The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) grant to establish a Specialized Collaboratory focused on creating detailed brain cell atlases for human, non-human primates, and mice. This grant aims to leverage technology platforms and innovative sampling strategies to develop comprehensive brain cell reference maps. Collaboratories will work alongside other BICAN projects, complementing existing efforts to advance the understanding of brain function and disorders. Researchers are encouraged to contribute to the foundational framework for brain research through the generation of highly granular brain cell atlases. Applications are accepted until February 1, 2024.

| Description:: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) intends to support a group of Specialized Collaboratories that will adopt scalable technology platforms and streamlined sampling strategies and assay cascade to create comprehensive and highly granular brain cell atlases in human, non-human primates, and mouse, in coordination and collaboration with other BICAN projects. In particular, the Specialized Collaboratories are expected to complement the Comprehensive Centers in BICAN with distinct capabilities, competencies, and research aims. The overarching goal of the BICAN is to build reference brain cell atlases that will be widely used throughout the research community, providing a molecular and anatomical foundational framework for the study of brain function and disorders. |
