Data Coordinating Center for the Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Brain Atlas (AD-MBA) (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This NIH cooperative agreement funds a Data Coordinating Center to host, integrate, analyze, and disseminate multiscale mouse brain atlas data for aging and Alzheimer’s disease research communities.
⚑ Clinical Trial Not Allowed · foreign organizations ineligible · non-domestic components of U.S. organizations ineligible · foreign subawards/subcontracts not allowed
This is a biomedical data-infrastructure and Alzheimer’s mouse-brain atlas center, which is far outside IPPRA’s social-behavioral research lines. The team’s methods expertise in data coordination or survey science would not make this a plausible PI-level pursuit for any roster member.

Description
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications proposing a Data Coordinating Center that integrates and disseminates multiscale mouse brain datasets for the aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) research community. The Data Coordinating Center will establish the Aging and AD Mouse Brain Atlas (AD-MBA), which will serve as a central, unified research resource for multi-omic and connectomic mouse brain datasets emerging from the NIA AD Multimodal Atlas Projects (AD-MAPs). The Data Coordinating Center will (1) leverage the NIA-supported AD Knowledge Portal data infrastructure to facilitate hosting, deposition, and dissemination of multimodal datasets generated by the AD-MAPs program, (2) facilitate collaborative analyses among the data-contributing teams, (3) develop/optimize and incorporate tools for multiscale integration of multi-omics and connectomics datasets, and (4) create a broadly accessible web-based interface for the visualization and dissemination of integrated multiscale data.
Eligibility
Refer to Section III. Eligibility Information in the NOFO for additional information on eligibility.Foreign Organizations/Foreign CollaborationsNon-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are not eligible to apply.Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed. NIH will no longer issue awards (i.e., new, renewal, or non-competing continuation) to domestic or foreign entities that involve foreign subawards/subcontracts. All NIH-funded research involving foreign subawards/subcontracts must be submitted in response to a NOFO that is specifically designated for funded international collaborations. See NIH Grants Policy Statement 16.8 Collaborative International Research Awards.Applications involving foreign subawards/subcontracts submitted in response to this NOFO will be deemed noncompliant and will not be considered for funding. This policy applies to all monetary international collaborations resulting in foreign subawards/subcontracts, however, it does not preclude unfunded international collaborations or foreign components, funding for foreign consultants, or procurement of unique equipment or supplies from foreign vendors.
