NIH Request for Information (RFI)
The National Institute of Health (NIH) is an important ELIXIR stakeholder: we are keen to make sure that our respective efforts (in terms of research infrastructure) are coordinated across the Atlantic. The NIH is releasing the consultation - NIH Request for Information (RFI): Search Capabilities across the Biomedical Landscape for NIH-wide Data Discovery. ELIXIR is coordinating a response to this consultation and welcomes your input by 28 November 2021.
For questions, please contact Corinne Martin (corinne.martin@elixir-europe.org).
