Impact
This document intends to convey how the BIDS Steering and Maintainers Group can support your proposed BIDS grant. In an effort to express the impact of BIDS in the brain imaging community, we have shared several of our traffic metrics.
How the BIDS team can help you
If you are in the process of putting together a grant, please email/message the pillar lead that is most closely associated with your proposed grant so we may help support this. Our organization is structured into 3 pillars: standard, tools, and collaboration.
The respective leads are:
- Stefan Appelhoff (stefan.appelhoff@mailbox.org),
- Chris Markiewicz (markiewicz@stanford.edu)
Our range of support covers activities such as: meeting with the Steering and Maintainers Groups to assisting with connecting you with other BIDS grant writers or related initiatives to receiving a letter of support from the Steering Group.
Regarding requesting a letter of support - please submit a drafted letter of support to the collaboration lead (???) so we may review internally.
Please include how you plan on giving back to the BIDS community. The primary mechanism is to support a member of your team to become a BIDS Maintainer. Letters of support are approved by the Steering Group. This process may take 2-4 weeks to complete.
We kindly ask you to please share your grant online - successful or not. This will signal to the rest of the community what avenues we have pursued and what our fellow colleagues are planning on doing next. These can be grants that directly extend our support into a new domain, grants that help BIDS (for example OpenNeuro), or unsuccessful grant applications.
For example, please find our NIH-R24 Brain Initiative BIDS-Derivatives grant.
