Background
The updated Strategic Plan for Data Science sets a bold vision for the future, one in which data generated in the course of care of individuals and data generated from biomedical and basic research become powerful inputs that enhance our understanding of fundamental biology and enables the development of new clinical treatments and diagnostic technologies. This updated plan builds on accomplishments from the initial NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science and will prepare NIH to face the acceleration of sophisticated new technologies and address the rapid rise in the quantity and diversity of data. The updated Strategic Plan supports the NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing and embraces data-driven discovery as a powerful tool to elucidate biological processes and, better characterize the health and health consequences of all people. This plan also fosters ethical use of new methodologies arising from artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
The updated Strategic Plan will accomplish five overarching goals:
Goal 1: Improve Capabilities to Sustain the NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing
Goal 2: Develop Programs to Enhance Human Derived Data for Research
Goal 3: Provide New Opportunities in Software, Computational Methods, and Artificial Intelligence
Goal 4: Support for a Federated Biomedical Research Data Infrastructure
Goal 5: Strengthen a Broad Community in Data Science
