11 months ago Jeremy - I've made edits to the Kaggle announcement that was sent last week. If you could run this for the next few weeks, please.
"SenNet + HOA - Hacking the Human Vasculature in 3D" Kaggle Competition
The “SenNet + HOA - Hacking the Human Vasculature in 3D” Kaggle competition is now LIVE at https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/blood-vessel-segmentation. The Cellular Senescence Program (SenNet) and the Human Organ Atlas (HOA) teams welcome contributions that help improve 3D segmentation of vasculature. With better data on the healthy human vasculature, researchers will be able to simulate the flow of blood, oxygen, or even drugs through the vessel network. This is an exciting opportunity to get the world's best machine learning experts aware of SenNet and to work together on tissue segmentation for vascular structures, upon which senescence neighborhoods appear to be related (in at least some tissues). The aim is to solve a fundamental problem in at least one organ, and to develop a first understanding of what vascular scaffold is needed to map senescent cells in tissue regions.
A total prize amount of $80,000 (sponsored by Kaggle, CIFAR, and Thermo Fisher Scientific) will be distributed among the five winning teams. You can join any time before January 30, 2024. Our welcome message here includes additional information and links. Please share this information widely! For questions, contact Nancy Ruschman: nruschma@iu.edu

The Underrepresented Student Internship Program provides the opportunity for undergraduate students from U.S. colleges and universities to receive mentorship and training from HuBMAP labs over the summer. Online applications open on November 27th and are due on February 1st, 2024 Download the flyer for more details.
Notice of Funding Opportunity (RFA-RM-23-013), which seeks proposals for projects that involve collaboration with multiple Common Fund Data Coordinating Centers (DCCs) to combine discovery and/or translational approaches with work that will enhance reusability of Common Fund data and contribute knowledge to the Common Fund Data Ecosystem. Proposed projects should improve the overall reuse potential of Common Fund data by developing and testing services needed to efficiently access, analyze, and, if necessary, integrate the data. Applications must involve a collaboration between at least two Common Fund DCCs listed in the Background section of the Notice and at least one external PI not currently funded by a CF program.
Letters of intent are required for proposals requesting $500,000 or more in direct costs in any one budget year (excluding consortium and F&A costs), and are due November 4, 2023 by 5:00 PM local time of the applicant organization. Full proposals are due December 4, 2023, by 5:00 PM local time of the applicant organization.
Learn more on the Common Fund Data Ecosystem website and contact the CFDE team at CFDE@od.nih.gov with any additional questions.
