A central tenet of the STRIDES Initiative is that data made available through these partnerships will incorporate standards endorsed by the biomedical research community to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR).
“NIH has an ambitious vision of a modernized, FAIR biomedical data landscape,” said Susan K. Gregurick, Ph.D., Associate Director for Data Science and Director of the Office of Data Science Strategy at NIH. “By partnering with Microsoft Azure, which has over three decades of experience in the cloud space, we can strengthen NIH’s data ecosystem and accelerate data-driven research and discovery.”
