Events in Physics
The Bioinformatics and Biological Resources (BBR) Fund aims to facilitate the establishment, maintenance and enhancement of high-quality bioinformatics and biological resources to support the UK bioscience research community.
The indicative budget for the call is up to 拢6M, subject to the quality of applications received.
Please note that all applications must have a start date no earlier than 1st July 2020.
Background
BBSRC recognises the UK bioscience community need for access to state-of-the-art bioinformatics and biological infrastructure, facilities and resources, to facilitate ground-breaking research in an internationally competitive environment. The BBR fund was established to help address this need.
Bioinformatics resources (e.g. databases, software suites): to enable management, analysis and sharing of large and/or complex datasets and development of novel software solutions that enable deeper analysis of existing datasets and greater understanding of biological systems.
Biological resources: provide access to materials that underpin cutting edge bioscience research, e.g. culture and germplasm collections, mutant lines, DNA samples, clones, genetic libraries etc.
