Description
This opportunity supports projects that disseminate and integrate resources or technologies into neuroscience research, advancing the goals of the BRAIN Initiative as outlined in "BRAIN 2025: A Scientific Vision" and "The BRAIN Initiative 2.0: From Cells to Circuits, Toward Cures." Proposed resources must address compelling, unmet needs in neuroscience research and should be shared broadly with the neuroscience community. Activities must include dissemination of an existing resource, and may also cover distribution of tools/reagents, user training, access to specialized technology platforms or facilities, and minor improvements or adaptations to enhance resource delivery or meet user needs.
