Expansion of NIH BRAINWORKS for Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (BSSR)

The BRAIN Initiative Workspace to ORganize the Knowledge Space (or BRAINWORKS) was developed as a web-based tool to enable the discovery of more comprehensive theories of brain function through the integration of multi-modal, multi-scale brain data.  The BRAINWORKS web application (https://brainworks.scigami.org/home) produces interactive graphs to “organize, integrate, and represent the nuanced knowledge contained within the growing body of the scientific literature.”  The application is free and available for public use, and it continues to be developed through ongoing work at the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS).  The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) would like to expand the BRAINWORKS platform to include Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (BSSR) data to help to discover research gaps, conduct various analyses (e.g. network analyses), and track trends in the
