What is the NIH Common Fund Venture Program?
SysBio
The Common Fund Systems Biology Data Platform (SysBio) Leveraging the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® (AMP®) Venture Initiative aims to integrate various data types that will allow researchers to explore the role of a specific gene, molecule, cell, or pathway across tissues involved in different diseases. Through the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® (AMP®), many NIH Institutes and Centers funded research that generated multifaceted data sets in a variety of chronic diseases distributed across multiple data platforms. The SysBio initiative will create a centralized portal and tools so that researchers can search for data across these platforms, empowering reuse and reanalysis of currently disconnected datasets. SysBio will integrate rich data types including phenotypic, clinical, molecular, and patient reported outcomes data. Using data sets from the AMP® programs, researchers can explore hypotheses across different tissues in different diseases and identify shared mechanisms within subsets of patients. This Venture Initiative will lay the groundwork for a future goal of expanding access and tools to include data from other cohorts outside of the AMP® programs.
