On Aug. 15, 2017, the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program awarded a $15 million grant to establish the Kids First Data Resource Center. The five-year award allowed scientists to harness genomic data from thousands of pediatric patients to collaboratively engage in shared research.

Adam Margolin, Ph.D., professor of biomedical engineering, and director of computational biology in the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) School of Medicine and the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute was co-principal investigator on the project.
