This week, we will highlight BRAIN Initiative notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for fiscal year 2023. Today’s post features NOFOs for neural recording, modulation, and stimulation. 

The NOFOs below aim to enhance our knowledge of the brain by funding the development of tools for neural recording, modulation, and stimulation. 

This week, we will highlight BRAIN Initiative notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for fiscal year 2023. Today’s post features NOFOs for the three BRAIN Initiative transformative projects and tools for cells and circuits. 

Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI)’s Biennial Neural Circuits Research Conference – known as the Sunposium – brings together neuroscience experts to discuss the latest findings and challenges regarding understanding neural circuits in March 2023.  

Dr. Mai-Anh Vu is an F32 award recipient who used the funding opportunity to investigate the patterns of dopamine release during behavior. The F32 funding opportunity supports the research training of promising researchers early in their postdoctoral training period. 

The workshop will be held online December 14-15, 2022 to discuss scientific and technical challenges associated with three complementary BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) reissued funding opportunities. 

The 2022 Next Generation of NIH BRAIN Initiative Leaders: Making the Transition Workshop was held on Wednesday, October 26 and provided early-stage investigators with a place to openly discuss and ask questions about future career opportunities.  

This funding opportunity, with the next due date of February 14, 2023, is part of the Brain-Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) program. It will support the development of research projects aimed at advancing approaches for high-resolution synchronized capture of complex behavioral and environmental data and development of computational models of behavior as a complex dynamic system. 

Please join us in-person or online for exciting BRAIN-relevant events at this week’s annual Society for Neuroscience meeting. 

The BRAIN Initiative® remains in a unique position to lead cross-cutting and accelerated discovery in neuroscience across a diverse network of institutions and organizations, laboratories, researcher fields, and geographic locations.
