A while back we submitted a proposal to NIH - not funded, but the abstract is here:

ABSTRACT

Biomedical investigators at universities such as MIT generate enormous amounts of research data, on the order of petabytes per year, in a wide variety of forms (time series, waveforms, images, videos, documents, spreadsheets, etc.). These data sets should be preserved and shared openly and efficiently with the research community. The process for achieving that goal is currently inadequate, however, and much valuable research data is not discoverable and opportunities for re-use are gone forever. The university library system is the ideal institution to provide accessible, convenient (local), and affordable systems for research data management, archiving, and dissemination to the broad research community. Libraries have highly developed expertise and infrastructures for the archiving, cataloging, and dissemination of information. However, the deluge of digital research data and associated software has far outpaced their existing infrastructure.
Our proposed Center of Excellence will design, develop, and evaluate the tools, polices, and infrastructure to meet the challenge. The Center will bring together experts in medicine, biology, statistics, library science, economics, data science, data privacy, and computer science to develop methods to enable institutional management, curation and publication of data produced by research laboratories and their members, and of the accompanying metadata, software, and contextual knowledge necessary to understand, access and establish the authenticity of that evidence base.
The Center’s ‘products’ will be (1) a set of new methods, algorithms, and protocols to enable a university to manage, share and publish the research data and software produced by its investigators; (2) production quality open source software implementing these methods; and (3) cost, business and economic models that will guide universities in sustainable implementation.
