OBI’s Centre for Analytics (CfA) seeks to support innovators from startups and labs with the development and translation to care of novel neuroanalytics technologies.
Project key requirements:
- Focus on brain health.
- 12 months duration.
- Develop novel neuroanalytics methods and skills.
- Make use of multi-modal data, with Brain-CODE data a strong preference.
- Have a clear translation plan (e.g., commercialization and/or partnership plan).
- Align with patient priorities from OBI’s network of patients and communities.
- Identify at least one HQP that will gain skills in neuroanalytics during the project.
- Agree to produce Methods Tutorial materials that describe the developed analytical/modelling method and data use in a blog-tutorial type of format (can include Jupyter Notebooks, Git code, etc).
- Agree to contribute analytics tools / pipelines or data back to OBI for open access sharing – or have a clear IP plan.
- Participate in webinars and in the CfA Community of Practice for neuroanalytics.
Centre for Analytics contribution:
- Funding and in-kind for HQP, expenses, and compute on OBI Cloud for a combined amount up to $80,000.
- Support with computing on OBI Cloud and access to Brain-CODE data.
- Fostering a Community of Practice in neuroanalytics.
- Support translation strategy and networking.
Note: projects will be required to report on outcomes within the first 12 months. Projects will not receive funding beyond 12 months. Participants can continue to participate in the CfA at a cost-recovery rate for services beyond the allotted amount and agreed-upon timeline.
