The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded a $648,138 Project Grant to American University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of January 15, 2021 through December 31, 2023. The grant funds the Collaborative Research: CIBR: The OpenBehavior Project to develop a database of open source tools used for the study of behavior and neuroscience. Drs. Laubach of American University and Kravitz of Washington University in St. Louis will create a taxonomy for open source tools in neuroscience research, establish a searchable database cataloging these tools along with Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) for tracking use, and disseminate information on tool creation and application through the existing OpenBehavior.com website. Washington University will contribute staff time through a sub-award to assist with database population and outreach as the project expands the capabilities of OpenBehavior to advance open science practices in the field.
