SUMMARY:[ CHAN ZUCKERBERG INITIATIVE – Data Insights | Research Funding 
 ]
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20211214

CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative invites applications for p
 rojects that aim to use and gain insights into health and disease from exi
 sting single-cell datasets to help accelerate progress toward challenges a
 ssociated with the compilation and exploration of large atlas-scale data.\
 nGiven the growth of single-cell biology and the rapid increase in availab
 le data\, CZI is looking to support projects that will advance the fields 
 of single-cell biology and data science. Grantees will be expected to inte
 ract with a network among participating groups that builds community and a
 ccelerates progress. Applications are encouraged from computational expert
 s outside the field of single-cell biology but with expertise relevant to 
 overcoming current bottlenecks.\n\nSuccessful proposals are likely to inco
 rporate some\, or multiple\, of the following attributes:\n\n	Increase the
  robustness and performance of tools of broad interest for various tasks\,
  such as data integration\, scaling to higher dimensionalities\, or mappin
 g new data sets to a reference atlas that allow deeper insights.\n	Develop
  benchmarking frameworks\, tasks\, and infrastructure that enable comparis
 ons among a class of tools and methods to stimulate future development tha
 t increases scale\, efficiency\, and reproducibility and accelerates scien
 tific discovery in the field.\n	Aggregate multiple datasets that result in
  an integrated representation and allow for deeper biological insights and
  queries than would be possible from any single dataset.\n	Improve existin
 g tools\, standards and/or increase interoperability among multiple tools.
 \n\n\nThis request for applications is the first of three cycles planned f
 or the coming years.\n\nDuration:      18 months\n\nFunding:     
   Focused projects* - max $200\,000\n                  
       Expanded projects* – max $400\,000\n \nEligibility: Applicat
 ions may be submitted by non-profit and for-profit organizations\, public 
 and private institutions\, such as colleges\, universities\, hospitals\, l
 aboratories\, units of state and local government\, companies\, and eligib
 le agencies of the federal government. Each application must have a minimu
 m of one PI (Coordinating PI)\, but may designate up to three total PIs (o
 ne Coordinating PI and up to two Co-PIs). PIs and Co-PIs must each be perm
 itted to receive grant support by the organization they are applying with.
 \n\nHow to Apply: The application consists of the following sections (call
 ed tasks in the grants portal): Coordinating PI Details\, Organization Det
 ails for Coordinating PI\, Equal Opportunity & Diversity\, Project Details
 \, Budget Description\, Biosketches\, and Optional Attachments. To complet
 e the Organizational Details and obtain the Institutional Approval Form\, 
 contact the Research office.\n\n*Grants will be awarded at two levels:\n\n
 	$200\,000 USD total costs for grants that primarily support the effort of
  one to two full-time employees (FTEs) working on a given project.\n	$400\
 ,000 USD total for networked grants that will require the participation of
  two to four FTEs.\n	Funding is not intended to support experimental data 
 generation\n	Indirect costs of 15% should be budgeted and included within 
 the totals above.\n\n\nDeadline:      14 December 2021 (5 pm PST)\n\nF
 urther information\n\n\n	Contact the Research Office to request an institu
 tional approval form.\n	More information about the program is available he
 re.\n	The application portal can be found here.\n	For any other questions\
 , please contact the Research Office.\n
