About this opportunity

The National Institutes of Health is forecasting grant support for the Data Sharing for Demographic Research Infrastructure Program to continue operations of a repository serving the Population Dynamics Branch and other NICHD extramural components, with no application deadline specified in this forecast posting.

Eligible applicants include public or Indian housing authorities, special district governments, higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, tribal organizations (federally and non-federally recognized), small businesses, independent school districts, county and city/township governments, for-profit organizations, Indian/Native American tribal governments other than federally recognized, eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and non-domestic entities.

The repository currently houses over 3,000 datasets containing more than 1.5 million variables and provides archiving, curation, and dissemination services beyond those required by NIH data sharing policy. It uniquely serves qualitative studies, unstructured data sources, and studies of sensitive topics not accommodated by other NICHD-funded repositories such as DASH. The grantee must annually process 20 to 40 new and updated datasets; disseminate 135 datasets and documentation; review and oversee 30 data use agreements; facilitate 700,000 or more downloads of data and resources; maintain a guide to NICHD Population Dynamics Branch archived data including data archived elsewhere; and provide technical assistance to 1,500 to 2,000 users. The grantee must also provide resources to researchers on best practices for archiving data, including guidance on sharing qualitative and sensitive data.

The opportunity is assigned to CFDA 93.865, Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research.

Forecast synopsis

This initiative will continue supporting a repository for datasets produced through support from the Population Dynamics Branch (PDB) and other components of NICHD's Division of Extramural Research. DSDR is widely used by NICHD grantees; complies with NIH data sharing requirements; is listed in the NLM Open Domain-Specific Data Sharing Repositories; and holds more than 3,000 datasets containing over 1.5 million variables. It provides archiving, curation, and dissemination services that are not available through other repositories used by NICHD-funded researchers, such as the NICHD Data and Specimen Hub (DASH), and offers data archiving and dissemination services beyond the those required by NIH data sharing policy. This repository houses unique data from qualitative studies, unstructured data sources, and studies of sensitive topics. The grantee will be expected to provide resources to researchers on best practices for archiving data, including information about sharing qualitative and other sensitive data. Annually, DSDR will be required to process 20-40 new and updated datasets; disseminate 135 datasets and their documentation; review and oversee 30 data use agreements; facilitate 700,000 or more downloads of data, documentation, and other resources; maintain a guide to NICHD PDB archived data including data archived elsewhere; and provide technical assistance to 1,500-2,000 users.
