Facilitate development uniform procedures policies, example data standards, quality measures assessment, nomenclature annotation conventions data depositions, so forth. Awardee members the Steering Group be required accept implement common guidelines procedures approved the Steering Group. Coordinate improve cell census data production, example reporting progress, disseminating best practices collectively evaluating new procedures, resources, technologies. Establish subcommittees needed address particular issues. Subcommittees include representatives the BICCN, NIH BRAIN Project Team, possibly experts. Subcommittees be formed to: 1) develop implement data production analysis standards including spatial semantic standards integrating heterogeneous data sets information; 2) address data submission, management, analysis issues; 3) develop quality standards methods quality control assurance; 4) develop common reagents informatics tools. these cases, common policies, uniform practices needed), data exchange be critical the success the effort will enable harmonization eliminate duplication/overlap. External Scientific Panel ESP): ESP provide recommendations the NIH BRAIN Project Team BICCN the progress scientific direction all components the program. ESP be composed four six senior scientists represent broad research community have relevant expertise, although membership be enlarged permanently on ad hoc basis needed.
