The purpose of this BD2K Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit development of software tools and methods in the three topic areas of Data Privacy, Data Repurposing, and Applying Metadata, all as part of the overall BD2K initiative. While this FOA is intended to foster new development, submissions consisting of significant adaptations of existing methods and software are also invited.
The instructions say to submit early so that corrections to your application can be suggested. (Take the advice.)
Topic maps, particularly with customized subject identity rules, are a nice fit to the detailed requirements you will find at the grant site.
Ping me if you are interested in discussing why you should include topic maps in your application.
