The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is a medical research agency that is part of the US Department of Health and Human Services. Comprising 27 institutes and centres, the NIH makes and funds discoveries to improve health and save lives. The NIH aims to maximise the value of research data by encouraging data sharing, facilitating innovation of research tools and methods, increasing statistical power, and improving research quality through validation and replication.
The Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) will coordinate GA4GH activities across NIH. ODSS leads the implementation of the NIH's overall data science strategy in order to modernise the NIH data resource ecosystem.
