This $518,670 federal project grant awarded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846) will fund the transformation of the early-stage Musculoskeletal Knowledge Portal (MSKKP) into an established biomedical knowledgebase. The key products and services to be delivered include:

  1. Aggregating and integrating newly available 'omics datasets in bone, cartilage, tendon, synovial fluid, and muscle, as well as data from unique model organism knockouts, to enable broader sharing of genetic and genomic data related to musculoskeletal diseases and traits.

  2. Establishing a transparent governance structure and building a trusted, sustainable infrastructure for the MSKKP to ensure it is accessible to a broad array of users and conforms to FAIR principles. The project will engage the musculoskeletal research community throughout the development cycle.

The goal is to create an established knowledgebase that provides basic and clinical scientists ready access to musculoskeletal genetic and genomic data, as well as the tools needed to integrate and apply these data to their own research. This project aims to help unlock the potential of human genetics to advance the understanding and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.
