NCI offers the following resources to store (archive) and manage large research datasets:
How do these resources work together? DME provides an entry point to archive data to the NCI Data Vault, and to manage, transfer, access, and share data across disparate systems securely and efficiently. DME allows users to apply user-defined metadata to registered data at different points in the data life cycle. In addition, DME offers search capabilities to identify this data and attach a value factor to each dataset. A Division/Office/Center (DOC) can define its own metadata structure and data hierarchy rules, and grant permission to users as needed.
Who can access the DME? If you have an NIH account, the NCI Data Vault team can give you access to DME. For access requests or any other questions, contact NCIDataVault@mail.nih.gov.
