BIDS grant writing kit

This document intends to convey how the BIDS Steering and Maintainers Group can support your proposed BIDS grant. In an effort to express the impact of BIDS in the brain imaging community, we have shared several of our traffic metrics.

How the BIDS team can help you

If you are in the process of putting together a grant, please email/message the pillar lead that is most closely associated with your proposed grant so we may help support this. Our organization is structured into 3 pillars: standard, tools, and collaboration.

The respective leads are:

Our range of support covers activities such as: meeting with the Steering and Maintainers Groups to assisting with connecting you with other BIDS grant writers or related initiatives to receiving a letter of support from the Steering Group.

Regarding requesting a letter of support - please submit a drafted letter of support to the collaboration lead (???) so we may review internally.

Please include how you plan on giving back to the BIDS community. The primary mechanism is to support a member of your team to become a BIDS Maintainer. Letters of support are approved by the Steering Group. This process may take 2-4 weeks to complete.

We kindly ask you to please share your grant online - successful or not. This will signal to the rest of the community what avenues we have pursued and what our fellow colleagues are planning on doing next. These can be grants that directly extend our support into a new domain, grants that help BIDS (for example OpenNeuro), or unsuccessful grant applications. For example, please find our NIH-R24 Brain Initiative BIDS-Derivatives grant.

Measuring BIDS Impact

Impact summary

Since its origin, the BIDS has revolutionized the way in which neuroimaging research is done.

~??? users visiting the website, and ~??? users exploring the BIDS Specification, over the past ??? months.

Currently, ??? reported centers, institutes and databases around the world that have implemented BIDS as their organizational structure.

Website and Specification traffic dashboards

In order to measure the volume of traffic to our website and the ReadTheDocs rendering of the specification, we utilize Google Analytics.

For visualizing our metrics, we have put together 2 dashboards:

  1. the website
  2. the specification

The default time period is set to the past 6 months. This can be changed by adjusting the time period in the upper left corner. Please feel free to use any of these figures in your grant! If there are additional statistics not currently conveyed, please reach out to (???).

BIDS usage

We ran a survey in June 2019 to evaluate the uptake of BIDS in the community. We received feedback from 116 global researchers.

We have a google doc that is crowdsourcing imaging centers, institutes, databases around the world that have implemented BIDS as their organizational structure.
