Feedback Sought on the Explorer User Interface for Accessing Integrated GTEx/HuBMAP Data . The GTEx and HuBMAP teams have mapped 16 GTEx tissue locations to the HuBMAP Common Coordinate Framework (CCF). These 16 three-dimensional tissue block locations can be explored via the HuBMAP Exploration User Interface that has been integrated into the GTEx Portal. The GTEx and HuBMAP teams have created this brief survey to get your feedback on this data integration, and what more you would like to see. Please take 5 min to provide your input via this short survey.
The NIH Common Fund is soliciting ideas for potential new scientific programs that may be supported in fiscal year 2025 or beyond. Anyone can submit an idea in response to this Request for Information that was recently published. The Common Fund supports bold scientific programs that catalyze discovery across all biomedical and behavioral research. These programs create a space where investigators and multiple NIH Institutes and Centers collaborate on innovative research expected to address high priority challenges for the NIH as a whole and make a broader impact in the scientific community.
