Notices of Funding Opportunities

The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is aimed at revolutionizing neuroscience through development and application of innovative technologies to map neural circuits, monitor and modulate their activity, and understand how they contribute to thoughts, sensations, emotions, and behaviors. NIH has issued a variety of Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) that will support projects that apply technologies to understand neural circuit function in the context of specific circuits, resulting in a diverse portfolio of research into the fundamental biology of nervous system function.

This notice alerts applicants about an upcoming Pre-Application and Technical Assistance Webinar for RFA-MH-22-240 on October 24, 2022.

This notice alerts applicants about an upcoming Pre-Application and Technical Assistance Webinar for RFA-MH-22-240 on September 22, 2022.

The purpose of this notice is to correct the key dates section of RFA-NS-22-040 "BRAIN Initiative: Team-Research BRAIN Circuit Programs - TeamBCP (U19 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)".

This BRAIN Initiative FOA is to further develop molecular tools of high impact that are targetable to brain cell types for the monitoring and manipulation of neural circuits in experimental animals. This FOA is part of the BRAIN Initiative Armamentarium for Brain Cell Access transformative project. This will support iterative improvement of molecular payloads capable of monitoring and manipulating neural cell activity and that can be delivered to specific brain cell types using targeting technologies.

The NIH Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative intends to issue RFA-EB-22-001, BRAIN Initiative: Transformative Brain Non-invasive Imaging Technology Development. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The FOA is expected to be published in summer 2022 with an expected application due date in fall 2022 This FOA will utilize the UG3/UH3 activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.

The purpose of this notice is to clarify the Eligibility Criteria for NOT-NS-21- 014 "Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Availability of Administrative Supplements for BRAIN Initiative Awardees to Support Resource Dissemination".

This Notice is to announce the availability of an informational webinar video with overview information on program goals, application instructions, and project responsiveness for RFA-NS-22-047, RFA-NS-22-048,and RFA-NS-22-049, which are the initiating FOAs for the BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS) Program. The pre-recorded video is optional and is not required for submission of an application.

The purpose of this notice is to extend the response date for NOT-NS-22-044 "BRAIN Initiative: Request for Information (RFI) on Industry Collaboration in Development and Dissemination of Non-Invasive Brain Imaging Technologies".

The purpose of this notice is to inform applicants of a change to the Due Dates and Eligibility Criteria for NOT-NS-21-014 "Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Availability of Administrative Supplements for BRAIN Initiative Awardees to Support Resource Dissemination".
