NIH and the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology invite you to showcase the power of data reuse in advancing human health by better understanding the development and progression of diseases, such as cancer.

Through the “2024 Dataworks! Prize Challenge,” you and a team of fellow researchers can submit ideas for creative approaches to secondary analysis and data reuse that yield novel insights for the broader research community. 

Important details to consider:

• Each team must designate a team captain who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
• This two-phase challenge focuses on best practices in data reuse.
  • In the first phase, your team will submit a proposal for a project that can be completed in six months using data from the Generalist Repositories Ecosystem Initiative. NIH ODSS will award top proposals cash prizes of $25,000 each, with up to 10 winning teams selected.
  • If your proposal is selected, you’ll advance to the second phase, where you’ll receive funding to complete the project, with the chance to share your findings with a broader community. The grand prize is $100,000 for one winner, with up to two additional teams eligible for $75,000 each through Distinguished Achievement Awards.
