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 £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.
