL) program. AnVIL is a secure, cloud-based platform that enables researchers to access, share, and analyze large-scale genomic datasets without relying on local infrastructure. Currently, AnVIL hosts more than 5 petabytes of data from nearly 300,000 research participants, providing a robust environment for reproducible, cloud-native genomic research.The renewed program will continue to advance AnVIL as a community resource grounded in FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles. Key priorities include enhancing scalability; strengthening interoperability across a federated NIH data ecosystem; and maintaining rigorous security aligned with the Research Authentication Service (RAS) and NIH controlled-access data repositories and access management systems (CADR) requirements (see NOT‑OD‑25‑159). The renewal will also support integration of emerging data types and computational tools, including infrastructure for developing and running AI-based methods and complex analysis workflows.In addition to platform development, the program will expand training and outreach to help researchers effectively use AnVIL’s multimodal datasets and reproducible analysis capabilities. By connecting secure data access, analytical tools, and workforce development, the renewed AnVIL program aims to accelerate discovery across the research lifecycle and strengthen the genomics community’s capacity for clinical and translational science.This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop responsive applications.
