This site is part of the Neuroscience Information Framework effort sponsored by the NIH Neuroscience Blueprint effort and administered by NIDA. This effort aims to catalog electronic and non-electronic neuroscience research resources, and make them searchable by content and usage. A further goal is to enable more uniform access to those resources that are online.

The latest version of the evolving framework can be found at The NIH's Neuroscience Information Framework site.

This site is intended to assist with developing this catalog by allowing registered users to enter in information on neuroscience resources. These entries are then checked and formalized by curators who are part of the NIF project.

Although writing software to query this index is not a focus of the currently active phase of this project, some simple browse and search facilities are provided so that an idea of the catalog's contents can be gained.
