Part 2. Full Text of Announcement
Section I. Funding Opportunity Description

The Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC) (http://www.nitrc.org), originally funded by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research in 2006, is a dynamic inventory of web-based neuroimaging informatics resources: software, data, and tools accessible via any computer connected to the internet. The purpose of the NITRC project is to promote the enhancement, sharing, adoption, and evolution of neuroimaging informatics tools and resources by providing access, information, and forums for interaction for the user community and the associated developers. The NITRC project was designed to improve scientific research and promote sharing of previously funded research and initiatives and to encourage community interaction and collaboration. NITRC facilitates finding and comparing neuroimaging resources for functional and structural neuroimaging analyses. The goals of NITRC are to catalog and point to standardized information about neuroimaging tools, or resources. In 2011, the scope of NITRC was expanded to provide enhanced services such as virtual computing, and data storage.

The functionality of the Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC) has enabled three distinct components to flourish

  • NITRC-R: the NITRC resource for software and tool exchange.
  • NITRC-IR: the NITRC image repository of publicly accessible, anonymized, and curated, clinical neuroimaging data.
  • NITRC-CE: the NITRC compute environment permitting researchers around the globe the ability to do computations on neuroimaging datasets.

NITRC-R has become the major web-based collaborative environment enabling the distribution, enhancement, and adoption of neuroinformatics resources. It currently hosts more than 748 tools and resources in areas such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), multi-modal, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography (PET / SPECT), computed tomography (CT), clinical neuroinformatics, imaging genomics, optical imaging, and computation neuroscience.

NITRC-IR currently comprises a curated repository of more than 6,000 human subjects' DICOM and NIfTI-1 images, which are searchable by metadata such as handedness, gender, and grouping. This data is registered on INCF Dataspace and is a Tier 3 resource on the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF). NITRC-IR is the data repository for the 1000 Functional Connectomes (resting state), the ABIDE study (resting state), CANDIShare (T1 and manual segmentations), ADHD200 (resting state), INDI NKI/Rockland (resting state), PING (structural, diffusion, and resting state), CoRR (test-retest reliability and reproducibility), as well as international studies such as Beijing Enhanced DTI, Beijing Eyes Open Eyes Closed, Beijing Short TR study, Study Forrest rev003 (structural brain scans, physiological measurements, technical confounds), IXI study (normal, healthy subjects MRI scans).

NITRC-CE is an on-demand, virtual computing platform built upon a NeuroDebian operating system. It is pre-configured with a number of neuroimaging applications (for example, AFNI, FSL, etc.). NITRC-CE can be implemented by researchers within their academic infrastructure, or there are implementations made available through commercial cloud providers (such as Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft VM Depot).

Objectives

The objectives of this FOA are to:

  • Maintain the NITRC-R resources and tools
  • Maintain the NITRC-IR image repository
  • Maintain the NITRC-CE compute environment
  • Provide support for the current NITRC production and development environments
  • Provide support for the operation of core services such as the systems used to perform regular software updates for the compute environments, curate data coming to the image repository, and streamlining the tools and resources.
  • Provide user training and support on the use of NITRC.
  • Identify and add relevant neuroimaging datasets and neuroimaging informatics tools and resources.
  • Work with subject matter experts to identify new neuroinformatics areas of focus for NITRC.org to include on its site.

Section VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices

If the application is under consideration for funding, NIH will request "just-in-time" information from the applicant as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.

A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award (NoA) will be provided to the applicant organization for successful applications. The NoA signed by the grants management officer is the authorizing document and will be sent via email to the grantee’s business official.

Awardees must comply with any funding restrictions described in Section IV.5. Funding Restrictions. Selection of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk. These costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs.

Any application awarded in response to this FOA will be subject to terms and conditions found on the Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants website. This includes any recent legislation and policy applicable to awards that is highlighted on this website.

2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements

All NIH grant and cooperative agreement awards include the NIH Grants Policy Statement as part of the NoA. For these terms of award, see the NIH Grants Policy Statement Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart A: General and Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart B: Terms and Conditions for Specific Types of Grants, Grantees, and Activities. More information is provided at Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants.

