Notices of Funding Opportunities

On October 11, 2022, the National Institute on Drug Abuse and BRAIN Initiative published the Funding Opportunity Announcement, RFA-DA-23-030, BRAIN Initiative: Brain-Behavior Quantification and Synchronization Transformative and Integrative Models of Behavior at the Organismal Level (R34 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) to solicit applications supporting planning activities that will lay the groundwork for a scientific projects aiming to 1) develop and apply cutting-edge tools and methods for minimally invasive, multi-dimensional, high-resolution measurement of behavior at the level of the organism, with synchronous capture of data from the environment; and/or 2) develop computational methods that allow for integration of multidimensional behavioral and environmental data into a conceptual and/or computational model of behavior as a complex dynamic system. This Notice provides information regarding two upcoming Pre-Application Webinars for the above-referenced FOA. At these Webinars, Program and Review Officials from NIDA and other institutes participating in the BRAIN Initiative will provide a brief overview of this RFA and address questions from prospective applicants. Webinar Information Option 1 Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2022, Time: 11 am EST The webinar will be hosted through Zoom. Participants must register in advance for the webinar through the following link, after which a link to join the webinar will be e-mailed to the participant: NIH Zoom Webinar link: https://scgcorp.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkcOGrrj4jGtBm0XWaz_OYurAyDm… Option 2 Date: Monday, November 28, 2022, Time: 1 pm EST The webinar will be hosted through Zoom.

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.

This Notice modifies key dates of RFA-MH-21-180.

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".
