OpportunityTitle: Neuroimaging Informatics Software Enhancement for Improved Interoperability and Dissemination (R03)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Foreign institutions are eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. Faith-based or community-based organizations can apply.
Description: -Purpose. This FOA intends to support modification and enhancement of existing neuroimaging informatics tools and resources that are hosted or being considered for inclusion into the NIH Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC, www.nitrc.org, public release scheduled for October 2007). Examples of such tools include image segmentation, image registration, image processing pipelines, statistical analysis packages, spatial alignment and normalization algorithms, and data format translators. Resources include well-characterized test datasets, data formats, and databases, among others. The proposed work shall significantly improve the interoperability and adoptability of neuroimaging informatics tools and resources and result in enhanced dissemination, adoption, and evolution of such tools and resources by the broader neuroimaging research community. -Mechanism of Support. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism and runs in parallel with the NIH Notice NOT-EB-07-006 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-EB-07-006.html) of identical scientific scope that solicits applications under the Administrative Revision (formerly supplement ) mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The participating organizations intend to commit a total of $950,000 to this FOA. The anticipated total number of awards for this FOA is 5-7 per year. Awards issued under this announcement are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
