Yale School of Medicine helps establish neuroscience network

Yale School of Medicine, USA, is participating in a new collaboration with the National Institutes of Health to establish a comprehensive web-based Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF).

It is understood that the purpose of the NIF is to help guide neuroscience researchers to relevant information stored anywhere on the Internet. The NIF will be built by a consortium of universities including the California Institute of Technology, Cornell University, George Mason University, University of California at San Diego and Yale.

Total NIH funding for the NIF is USD500,000 for the first 15 months and USD1m for the next year. The Yale component is USD125,000 and USD250,000.
