Introducing students to a new open database, dataset, or tool can be overwhelming. In an effort to support instructors in selecting an open science resource that best fits the needs of their students and their course(s), we have aligned the open databases, datasets, and tools from the Allen Institute to potentially relevant core concepts and competencies from different national education frameworks.

• Core concepts from Vision & Change (2011)
• Core competencies for neuroscience undergraduates (SfN)
• Core concepts for neuroscience higher education (Chen et al., 2023)
• Overarching principles from the BioCore Guide (Brownell et al., 2017)
• Foundational concepts for biochemistry and molecular biology (ASBMB)
