1) The purpose of the *NIH Predoctoral Training in Biomedical Big Data
Science* (T32) program is to train "the next generation of scientists who
will develop computational and quantitative approaches and tools needed by
the biomedical research community to work with biomedical Big Data in the
biomedical sciences" (
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HG-14-004.html).

Average size of awards in anticipated to be $350,000 over 5 years to
