Neuro Open Source Software

From simulating neural networks to tracking behavioral action and movement, open source software plays a critical role in nearly every modern neuroscientist’s toolbox. Sustaining these tools requires coordinated investment and collaboration across the research ecosystem. The Kavli Foundation partners with organizations and researchers worldwide to ensure that essential software remains reliable, accessible, and ready for the next generation of discovery.

Neuro Open Source Software Grants

Through partnership with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Wellcome Trust, and the Research Software Alliance, we support essential open source software for scientists. Strengthening this digital infrastructure ensures that neuroscientists have the tools they need to advance discovery.
