Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Researchers and clinicians at INBRE network institutions who work with large biological or clinical data sets and need advanced analytics support.
✕Less likely to help
Patients are not directly enrolled in this core; benefits are through improved research capabilities and downstream discoveries.
What this research studies
This grant funds a Data Science Core that combines cyberinfrastructure, consulting in bioinformatics and biostatistics, and hands-on data science training for INBRE-supported projects. It leverages facilities at UI, ISU, and BSU to support computationally intensive research, with specialized cores for genomics, proteomics, imaging, and data services. The goal is to enable researchers at partner institutions to analyze large datasets and advance biomedical work through shared resources and expert guidance.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could benefit indirectly through faster, more rigorous analysis of biomedical data leading to new insights and therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Previous use of the core has shown high engagement (>3,600 uses) and increased cross-institutional collaboration.
