"This program has established domain-specific archives that serve as primary repositories for scientific data generated across the BRAIN research portfolio, providing long-term maintenance, standardized curation, compliance with NIH data management and sharing policy, and broad community access."
"Since its launch in 2017, the BRAIN Initiative data archives program has funded eight domain-specific archives. These archives handle multiple data types including light microscopy, multi-omics, electron microscopy, X-ray microtomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, neurophysiological recordings, immunostaining, electroencephalogram, magnetoencephalography, electrocorticography, and most recently, multi-modal brain-behavior quantification data in humans and other animals."
"Support of the data archive infrastructure is essential to maintain reproducible data pipelines, ensure ongoing data sharing compliance, preserve data quality and accessibility, and scale infrastructure to accommodate the exponential growth and increasing complexity of BRAIN data."
The BRAIN Initiative data archives program, launched in 2017, has established eight domain-specific repositories supporting diverse neuroscience data types including microscopy, imaging, neurophysiological recordings, and behavioral quantification. These archives capture, store, and curate data from BRAIN research activities while providing analytical tools for community access. The infrastructure handles nearly 14 petabytes of data and ensures compliance with NIH data management policies. Continued funding is critical for maintaining reproducible data pipelines, preserving data quality and accessibility, ensuring ongoing data sharing compliance, and scaling infrastructure to manage the exponential growth and increasing complexity of neuroscience data generated across the BRAIN research portfolio.
