The winner of the 2012 Government Big Data Solutions Award is the National Cancer Institute.

Among the many activities of the NCI is the cancer Biomedical Information Grid (caBIG), a framework of open source, open access information enabling secure exchange of information for cancer research as well as many research tools.  An example of the broad collaboration of work supported by NCI is The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).  caBIG forms the information infrastructure of TCGA. TCGA is an integrated database of molecular and clinical data. Goals of TCGA include accelerating our understanding of the genetics of cancer using innovative genome analysis technologies.  It is one of these innovative technologies judged to be the most stellar example of Big Data solutions in the federal government in 2012.
