NIH has issued a solicitation to secure a collaborative software platform to integrate, manage, secure, and analyze any kind of scientific data used at NCATS.
NCATS has conducted a pilot project to evaluate integrated management of large and disparate data and has determined that using a sophisticated collaborative platform to integrate, manage, secure, and analyze the data used within NCATS will provide substantial support to our scientific mission. The platform must meet the following requirements:
- A commercial software solution deployable on day one of the project and that can be configured within expedited timelines.
- An open data architecture, where data always remains under the full control of NCATS and can be easily exported in open, non-proprietary data formats via open APIs. The software should be built on an open, distributed microservices architecture with open, well-documented REST APIs that are designed to seamlessly interface with other systems, adapt to meet evolving needs, and avoid system lock-in…
The period of performance is one year, with two one-year option periods.
Responses are due by July 16, 2018.
