The 'German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure – de.NBI' is a national, [[academic]] and non-profit infrastructure supported by the [[Federal Ministry of Education and Research]] providing [[bioinformatics]] services to users in [[life sciences]] research and [[biomedicine]] in [[Germany]] and Europe. The partners organize training events, courses and summer schools on tools, standards and compute services provided by de.NBI to assist researchers to more effectively exploit their data <ref>[https://academic.oup.com/bib/advance-article/doi/10.1093/bib/bbx040/3738742 Bioinformatics in Germany: toward a national-level infrastructure by Andreas Tauch & Arwa Al-Dilaimi]</ref>.

In May 2013, the announcement of funding guidelines for a German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI) was published by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim of this announcement was to establish an infrastructure in Germany that will provide solutions to the ‘Big Data Problem’ in life science by means of bioinformatics services and training. A second announcement of funding guidelines for de.NBI partner projects was published in November 2015. The de.NBI program was launched by the BMBF in March 2015, and the partner projects started their work in November 2016<ref>[https://academic.oup.com/bib/advance-article/doi/10.1093/bib/bbx040/3738742 Bioinformatics in Germany: toward a national-level infrastructure by Andreas Tauch & Arwa Al-Dilaimi]</ref>. In addition, the [[ELIXIR]] Node in Germany is run by de.NBI since August 2016 <ref>[https://www.elixir-europe.org/news/elixir-board-meeting-2016-spring-session ELIXIR Board Meeting Spring 2016]</ref><ref>[https://www.elixir-europe.org/news/germany-joins-elixir Germany joins ELIXIR]</ref><ref>[https://www.elixir-europe.org/about-us/who-we-are/nodes/germany. ELIXIR Germany]</ref>.

The first coordinator of the project and Head of the German ELIXIR Node is [[Alfred Pühler]].
