Summary

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's Single-Cell Data Insights program funds 18-month projects advancing tools, methods, and resources for extracting biological insights from single-cell datasets. Cycle 3 (the final of three cycles) invited applications through December 2023, targeting computational experts who can democratize data access, develop analytical methods, and address biological questions using existing single-cell biology datasets.

Key Points

  • Third and final cycle of CZI's Single-Cell Data Insights grant program, funding 18-month projects starting August 2024.
  • Encourages applications from computational experts outside single-cell biology to overcome bottlenecks in the field.
  • Focus areas include democratizing dataset access, leveraging existing data for biological discovery, and developing new analytical methods.
  • Grantees expected to collaborate with existing research communities to build community and accelerate progress.
  • Applications closed December 5, 2023; award decisions expected late June 2024.

 Overview 

 The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) seeks to support projects that will advance the fields of single-cell biology and data science. Grantees will be expected to interact with existing groups to build community and accelerate progress. Applications are encouraged from computational experts outside the field of single-cell biology, but with expertise relevant to overcoming current bottlenecks and driving discoveries in the single-cell biology field. Projects may include: dedicated efforts to democratize access and usability of existing datasets; demonstration of utility by leveraging existing datasets to address impactful and challenging biological questions; and developing methods that enable greater biological insight and other major challenges brought forward. This request for applications is the last of three currently planned cycles, with successful projects receiving 18 months of funding support. 

 Scope  

 Applications for two types of grants are welcome and will be reviewed independently. The maximum budgets for proposed projects are $400,000 total costs for Expanded Projects and $200,000 total costs for Focused Projects . All project awards will be for an 18-month duration. The goal of this opportunity is to create a network of projects that address broad computational challenges and needs within single-cel
