# Impact
# BIDS Impact

This document intends to convey how the BIDS Steering and Maintainers Group can
support your proposed BIDS grant. In an effort to express the impact of BIDS in
the brain imaging community, we have shared several of our traffic metrics.

I think that this needs to better introduce the following sections of the page and (please chime in here @ericearl @Remi-Gau @christinerogers) an acknowledgements should be mentioned and linked? to somewhere further down on the page.

## 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 so we
may help support this. Our organization is structured into 3 pillars: standard,
tools, and collaboration.

The respective leads are:

- Stefan Appelhoff ([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])),
- Chris Markiewicz ([[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]))

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 (???) 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)

This looks much better on the render than it does here, I think stars could table could be a link/hidden, but that can be saved for another PR.


### Datasets

Over the past ~7 years, the number of shared datasets available to the public has
greatly increased. Adoption of the BIDS standard across datasets can aid in the
sharing of data and collaboration of research.

### Impact summary
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.

Since its origin, the BIDS has revolutionized the way in which neuroimaging
research is done.
Following this initial discussion, and on the shoulders of many many volunteer hours
by maintainers and the community at large, the BIDS standard has seen significant adoption
in the neuroimaging research landscape and continues to expand. 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/).
