(v) The Intramural Research Program (IRP) in the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is seeking OpenNeuroPET Development, Testing, and Support Services. In recent years, the importance of data sharing has increasingly been recognized by the neuroimaging community because of the poor replicability of findings, the need for appropriate quality control, the greater statistical power provided by larger samples, and the higher scientific impact of multilateral collaborations. In addition, funding bodies and scientific journals increasingly require that the data be shared. The NIMH IRP plans to establish an archive for human brain data acquired with positron emission tomography (PET), as no such archive currently exists. This new archive will be called OpenNeuroPET and will be an extension of OpenNeuro, which is funded by NIMH but is currently limited to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The proposed archive will follow the recommendations of international leaders in the PET field and be capable of communicating and synergizing with other datasets and imaging modalities. As a rough overview, during the first year, the contractor will define and apply the BIDS format to brain PET data. During the second year, the contractor will establish, implement, and test it. In the final three years of the award, the contractor will promote its use via presentations and hackathons at international meetings and provide a Helpdesk to answer questions from sites that seek to deposit their data into the archive.
