The relationship between the funding, research, curation, and sharing steps of the NF-OSI. CTF and NTAP fund researchers, who in turn generate datasets, tools, and publications. Data are uploaded to Synapse, where the projects are curated, standard metadata is applied to the files, and publications are tracked. After these steps, these projects are connected to the NF Data Portal to facilitate exploration of study files, datasets, tools, and publications. When the nature of the data permit (i.e. the data are public, non-sensitive, and of a format that is compatible with sequence/array-focused archives) the data are also deposited in public archives such as the Sequence Read Archive (SRA)1 or the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO)2.
