| # BIDS Impact | ||
|
|
||
| The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is an open global community driving the | ||
| standardization of neuroscience data across a broad and growing range of modalities | ||
| and health research disciplines. First released in June 2016, it is supported by a | ||
| worldwide research network and endorsed by organizations like the International | ||
| Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility ([INCF](https://www.incf.org/)). | ||
|
|
||
| BIDS encompasses: | ||
|
|
||
| - Over 40 domain-specific and modality-specific technical specifications across | ||
| scientific and technical domains. | ||
| - 100+ sample data models for BIDS specifications in | ||
| [bids-examples](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-examples). Read more about | ||
| the [BIDS specification](https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). | ||
| - 2000 open datasets across repositories including | ||
| [OpenNeuro](https://www.openneuro.org). Read more about [BIDS Datasets](/docs/datasets/index.md). | ||
| - Open software conversion and analytics tools, and global infrastructure for | ||
| collaborating on emerging standards in neuroscience | ||
| [Poldrack, et al, 2024](https://direct.mit.edu/imag/article/doi/10.1162/imag_a_00103/119672/The-past-present-and-future-of-the-brain-imaging). | ||
| - ~30,000 annual website visits from a very large community of neuroscience researchers | ||
| actively consulting the BIDS specifications (April 2023-24). | ||
| - Over 300 BIDS contributors currently supporting and maintaining BIDS community | ||
| resources and tools. | ||
| - Open working processes through online collaborative tools including GitHub, | ||
| GitHub Pages, ReadTheDocs, Google Docs, and OSF. | ||
|
|
||
| The BIDS core steering and maintainers groups work with the community to optimize open | ||
| adherence to FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, | ||
| [Wilkinson, et al, 2016](https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618)) and to actively | ||
| lower barriers to adoption. | ||

| ### Datasets | ||
|
|
||
| Over the years, the number of shared datasets available to the public has | ||
| greatly increased. At its heart, adoption of the BIDS standard across datasets | ||
| aids in the sharing of data and collaboration of research through the standardization | ||
| of descriptive files names and the organization of data. BIDS organized datasets are | ||
| available through public repositories such as [Openneuro.org](https://openneuro.org/) | ||
| and the number of publicly available BIDS datasets continues to grow every year. | ||

| ## BIDS History | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Since its origin, the BIDS standard has revolutionized the way in which neuroimaging | ||
| research is done. The origin of the BIDS standard is commonly traced back to 2014, | ||
| when a social media post ignited a deeper discussion about a new way of sharing | ||
| data, that would ultimately lead to a set of standards that would improve scientific | ||
| collaboration efforts. | ||
|
|
||
| Following this initial discussion (and on the shoulders of many many volunteer hours | ||
| by maintainers and the community at large) the BIDS standard saw significant adoption | ||
| in the neuroimaging research landscape and continues to expand every day. A more complete | ||
| history and discussion about the future of the BIDS landscape can be found in this | ||
| [recent publication](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10516110/). | ||
|
|
||
| The BIDS standard continues to be adopted by a larger share of the community each year. | ||
| We have seen a large and growing number of visitors to the BIDS website. A large number of | ||
| BIDS users also continue to explore the BIDS Specification and contribute to the community every month. | ||
|
|
||
| We also document centers, institutes, and databases around the world that have implemented BIDS as | ||
| their organizational structure. While the list continues to grow, an initial list of centers and the associated | ||
| BIDS initiatives or database can be found | ||

| ## How the BIDS team can help you | ||
|
|
||
| If you are in the process of putting together a grant, **please email/message | ||
| the pillar lead** that is most closely associated with your proposed grant or the | ||
| BIDS maintainers email ([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])) | ||
| so we may help support this. Our organization is structured into 3 pillars: standard, | ||
| tools, and collaboration. | ||
|
|
||
| Our range of support covers activities such as: meeting with the Steering and | ||
| Maintainers Groups to assisting with connecting you with other BIDS grant | ||
| writers or related initiatives to receiving a letter of support from the | ||
| Steering Group. | ||
|
|
||
| Regarding **requesting a letter of support** - please submit a drafted letter of | ||
| support to the collaboration lead or the BIDS maintainers email | ||
| ([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])) so we may review internally. | ||
|
|
||
| Please include how you plan on giving back to the BIDS community. The primary | ||
| mechanism is to support a member of your team to become a BIDS Maintainer. | ||
| Letters of support are approved by the Steering Group. This process may take 2-4 | ||
| weeks to complete. | ||
|
|
||
| We kindly ask you to please **share your grant online** - successful or not. | ||
| This will signal to the rest of the community what avenues we have pursued and | ||
| what our fellow colleagues are planning on doing next. These can be grants that | ||
| directly extend our support into a new domain, grants that help BIDS (for example | ||
| OpenNeuro), or unsuccessful grant applications. | ||
|
|
||
| For example, please find our [NIH-R24 Brain Initiative BIDS-Derivatives grant](https://osf.io/c3dgx/). | ||
|

||
| A listing of the previous grants can be found [here](../collaboration/acknowledgments.md) | ||

BIDS seems pretty impactful having just glanced at this section. Anything nit-picky here can be fixed in smaller PR.
