Future Directions of the NHGRI Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL)

Event Details

This workshop aims to identify gaps, challenges and future opportunities related to NHGRI’s investments in the AnVIL’s cloud-based infrastructure, tools and services. The workshop will include discussions on the current status of the infrastructure, tools and services provided by AnVIL to serve both the basic and clinical genomics research communities. These discussions will also help NHGRI identify activities needed to expand, diversify and support the AnVIL user community.

The agenda includes four breakout rooms divided into two sessions:

1)  Data submission and consortia engagement
2)  Analysis tools
3)  Infrastructure
4)  Outreach and training

Cross-cutting themes explored in each breakout room include:

1)  How cloud based platforms can better serve the needs of genomic researchers
2)  What tools and services can better support clinical genomic researchers
3)  How to improve interoperability with other cloud-based resources

All times in the agenda below are in Eastern.

About AnVIL

The NHGRI Genomic Data Science Analysis, Visualization and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL) is a secure, cloud-based environment where researchers can store, share and analyze key unrestricted- and controlled-access genomic datasets and associated phenotypic data or metadata, particularly those generated with NHGRI funding or support. Since 2018, NHGRI has funded and managed AnVIL through two cooperative agreements awarded to the Broad Institute and Johns Hopkins University.
