KBase R&D ARRA Project Archive

History

With funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), a research and development project was carried out in 2009 to support the conceptual design and implementation planning necessary to develop KBase. Completed in September 2010, this effort included a series of community planning workshops and five pilot projects. Together with dialogue collected through an interactive website, these workshops and pilots informed the scientific objectives, software requirements, and design approaches detailed in the September 2010 DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase Implementation Plan, the final product of the ARRA R&D project.*

The ensuing KBase project was funded by DOE’s Biological and Environmental Research Program (BER) in 2011.
