NITRC TO BE SELF-SUSTAINING BY 2015

NITRC is a web site that supports collaboration and sharing within the neuroimaging community. Originally funded by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research for five years, NITRC was recently renewed for an additional four years under the condition that it will be self-sustaining by 2015. Not seeking to make a profit, we are seeking sponsorship and advertising revenue to cover operating costs of this key service from manufacturers, publishers, and other vendors associated with the neuroscience field to support this successful web site.

WHO USES OUR SITE?

A year ago, NIH conducted a limited survey finding over 100 scientific papers that cited using NITRC in their research process while over 130 grant applications to NIH have included NITRC in their data sharing plans. A large majority of US functional and structural neuroimaging laboratories, as well as several internationally, are familiar with this website due to the NITRC team’s assertive outreach at major neuroscience conferences, university seminars, and training events. The labs below wrote letters of support for NITRC’s sustainability.
