The NIH is in the business of accelerating biomedical discoveries so as to improve the human condition. That acceleration, like any scientific endeavor, requires building on what has gone before. That process of accumulation and reuse is not optimal and in the digital world there is even less reason for this not to be so. Improving this situation requires policy, infrastructure, changes to the incentives and reward structure, and more broadly a cultural shift. I will describe policies in place or planned, infrastructure development through The Commons and what we are doing to encourage cultural change while acknowledging that none of this is easy.
