The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research is a collaborative effort among the NIH Office of the Director and 15 Institutes and Centers to accelerate the pace of discovery and understanding in neuroscience research (for details see the following: http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/). This FOA is affiliated with the Neuroscience Blueprint, with Institutes and Centers participating independently, and with participation by Institutes that are not part of the Neuroscience Blueprint. The purpose of this FOA is to encourage researchers to use the caBIG™ and BIRN infrastructures to share data and tools by federating new software tools under these infrastructures or using the infrastructure to federate significant data sets. Awards issued under this FOA will NOT provide support to develop the tools or to measure data. The goal is to make these tools/data broadly available to other researchers.
