 DESCRIPTION: The Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF; http://neuinfo.org) is currently managed, maintained, and hosted by researchers in the Center for Research in Biological Systems (CRBS) at the University of California, San Diego. Our group is the principal developer of the NIF system and has overseen its growth since 2008 from a modest catalog of 300 resources developed during the first phase of NIF, to the largest source of neuroscience resources on the web. As defined here, resources include data, databases, software/web-based tools, materials, literature, networks, terminologies, or information that would accelerate the pace of neuroscience research and discovery. NIF was instantiated because many of these valuable tools and services were largely unknown to the scientific community they were meant to serve. With the launch of major brain initiatives in the US and Europe, the amount of neuroscience data and tools will continue to increase. NIF can be viewed as a cost effective "PubMed" and "PubMed Central" for digital assets, e.g., databases, software tools, alternative media, to make them collectively searchable and present a unified discovery environment for biomedical researchers. The NIF is heavily used, as measured by the number of visitors per month (more than 40,000) to the NIF web resources and the large number of repeat users (~35%) that visit the NIF discovery portal on a regular basis. NIF's services, standards and products are also heavily used as our web services are now regularly receiving more than 15 million hits per month. NIF has developed a novel sustainability plan that provides for continued enhancement and population of the resource. NIF has developed a reputation as a trusted community partner, allowing us to gain cooperation with large segments of the neuroscience community, as well as publishers, non-profit and government organizations. Through these networks, we've been able to launch major initiatives, help launch new collaborative efforts in basic and clinical neuroscience, and implement standards to help transform the way that we cite and track research resources. The work to be performed during the award period will be directed towards operating and maintaining the current NIF system while providing necessary strategic enhancements and providing broad outreach and dissemination efforts to encourage utilization of the NIF. A core new area of development will be centered around providing analytic tools to explore and identify lacunas of knowledge in Neuroscience. The initial work will focus on developing analytic heatmaps for activation foci from the neuroimaging literature.

 描述：神经科学信息框架(NIF；http://neuinfo.org))目前由加州大学圣地亚哥分校生物系统研究中心的研究人员管理、维护和托管。我们小组是NIF系统的主要开发者，自2008年以来一直在监督它的发展，从NIF第一阶段开发的300个资源的普通目录，到现在网络上最大的神经科学资源来源。按照这里的定义，资源包括数据、数据库、基于软件/网络的工具、材料、文献、网络、术语或将加快神经科学研究和发现步伐的信息。NIF之所以被实例化，是因为许多这些有价值的工具和服务在很大程度上是科学界所不知道的，它们本应服务于科学界。随着美国和欧洲推出主要的大脑计划，神经科学数据和工具的数量将继续增加。NIF可被视为用于例如数据库、软件工具、替代媒体等数字资产的具有成本效益的“PubMed”和“PubMed Central”，以使其可集体搜索，并为生物医学研究人员呈现统一的发现环境。NIF的使用率很高，通过每月访问NIF Web资源的人数(超过40,000人)和定期访问NIF发现门户的大量重复用户(约35%)来衡量。NIF的服务、标准和产品也被大量使用，因为我们的网络服务现在每月的点击量经常超过1500万次。NIF制定了一项新的可持续发展计划，规定了资源的持续增强和人口增长。NIF已经建立了值得信赖的社区合作伙伴的声誉，使我们能够与神经科学界的大部分部门以及出版商、非营利组织和政府组织进行合作。通过这些网络，我们能够发起重大倡议，帮助在基础和临床神经科学领域发起新的合作努力，并实施标准，以帮助改变我们引用和跟踪研究资源的方式。授标期间将开展的工作将致力于操作和维持目前的国家信息框架系统，同时提供必要的战略改进，并提供广泛的外联和传播努力，以鼓励使用国家信息框架。一个核心的新发展领域将围绕提供分析工具来探索和识别神经科学中的知识漏洞。最初的工作将集中在从神经成像文献中开发激活灶的分析热图。
