Description
This opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) solicits applications to develop and operate web-accessible data archives for the BRAIN Initiative. The goal is to create robust, community-oriented data repositories that capture, store, and curate data generated by BRAIN Initiative-funded and related neuroscience projects. These archives should facilitate broad access, support data quality and reproducibility, and enable integration with analysis and visualization tools (though the development of such tools is not funded under this announcement).
The program aims to advance neuroscience research by making high-quality, well-described data widely available to the research community, including citizen scientists, and by fostering interoperability and future integration across sub-domains of brain research.
