List of Funding opportunities in February 2022

Do you have a great workshop idea? Let us know! We are inviting all members of the INCF community to submit proposals for workshop themes to be included in the virtual 2022 INCF Assembly this autumn. We encourage submissions that focus on FAIR data management approaches, tools, and infrastructure applicable to the neuroscience data lifecycle.

On January 26,  the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) launched the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI), to enable better access to and discovery of NIH-funded data among generalist repositories.

This week, INCF is applying to participate in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for the 12th time running. GSoC is a long-running program where contributors new to open source work with mentors on coding projects supported by a stipend from Google.

CCN invites applications for paid summer internships by graduate or advanced undergraduate students in physics, electrical engineering, machine learning, computer science or related fields.

INCF has been an active member of the IBI for several years, and Maryann Martone, chair of the INCF Governing Board, is also the co-chair of the IBI Data Standards and Sharing Working Group. In December 2021 the working group’s task force on International Data Governance published a paper describing issues and possible solutions for brain data governance.

During 2021, the INCF Infrastructure Committee has focused on developing a set of recommendations and associated criteria for choosing or setting up and running a repository or scientific gateway. A manuscript giving the rationale for the recommendations has been submitted, and is now available as a preprint on arXiv.

One of INCF’s longest running GSoC projects, Active Segmentation for ImageJ, has resulted in a paper. ImageJ is an open source Java image processing program extensively used in life sciences. The program was designed with an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins.

The INCF Working Group on Neuroinformatics in Aging was formed in reaction to the observation that countries in Asia Pacific face a major societal burden due to decline in mental abilities and health of the rapidly aging population.
