Discover, Analyze, and Integrate NIH Common Fund Data
The NIH Common Fund programs generate diverse datasets from a variety of projects ranging from genomics to phenotypes. The Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) aims to facilitate improved discovery, reuse, integration, and analyses of these datasets to form novel hypothesis for accelerating discoveries in biomedical research.
The Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) aims to enable broad use of data generated by Common Fund Programs to accelerate hypothesis generation and discovery.
Making data more FAIR
The Data Resource and Knowledge Centers are dedicated to enhancing the accessibility and utility of Common Fund-generated data and resources, striving to uphold the FAIR principles. This commitment serves as a catalyst for groundbreaking biomedical discoveries, fostering synergies across the diverse datasets within the Common Fund ecosystem, thereby unlocking novel avenues of research and innovation.

Oral diseases are among the most common #NCDs.
They encompass a range of conditions, including gum disease, oral cancer, and dental caries.
Symptoms may include:
🔸 Bleeding or swollen gums
🔸 Persistent bad breath
🔸 Toothaches or sensitivity
🔸 Loose or shifting teeth
🔸 Pain 
Measles is highly contagious and can cause serious complications, especially in children.
