# dkNET Coordinating Unit: An information network for FAIR resources and data

> **NIH NIH U24** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO · 2022 · $750,000

## Abstract

Project Summary
As the NIDDK Information Network (dkNET) Coordinating Unit we must develop strategies to ensure that dkNET
continuously evolves to meet community needs. As the use of a wide-array of methods that generate large
amounts of complex data become more common in biomedical research, there is a growing need to develop an
interdisciplinary workforce that can use and further refine computational and statistical approaches to interrogate
this high-content data. The New Investigator Bioinformatics Pilot program will: (i) facilitate the ability of Early
Stage and New Principal Investigators with computational and bioinformatics expertise to pursue research
questions in Diabetes, Endocrinology or Metabolic Diseases, or (ii) allow Early Stage and New PIs currently
pursuing research in these NIDDK topic areas to explore incorporating computational, statistical, and/or
bioinformatics approaches into their research projects. The overall goal of this dkNET Pilot Award program is
to provide support for these early career investigators to obtain feasibility data in support of future grant
applications.
