An organization that funds research for Alzheimer's disease, provides information on new treatment strategies, provides information on caring for afflicted people, and generally increases public knowledge of disease prevention. This program financially supports new Alzheimer's studies. These research projects are selected by the Medical and Scientific Advisory Council. The council chooses which studies to address based on their potential uses in diagnostics, genetics, treatments, prevention, early detection and general enhancement of lifestyle.

An endowment that offers funding for neuroscience research, especially as it may apply to Minnesota, agriculture, or if the researchers are based in Minnesota. The McKnight Foundation, a Minnesota-based family foundation, seeks to improve the quality of life for present and future generations through grantmaking, collaboration, and strategic policy reform in the following areas: arts, education and learning, environment, the region and communities, agricultural research, and neuroscience research. The McKnight Foundation assists nonprofit organizations and public agencies to improve the quality of life for all people, particularly those in need. Through grantmaking, coalition-building, and encouragement of strategic policy reform, we aim to build and maintain vibrant communities; enrich people''s lives through the arts; encourage protection of the natural environment; and promote research in selected fields. The Foundation had assets of approximately $1.8 billion and gave about $98 million in grants in 2009. Generally speaking, McKnight supports nonprofit organizations in Minnesota, U.S., only. McKnight''s primary geographic focus in grantmaking is to nonprofit organizations located within the state of Minnesota. We do not provide funding outside Minnesota, with five important programmatic exceptions: * Collaborative Crop research: International. * East Africa: Tanzania and Uganda only. * Mississippi River: 10 states bordering or encompassing the Mississippi River. * Neuroscience research: National. * Southeast Asia: Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam only. Each program is different. Please consult the specific guidelines appropriate to your project or organization for funding details. With very few exceptions, McKnight funds nonprofit organizations only. To be eligible for a grant, applicants must be classified by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations. We discourage the use of fiscal agents.

An endowment that offers funding for memory research. The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience is an independent charitable organization established by The McKnight Foundation to carry out the wishes of its founder, William L. McKnight (1887-1979). Currently, the Endowment Fund for Neuroscience administers four awards which support young and established neuroscientists and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration: * Memory and Cognitive Disorders Awards * Neuroscience of Brain Disorders Awards * Scholar Awards * Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Awards Mr. McKnight, who led the 3M company for three decades, had a personal interest in memory and its diseases. He chose to set aside part of his legacy to bring hope to those suffering from brain injury or disease and cognitive impairment.

http://www.g-node.org/data

Platform for sharing data, with very large storage capability for electrophysiological data, EEG data is included. This service is provided for neuroscientists to facilitate data access, data storage, data analysis and data sharing. This service is developed and maintained by the German Node of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility. The global scale of neuroinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for scientific collaborations between and among experimental and theoretical neuroscientists. To fully harvest these possibilities, coordinated activities are required to improve key ingredients of neuroscience: data access, data storage, and data analysis, together with supporting activities for teaching and training. Focusing on the development and free distribution of tools for handling and analyzing neurophysiological data, G-Node aims at addressing these aspects as part of the International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF) and the German Bernstein Network for Computational Neuroscience (NNCN). G-Node also serves as an international forum for Computational Neuroscientists that are interested in sharing experimental data and tools for data analysis and modeling. G-Node is funded through the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and hosted by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit-Munchen.

http://www.cbioc.org

A tool for extraction and collaboration for data curation related to biology. CBioC runs as a web browser extension and allows unobtrusive use of the system during the regular course of research in PubMed. It can also be accessed directly (without having to install a plug-in). Automated text extraction is used as a starting point to bootstrap the database, but then it is up to biologists improve upon the extracted data, ironing out inconsistencies by subsequent edits on a massive scale. * After install, it loads when you visit PubMed. * Gets interactions from PubMed abstracts. * Allows you to vote and modify extracted data. * Also shows data from BIND, DIP, MINT, GRID, IntAct.

Gene Ontology for Motifs (GOMO) is an alignment- and threshold-free comparative genomics approach for assigning functional roles to DNA regulatory motifs from DNA sequence. The algorithm detects associations between a user-specified DNA regulatory motif (expressed as a position weight matrix; PWM) and Gene Ontology terms. The original method for predicting the roles of transcription factors (TFs starts with a PWM motif describing the DNA-binding affinity of the TF. GOMO uses the PWM to score the promoter region of each gene in the genome for its likelihood to be bound by the TF. The resulting ''''affinity'''' scores are then used to test each term in the Gene Ontology for association with high-scoring genes. The algorithm was subsequently extended to leverage conserved signals using multiple, related species in a comparative approach, which greatly improves the resulting annotations. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site

Open tools to support data management for biological light microscopy produced by a multi-site collaborative effort among academic laboratories and a number of commercial entities. Designed to interact with existing commercial software, all OME formats and software are free, and all OME source code is available under the GNU General public license or through commercial license from Glencoe Software. OME is developed as a joint project between research-active laboratories at the Dundee, NIA Baltimore, and Harvard Medical School and LOCI. In addition, OME has active collaborations with many imaging and informatics groups. While many other applications could use OME''s architecture and design, their specific implementation is focused on biological and biomedical imaging. Those interested in applying OME''s technology to other applications should contact the developers. OME work is divided into several different standards and software projects: * Bio-Formats: A Java-based library for reading and writing over 90 microscopy file formats. * OMERO Software: The Java-based OMERO software project, which currently includes tools for storing, visualizing, managing, and annotating microscopic images and metadata. * OME-XML & OME-TIFF: The OME-XML and OME-TIFF file format specifications, which are open file formats for sharing microscope image data. * OME Server: This was the original OME server project which has now ended and is a legacy product. It implements image-based analysis of cellular dynamics and image-based screening of cellular localization or phenotypes, and included a fully developed version of the 2003 version of OME-XML Schema language.