Recipients of federal financial assistance (FFA) from HHS must administer their programs in compliance with federal civil rights law. This means that recipients of HHS funds must ensure equal access to their programs without regard to a person’s race, color, national origin, disability, age and, in some circumstances, sex and religion. This includes ensuring your programs are accessible to persons with limited English proficiency. HHS recognizes that research projects are often limited in scope for many reasons that are nondiscriminatory, such as the principal investigator’s scientific interest, funding limitations, recruitment requirements, and other considerations. Thus, criteria in research protocols that target or exclude certain populations are warranted where nondiscriminatory justifications establish that such criteria are appropriate with respect to the health or safety of the subjects, the scientific study design, or the purpose of the research.

For additional guidance regarding how the provisions apply to NIH grant programs, please contact the Scientific/Research Contact that is identified in Section VII under Agency Contacts of this FOA. HHS provides general guidance to recipients of FFA on meeting their legal obligation to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs by persons with limited English proficiency. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/resources/laws/revisedlep.html. The HHS Office for Civil Rights also provides guidance on complying with civil rights laws enforced by HHS. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/section1557/index.html; and http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/index.html. Recipients of FFA also have specific legal obligations for serving qualified individuals with disabilities. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/disability/index.html. Please contact the HHS Office for Civil Rights for more information about obligations and prohibitions under federal civil rights laws at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/office/about/rgn-hqaddresses.html or call 1-800-368-1019 or TDD 1-800-537-7697. Also note it is an HHS Departmental goal to ensure access to quality, culturally competent care, including long-term services and supports, for vulnerable populations. For further guidance on providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services, recipients should review the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care at http://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=2&lvlid=53.

Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions of Award

The following special terms of award are in addition to, and not in lieu of, otherwise applicable U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) administrative guidelines, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) grant administration regulations at 45 CFR Part 75, and other HHS, PHS, and NIH grant administration policies.

The administrative and funding instrument used for this program will be the cooperative agreement, an "assistance" mechanism (rather than an "acquisition" mechanism), in which substantial NIH programmatic involvement with the awardees is anticipated during the performance of the activities. Under the cooperative agreement, the NIH purpose is to support and stimulate the recipients' activities by involvement in and otherwise working jointly with the award recipients in a partnership role; it is not to assume direction, prime responsibility, or a dominant role in the activities. Consistent with this concept, the dominant role and prime responsibility resides with the awardees for the project as a whole, although specific tasks and activities may be shared among the awardees and the NIH as defined below.

The PD(s)/PI(s) will have the primary responsibility for:

  • Resource Curation, Maintenance, and Support

Maintenance and upkeep of the NITRC - R resource
Provide a plan to curate and maintain the contents of the NITRC-R resource. This involves curation of new tools and resources that have been identified by contributors, curation of resources that have been flagged by one of NITRC's validation pipelines, updates and fixes to tools and resources based on user feedback, and via communication with resource providers. Such tasks would mainly include support maintenance of existing tools and resources. This would also include providing the users with a friendly user interface to search, browse, filter, and compare tools and resources.

Maintenance and upkeep of the NITRC-IR database
Provide a plan to curate and maintain the contents of the NITRC-IR database. This involves updates and fixes to data sources interoperability and linkout descriptions, curation and maintenance of data source views and integrated views, troubleshooting problem data sources, and curation of prioritized data sources from the user community and the NIH.

Maintenance and upkeep of the NITRC-CE platform
Provide a plan to curate and maintain the NITRC-CE platform. This includes maintaining and updating on an as-needed basis the cloud-based virtual machine installations of neuroimaging and neuroinformatics tools.

  • Infrastructure, Maintenance, and Support:

Infrastructure maintenance
Detail a plan to support the current NITRC production and development environments. This includes ensuring that the NITRC website continues to be compatible with the newest releases of all major web browsers, is a web service interface for automated interactions, and allows for easy scalability for use beyond tools/resources currently present.

Maintenance Operation of production services
Explain how operations of core website will be maintained to ensure that it is fully available with an uptime of 99.5% or better, on a 24-hour basis. Explain how critical bugs will be fixed to enable smooth functioning of NITRC. Also provide plan for incremental and full website data backup, and timely hardware upgrading to ensure adequate storage and full access.

