The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) – Brain Cell Data Center Grant to establish a centralized hub for brain cell data. This grant aims to create a web-accessible system to store, analyze, and display data on brain cell types and connectivity. The selected center will set standards for managing diverse data types, register data to common brain coordinate systems, develop digital brain atlases, and build a comprehensive brain cell knowledge base. The goal is to provide a valuable resource for researchers in the neuroscience community. Closing date for applications: January 23, 2017.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) intends to support a Brain Cell Data Center (BCDC) that will work with other BICCN Centers and interested researchers to establish a web-accessible information system to capture, store, analyze, curate, and display all data and metadata on brain cell types, and their connectivity. The BCDC is expected to: (1) lead the effort to establish spatial and semantic standards for managing heterogeneous brain cell census data types and information; (2) lead the effort to collect and register multimodal brain cell census data to common brain coordinate systems; (3) generate searchable 2D and 3D digital brain atlases for cell census data; and (4) generate a unified and comprehensive brain cell knowledge base that integrates all existing brain cell census data and information across diverse repositories. A central goal of this and the three companion FOAs is to build a brain cell census resource that can be widely used throughout the research community. |
