The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $273,987 Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training) to Rtutor LLC (Orditus LLC) on July 15, 2024. The grant aims to fully develop a prototype of RTutor.AI, an AI-powered virtual assistant that enables researchers to analyze large biomedical datasets without coding expertise. The project will optimize the AI-based prompts for effective and robust code generation, upgrade to a more advanced language model (GPT-4), and enhance the user interface and functionalities. Comprehensive testing and documentation will assess the system's capabilities, limitations, and applicability across various bioinformatics tasks. Upon completion, the project will deliver an AI-powered statistical computing assistant that can be freely available to researchers worldwide, potentially accelerating scientific discovery and improving healthcare outcomes by enabling more researchers to gain insights from large datasets.
