Past Funded Projects

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill UNC Health Sciences Library HSL will implement a pilot data catalog to facilitate discovery, access, and re-use of UNC-generated genomic data produced by research projects funded by NIH and other federal agencies. A 2014 UNC Genomics Data Task Force assessed UNC's data stewardship needs and recommended a data catalog as critical need. This project will be the first initiative to pursue the task force's recommendation.

The leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 46 is trauma a disabling or life-threatening physical injury that results from an event such as a motor vehicle crash, gun violence, or a fall .
