The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $744,079 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Seattle Children's Hospital, doing business as Seattle Children's Research Institute. The grant, with a period of performance from March 1, 2024 to February 29, 2028, will fund the development of "MorphoCloud" - a cloud-powered, open-source platform for research, teaching, and collaboration in 3D digital morphology. This platform aims to provide biologists equitable and convenient access to publicly funded cyberinfrastructure and data resources for quantitative studies of organismal morphology, which is central to many biological sciences. The project will train hundreds of early career scientists, create opportunities for graduate students and postdocs to develop new analytical tools, and facilitate wider-scale, multi-lab collaborations on 3D phenotypic data analysis. By making working with digital biological specimen data more accessible, the project seeks to enable biologists to focus on their scientific questions rather than technical workflows and resource limitations.
