Data Coordinating Center for the Aging and Alzheimer?s Disease Mouse Brain Atlas (AD-MBA) (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This NIH Notice of Funding Opportunity seeks a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) to create and operate the Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Brain Atlas (AD‑MBA). The DCC will host, integrate, and disseminate multi‑omic and connectomic mouse brain datasets generated by the NIA AD Multimodal Atlas Projects (AD‑MAPs). Core responsibilities include leveraging the AD Knowledge Portal infrastructure, facilitating collaborative analyses, developing tools for multiscale data integration, and delivering a web‑based interface for visualization and public access. The award will be a U24 cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding of $2.5 million, a single award, and a competitive application process open to a broad range of U.S. public, private, nonprofit, and small‑business entities (excluding foreign organizations). The project is expected to begin in December 2026, with review in early 2027. • Establish the AD‑MBA as a centralized, searchable resource for mouse brain multi‑omics and connectomics data. • Build and maintain data ingestion pipelines and integration tools. • Provide a user‑friendly web portal for data visualization and download. • Support collaborative analyses among AD‑MAPs investigators. • Manage data‑sharing compliance, reporting, and transition planning for future sustainability.
