NSF Conference Award: PI – Dr. Sharlene Newman, University of Alabama Tuscaloosa; Title: Advancing research and education in big data neuroscienceIn recent years, there has been a massive increase in the number of publicly available neuroimaging datasets and online tools for their analysis. These developments have led to vastly productive research that makes use of existing data rather than incurring the cost of continuously creating new datasets. Online data sharing and analysis have also proved to be extremely beneficial to the transparency and accessibility of neuroscience to other communities (e.g., computational modelling, engineering). However, the benefits have not spread evenly, and remain concentrated in well-resourced labs and institutions. This workshop seeks to change that, by specifically engaging with less well-funding institutions across the South, particularly HBCUs, to provide training in the use of these tools, foster collaborations, and solicit insights from researchers at these institutions for how to further lower barriers to their participation. Participants will be provided with funding for travel to attend and participate in a multiday workshop consisting of talks, listening sessions, and direct training. Speakers and presenters include faculty from universities across the south and several HBCUs. The workshop aims to foster the development of a community of neuroimaging researchers across the South.This project is jointly funded by Cognitive Neuroscience and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

NSF会议奖：PI - Sharlene Newman博士，阿拉巴马大学塔斯卡卢萨分校；标题：推进大数据神经科学的研究和教育近年来，公开可用的神经成像数据集和用于分析的在线工具的数量大幅增加。这些发展导致了大量富有成效的研究，这些研究利用了现有的数据，而不是不断地产生新的数据集。在线数据共享和分析也被证明对其他社区（例如，计算建模，工程）的神经科学的透明度和可及性非常有益。然而，收益并没有均匀分布，仍然集中在资源充足的实验室和机构。本次研讨会旨在改变这一现状，具体做法是与南方资金不太充足的机构，特别是hbcu合作，提供使用这些工具的培训，促进合作，并征求这些机构的研究人员对如何进一步降低其参与障碍的见解。与会者将获得旅费，参加为期多日的研讨会，包括讲座、听力课程和直接培训。演讲者和主持人包括来自南方大学和几所hbcu的教师。该研讨会旨在促进整个南方神经影像学研究人员社区的发展。该项目由认知神经科学和刺激竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
