Opportunity Summary:

The Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (U24) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA EB 16 002) is a discretionary NIH cooperative agreement designed to support a central clearinghouse for neuroimaging informatics tools and resources, while also promoting collaborative research in the broader field of neuroimaging informatics. In practical terms, the award is meant to sustain and advance an organized, community-facing infrastructure where researchers can find, share, and build upon software, data-related tools, and other informatics resources that are important for acquiring, managing, analyzing, and interpreting neuroimaging data. By emphasizing both a clearinghouse function and collaborative research enablement, the opportunity is aimed at strengthening coordination and reuse across the neuroimaging community, reducing duplicated effort, and improving the visibility and accessibility of informatics solutions that support brain imaging research.

This opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the National Institutes of Health (Agency listed as HHS-NIH11) and uses the U24 activity code, which typically supports resource-related projects that provide services or infrastructure to a research community, often with substantial federal involvement in project coordination and oversight. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, recipients should generally expect an active partnership with NIH staff in areas such as project governance, milestone planning, and ensuring that the clearinghouse serves community needs and aligns with NIH priorities for neuroimaging informatics.

Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of government entities and organizations that can host and operate a national-scale resource. Eligible applicants include state, county, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). This broad eligibility reflects the infrastructure-oriented nature of the project, where the key requirement is the capability to maintain and evolve a robust clearinghouse and to support collaborative research activities, rather than being limited to a narrow institutional type.

Administrative details indicate the FOA was created and posted on January 13, 2016, with an original and current closing date of March 15, 2016. The listing anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), which signals that NIH intended to fund one primary group to operate and steward the clearinghouse as a centralized resource for the field. The award ceiling is not specified in the provided data, but the single-award structure and U24 mechanism typically imply a substantial, multi-component effort with responsibilities that may include platform operations, community engagement, and continuous updates to keep pace with evolving neuroimaging methods and standards.

The opportunity is associated with multiple CFDA numbers (93.113, 93.213, 93.242, 93.273, 93.279, 93.286, 93.361, 93.853, 93.865, 93.866, 93.867), which indicates relevance across several NIH programs and scientific areas that intersect with biomedical imaging, neuroscience, and informatics. Overall, the FOA supports a shared national resource intended to make neuroimaging informatics tools easier to discover and use, while also fostering collaboration that can accelerate innovation and improve reproducibility and efficiency in neuroimaging research.
