Description
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), along with other NIH Institutes and Centers, plans to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity to develop web-accessible data archives for the BRAIN Initiative. These archives will capture, store, and curate data, incorporating software tools for analysis and visualization, and use appropriate standards for data description. The goal is to advance research by creating a data archive that is broadly accessible to the scientific community. Applications are not currently being solicited; this notice allows potential applicants time to develop collaborations and projects. The NOFO will use the R24 activity code and requires proposals that support rigorous data sharing, analysis, and collaboration across sub-domains.
