NIH-CZI Junior Investigators Atlas Builders Meeting (Participating Consortia)

Participating Consortia

Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies - Cell Census Network (BICCN)
The network aims to provide researchers and the public with a comprehensive reference of the diverse cell types in human, mouse and non-human primate brain.

Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) Seed Network 
The projects bring together experimental scientists, computational biologists, software engineers, and physicians to support the continued development of the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), an international effort to map all cells in the human body as a resource for better understanding health and disease.

GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP)
The GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP) provides data and tools that facilitate research on the GenitoUrinary (GU) tract for the scientific and medical community.

Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP)
The goal of the Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) is to develop an open and global platform to map healthy cells in the human body. In humans, the proper functioning of organs and tissues is dependent on the interaction, spatial organization, and specialization of all our cells.

Human Islet Research Network (HIRN)  The Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) was established  to help organize and support collaborative research related to the loss of functional beta cell mass in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). 

Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN)
HTAN is a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-funded Cancer MoonshotSM initiative to construct 3-dimensional atlases of the dynamic cellular, morphological, and molecular features of human cancers as they evolve from precancerous lesions to advanced disease.

Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP)
The Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) is an ambitious, multi-year project funded by the NIDDK with the purpose of understanding and finding new ways to treat chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI).

Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing (PE-CGS) Network
PE-CGS engages patients and survivors in research to address important knowledge gaps in understanding of genomic changes in tumors in areas including rare cancers, highly lethal cancers, cancers with an early age of onset, cancers with high disparities, and cancers in understudied populations.

Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet)
The Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet) Program was established to comprehensively identify and characterize differences in senescent cells across the body, across various states of human health, and across the lifespan.
