Chan Zuckerberg Initiative: Pilot Projects for a Human Cell Atlas
Pre-Proposal Deadline: April 17, 2017
Award Amount: Application budgets must reflect the actual needs of the proposed project. Projects should be one year in duration with a projected start date of no earlier than August 1, 2017.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative invites applications for one year pilot projects to develop technologies for the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), establish best practices in the field, and begin a common data archive for analysis and investigation. The goal of the International Human Cell Atlas project is to create a reference atlas of all cells in the healthy human body as a resource for studies of health and disease.   As part of this effort, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative seeks applications to support the Human Cell Atlas community’s convergence around standards, protocols, and best practices for the creation of a freely and openly available reference database of healthy human cells and tissues.