Core services support
Explain how core services will be supported. This includes ensuring timely hardware and software updates, providing users means to select amongst neuroimaging tools and resources (e.g. using rating system, usage statistics, comparative metrics, data sheets, user guides, etc.), and providing means to upload and update new tools or resources. It also includes maintaining and updating the cloud-based federated neuroimaging data storage system. It also includes implementing and maintaining virtual machine installations of a set of selected neuroimaging and neuroinformatics tools to enable neuroscience data analysis in the cloud environment.

  • Identify areas of coverage in neuroinformatics

Identify and add data and tools/resources
Need to identify, solicit, evaluate, and integrate the neuroimaging informatics tools and resources for expanded scope. Such tools and resources could be from, but are not limited to, the imaging modalities of: functional MRI, structural MRI, optical imaging, PET, CT, EEG, MEG, and SPECT. Additional tools could include, but not limited to, the following: genetic imaging, computational neuroscience (including large-scale and multi-scale modeling), electrophysiology that interfaces with imaging for structural and functional research, clinical neuroinformatics, computational neuroscience, genomics and genetics.

Work with subject matter experts to identify areas for expanding scientific scope
Work with subject matter experts (SMEs) to develop new use cases, and new neuroimaging and neuroinformatics tools and resources for expanding the scientific scope of NITRC.org. These cases, tools, and resources must be based on the needs and real-world scenarios of neuroscience research.

  • Outreach, documentation and user support

Outreach and User support
Provide user support by responding to questions via forms. Provide users means to comment on the NITRC use experience. Also do outreach by developing effective approaches to actively promote widespread use of NITRC-R, NITRC-IR, and NITRC-CE.

Documentation:
Need to detail the plan to provide the software source code and executables, use cases, system design documents to the general public. These should also include installation guides, user guides, specifications for website, system, database and user-interface design, and software release and functionality testing reports.

NIH staff have substantial programmatic involvement that is above and beyond the normal stewardship role in awards, as described below:

Blueprint Project Scientist(s): A designated Blueprint Program Official(s) acting as Project Scientist(s) will have the following responsibilities:

  • Serve as a resource for specific information on Blueprint's programmatic intentions and priorities, and will help to foster collaborations among different data, research resources, and investigators
  • Play an active role in developing in integrating resources and data across websites
  • Identify relevant research questions and searches.
  • In instances where significant involvement in the design of studies and/or analysis of results has occurred, the Blueprint Project Scientist may cooperate with awardees as coauthor in preparing publications of data resulting from the research. In this regard, he/she will be subject to the publication/authorship policies governing all participants. In addition, publications involving NIH staff require internal clearances.

Additionally, an agency program official or IC program director will be responsible for the normal scientific and programmatic stewardship of the award and will be named in the award notice.

Areas of Joint Responsibility include:

None; all responsibilities are divided between awardees and NIH staff as described above

Dispute Resolution:

Any disagreements that may arise in scientific or programmatic matters (within the scope of the award) between award recipients and the NIH may be brought to Dispute Resolution. A Dispute Resolution Panel composed of three members will be convened. It will have three members: a designee of the Steering Committee chosen without NIH staff voting, one NIH designee, and a third designee with expertise in the relevant area who is chosen by the other two; in the case of individual disagreement, the first member may be chosen by the individual awardee. This special dispute resolution procedure does not alter the awardee's right to appeal an adverse action that is otherwise appealable in accordance with PHS regulation 42 CFR Part 50, Subpart D and DHHS regulation 45 CFR Part 16.

3. Reporting

When multiple years are involved, awardees will be required to submit the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) annually and financial statements as required in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.

A final progress report, invention statement, and the expenditure data portion of the Federal Financial Report are required for closeout of an award, as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act), includes a requirement for awardees of Federal grants to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under Federal assistance awards issued in FY2011 or later. All awardees of applicable NIH grants and cooperative agreements are required to report to the Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) available at www.fsrs.gov on all subawards over $25,000. See the NIH Grants Policy Statement for additional information on this reporting requirement.
