As the primary agency of the US government responsible for biomedical and public health research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is one of the leading medical research centers in the world. The NIH Office of Portfolio Analysis (OPA) is tasked with helping NIH prioritize its research. OPA wanted to find a better way to optimize its cloud costs as its analytical research demands continued to grow. That need led OPA to work with AWS Partner Govplace, a systems integrator and solution provider for the public sector. Read this post to learn more about how OPA reduced research costs and scaled on demand.

The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. The full list of publicly available datasets are on the Registry of Open Data on AWS and are now also discoverable on AWS Data Exchange.
