The Kavli Foundation invites Project Applications for one-year grants to generate new discoveries from reanalysis of data sets in the NWB format. The application should be for a project using publicly available data and is open only to attendees of the 2024 or 2025 NeuroDataReHack workshop.
The NeuroData Discovery Award has three key goals:
- Support innovative analyses of existing NWB-formatted datasets through conventional or novel analytic methods,
- Promote studies and new approaches to analysis that will drive discoveries and accelerate the pace of fundamental research in neuroscience, and
- Demonstrate that the secondary analysis of data can be used to examine questions beyond the scope of the original data.
Opportunity and Scope
- These grants are intended to provide funding for projects seeded at the NeuroDataReHack 2024 or 2025 workshop.
- Project applications must be for new, secondary analysis projects that use publicly available data found in archives, such as DANDI.
- Applicants are encouraged to propose analysis of standardized data generated by diverse research groups or sources.
- Data sources should be used in novel combinations; for example, Allen Brain Observatory or Allen Cell Types Database can be used if in combination with non-Allen Institute generated NWB datasets.
- Preliminary data are not required, and the scope of projects should be appropriate given budget and duration.
- Analysis pipelines and relevant analysis results must be released publicly via an open data archive or repository.
- Applicants should not propose new data collection, even if it enhances existing data sets.
- Project applications must not be focused solely on the development of new computational methods or software tools; any new analytical software must contribute to generating knowledge or scientific insights.
