Yes, this is a huge problem. NIH was happy to fund model organism databases and OMIM in the early days, but now they're cup-in-hand, like Wikipedia.

Years ago, I got an NSF ABI (Advances in Biological Informatics) award (Sailfish, with Carl Kingsford) and then served on an ABI study section. It was an odd mix of things like funding the tidyverse and digitizing museum collections. I don't think they do exactly that any more, but they did.
