The Stanford Program for Integrated Neuroscience Technologies (SPrINT), supported by the BRAIN Initiative, is calling for applications for pilot projects focused on understanding brain function in health and disease. This program will fund six projects, which will be conducted by SPrINT staff using multiple neuroscience technologies.
Examples of technologies for dissemination include but are not limited to:
-
In vivo models of neurodegenerative disease
-
Animal behavior
-
In vivo models of stroke
-
Drug efficacy studies
-
Behavioral phenotyping
-
Whole brain clearing and imaging
-
Light sheet imaging
-
Proteomics and transcriptomics
-
Array tomography
-
Super-resolution volumetric imaging
-
STARmap in tissue single cell transcriptomics
-
Chemogenetics
-
Neural network mapping
-
Gene and viral vector technologies
-
Stereotaxic injection of viral technologies into mice or rats
-
Transplantation of stem cells in the brain of mice and rats
-
Human brain organogenesis
Project proposals that are highly innovative and that use any one or more of these individual technologies are encouraged. The focus of the proposal must be related to understanding brain function in health and disease and must be relevant to the aims of the BRAIN Initiative. Proposals are due by December 9, 2022.
