A SWOT Analysis of Data Science @ NIH
This document discusses a SWOT analysis of data science at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It outlines opportunities and threats, as well as strengths and weaknesses. Key points include that data science will become more central to biomedical research but the transition is taking longer than needed. Opportunities include open science and patient-centered healthcare, while threats include insufficient resources and issues with data access and privacy. Strengths include large datasets and diverse data types available, as well as collaboration, but weaknesses include gender/race inequality and sustainability challenges. The Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) program aims to address these through initiatives like the NIH Commons and policy recommendations.

- 7. Opportunities & Threats •O: “Disruption” - data & analytics will become more central to the biomedical enterprise • T: The time to this realization is much longer than it need be • T: The efficiency of the enterprise is not what it should be • T: We do too little to address existing & future pain points
- 8. Weaknesses • Access vsprivacy of human subjects data • Gender and race inequality • Valuing scholarship / reward systems • Appropriate review • Sustainability • Insufficient resources
- 9. Sustainability • Revised governance structure •Inventory of NIH data repositories and costs • The Commons • Interoperability pilots • Sustainability FOAs • Policy recommendations
