I believe that more diverse and high quality data is the most important thing we need for creating better AI models for bioimage analysis. That's why we proposed BioImageNet, and now got it funded!

Will there be dedicated funding to acquire these datasets?

No, unfortunately that is out-of-scope for the funding call. It's dedicated funding to create data corpora based on existing data. Our main goals are: i) (meta-)data standardization (based on OME-Zarr work), ii) quantifying how a given dataset affects (foundation) model training,
