The document discusses the challenges and opportunities in scientific research amidst limited funding and rapid technological advancement, emphasizing the importance of automated function prediction and data sharing. It outlines the need for new collaborative models and best practices to enhance research outputs while fostering innovation and reproducibility. The concept of 'the commons' is introduced as a framework for collaborative research, enabling better resource sharing and functional annotation through open environments and community engagement.

The Role of Automated Function Prediction in the Era of Big Data and Small Budgets
- 1. The Role of Automated Function Prediction in the Era of Big Data and Small Budgets Philip E. Bourne Ph.D. Associate Director for Data Science National Institutes of Health
- 2. A View from the Funding Agencies
- 3. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair …”
- 4. Roughly translated… A time of great (unprecedented?) scientific development but limited funding A time of upheaval in the way we do science
- 5. From a funders perspective… A time to squeeze every cent/penny to maximize the amount of research that can be done A time for when top down approaches meet bottom up approaches
- 6. Top Down vs Bottom Up Top Down – Regulations e.g. US: Common Rule, FISMA, HIPPA – Data sharing policies • GWAS • Genome data • Clinical trials – Digital enablement – Moves towards reproducibility Bottom Up – Communities emerge and crowdsource • Collaboration • Data shared • Open source software • Common principles • Standards

- 9. Consider This an Opportunity Look at the value of data Derive new business models Look for new efficiencies Foster best practices Foster collaboration ….
- 10. It is the age when functional annotation is in the greatest demand for science.. It is the age when the rewards outside academia are greater than the rewards inside

Sustainability and Sharing: The Commons Data The Long Tail Core Facilities/HS Centers Clinical /Patient The Why: Data Sharing Plans The Commons Government The How: Data Discovery Index Sustainable Storage Quality Scientific Discovery Usability Security/ Privacy Commons == Extramural NCBI == Research Object Sandbox == Collaborative Environment The End Game: KnowledgeNIH Awardees Private Sector Metrics/ Standards Rest of Academia Software Standards Index BD2K Centers Cloud, Research Objects,
- 14. What The Commons Is and Is Not Is Not: – A database – Confined to one physical location – A new large infrastructure – Owned by any one group Is: – A conceptual framework – Analogous to the Internet – A collaboratory – A few shared rules • All research objects have unique identifiers • All research objects have limited provenance
- 15. What Does the Commons Enable? Dropbox like storage The opportunity to apply quality metrics Bring compute to the data A place to collaborate A place to discover http://100plus.com/wp-content/uploads/Data-Commons-3- 1024x825.png

- 17. What Are the Benefits to Those Doing Functional Annotation? Open environment in which to test new ideas – better for crowdsourcing Opportunity to gain resources to run annotation pipelines Opportunity to collaborate through provision of open APIs Better characterization and accessibility to annotation methods
- 18. Commons Pilots Define a set of use cases emphasizing: – Openness of the system – Support for basic statistical analysis – Embedding of existing applications – API support into existing resources Evaluate against the use cases Review results & business model with NIH leadership Design a pilot phase with various groups Conduct pilot for 6-12 months Evaluate outcomes and determine whether a wider deployment makes sense Report to NIH leadership summer 2015
