This BRAIN Initiative grant supports large-scale Comprehensive Centers developing highly granular brain cell atlases for human and non-human primates, emphasizing human. Centers will use scalable technology and streamlined sampling to characterize all brain cell types—neurons, glia, and non-neuronal cells—at high-resolution. The grant’s core purpose is to build foundational reference brain cell atlases for widespread research community use. These atlases provide an essential molecular and anatomical framework, significantly advancing the study of brain function and disorders by offering a robust neuroscience resource. This initiative aims to produce widely utilized brain cell maps.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) intends to support a group of large-scale Comprehensive Centers that will adopt scalable technology platforms and streamlined sampling strategies and assay cascade to create comprehensive and highly granular brain cell atlases of human and non-human primates with an emphasis on human. The Centers are expected to characterize all brain cell types (neurons, glia, and other non-neuronal cells) at high-resolution. 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. |
