This $553,708 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will support the development of community-governed standards and infrastructure for annotating and integrating toxicological data from zebrafish studies. Specifically, the project aims to:
- Create a toxicophenotype data model and ontology to enable interoperable data across toxicology research using zebrafish models.
- Develop an annotation toolkit to allow researchers to annotate their zebrafish toxicology data according to the new standards.
- Establish a publicly accessible Zebrafish Toxicophenotype Atlas web application to visually document and disseminate the standards.
The project will be led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a major public research university experienced in managing large federal research grants and contracts. This effort is intended to advance the use of zebrafish as a valuable animal model for toxicology and environmental health research by improving data integration and sharing.
