Before we look at platforms .. and thinking as a funder .. I want to describe an emergent effort that may have some valuable lessons for GA4GH going forward in their relationship to funders (something that should not be ignored)
Preprintshttp://www.hdimagez.com/gifts-made-of-moneywallpapers/

What is a preprint?• A complete manuscript/research report shared prior to/instead of
publication – in ArXiv 80% of preprints get published at a later date
• Not formally peer reviewed but may be commented on by the community – depends on the preprint service
![Page 5: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Status• ASAPbio to issue RFI for what a central preprint service should look
like• ~15 global funders (government and foundations) – the coalition of
the willing – defined basic principles to support such a service• Collectively expect to fund ASAPbio to award a contract to build the
system • While sustainability models should be sought, funders anticipate
funding a central service for 5-10 years at least
Endpoint• Accelerated scientific outcomes through a human and machine
accessible corpus of open knowledge accessible to all

Obvious endpoint/singular message
Possible Touchpoint to Funders:
“The partners in the Global Alliance are working together to create a common framework of harmonized approaches to enable the responsible, voluntary, and secure sharing of genomic and clinical data.”
![Page 10: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Funders too are increasingly looking at moving from pipes to platforms (aka common framework)..
What would such a platform look-like? …

Making Biomedical Research More Like Airbnb

I am not crazy, hear me out• Airbnb is a platform that supports a trusted relationship between
consumer (renter) and supplier (host)• The platform focuses on maximizing the exchange of services
between supplier and consumer and maximizing the amount of trust associated with a given stakeholder
• It seems to be working: • 60 million users searching 2 million listings in 192 countries • Average of 500,000 stays per night. • Evaluation of US $25bn
![Page 13: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Is not biomedical research the same?
![Page 14: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why a comparison to Airbnb is not fair• Airbnb was born digital
• The exchange of services on Airbnb are simple compared to what is required of a platform to support biomedical research
Nevertheless there is much to be learnt
![Page 15: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Consider why this appeals to funders

What is different is the perceived value of each to the research enterprise. That value difference is diminishing in part because of openness, accessibility, policy, governance, increased data reuse and lets not forget other forms of madness…

Platforms - the situation today
![Page 20: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In summary there is not currently a widely adopted single platform for the exchange of services in biomedical research. Either there is a platform per service or no platform at all. Why have we not done better and what are the impediments today?
![Page 21: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Impediments to a biomedical platform
• Current work practices by all stakeholders• Entrenched business models• Size of the undertaking aka resources needed• Trust• Incentives to use the platform

The NIH through the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) is experimenting with a platform, keeping in mind the need to overcome these impediments

Commons compliance
• Treat products of research – data, methods, papers etc. as digital objects
• These digital objects exist in a shared virtual space
• Digital object compliance through FAIR principles:
• Findable• Accessible (and usable)• Interoperable • Reusable The FAIR Principles

Prediction – funder activities are about to accelerate and here lies the opportunity….
What are the funder incentives? ….
![Page 28: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Incentives• Airbnb
• Monetize unutilized space
• Ease of use
• New vacation experience
• Commons• Need to improve rigor and
reproducibility• Productivity• Sustainability
• Education and training
• Opportunity to undertake elastic compute on large complex data
![Page 29: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
NIH committed to (and would hope other funders will join)• The Commons and the FAIR principles• Pilots that test the feasibility of the platform for larger scale
development/adoption• Provision of two large complex data sets in the Commons – TOPMed
and GTEx are obvious choices, others may surface• Use cases that illustrate the feasibility and scientific value of:
• Access to a single data source• Interoperability across data sources
![Page 30: Towards a Platform for Global Health](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5876ea101a28ab046d8b6e45/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Summary• NIH has endorsed the Commons and the FAIR principles• The Commons is the beginnings of a platform from which to conduct
biomedical research• Over the next 1-2 years we are conducting pilots to evaluate the
feasibility of the Commons• If feasible the intent is to expand into additional layers of the scholarly
research lifecycle• The global reach of GA4GH can foster a coalition of the willing• Commons applications are an opportunity to provide a singular
message

“I really admire Airbnb as a pioneer of the sharing economy and for building community. They've found an elegant way to help hosts make more money and for guests to have authentic experiences. It brings those people together in a unique way. “

“The Commons is an effort at creating a sharing economy and for building community. We hope for a more cost effective and productive research environment while bringing people together in a unique way. “
