This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $122,677 to the University of Washington from March 2024 through February 2028 to develop the "MorphoCloud" platform. MorphoCloud is an open-source, cloud-based system that will give biologists convenient and equitable access to high-performance computing resources and digital 3D morphology data for research, teaching, and collaboration. The project aims to address challenges faced by biologists in working with large 3D datasets from advanced imaging technologies, enabling wider sharing and use of publicly funded data. Key deliverables include cloud services, analytical tools, and training to transform the use of digital biological specimens into a routine workflow for the research community.
