While both are "spectacular contributors" to neuroscience, Berg says, they also have a broad view of how to administer both small and large science projects.
Another strategy is the cross-cutting programs of the neuroscience blueprint, where the institutes are able to pull money together to fund large science projects that wouldn't be possible from a single institute.
But when South Africa jointly won a bid in 2012 to host the world's largest science project, for a radio telescope called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), it hoped to foster a new image.
This is a great science project!
Think of the growing number of "big science" projects, from the Human Genome to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
We combined data on 12 bat species collected through a large citizen science project in Norfolk, UK, with spatially explicit housing plans for the next decade and tested the impact of mitigation planning scenarios operating at different spatial scales.
The inquiries represent a range of stakeholders that are crucial to data sharing, including a large citizen science project, a major social science data archive, some high-profile data publication services, and others.
Now in its 36th year, the birdwatch is the largest citizen science project in the world, with half a million people taking part every year.
The huge accelerator--which, if built, would be the most powerful in the world--is the largest new science project in the 1999 budget request, slated for release 2 February.
But as the largest new science project in the U.S. budget, it has drawn scrutiny from a Congress wary of the cost overruns that eventually killed the $12 billion Superconducting Super Collider.
