Description
The NIH Common Fund Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet) supports a Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) as a core component of Stage 2. The center will enable timely, high-quality submission, harmonization, integration, and broad dissemination of SenNet-generated data and associated resources. Its work includes developing and implementing consortium-wide policies, standards, and workflows for data formats, metadata, quality control, and release.
The DCIC will maintain and enhance SenNet’s data infrastructure, including its portal and associated tools, to support data discovery, access, analysis, visualization, and reuse. It will integrate Stage 1 and Stage 2 outputs to support atlasing and cross-study comparability. Applications should also propose goals and aims for consortium-wide organizational and outreach activities, known as SenNet OOC functions.
