This week, a series of blog posts will highlight BRAIN Initiative notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for fiscal year 2022. Today’s post focuses on awards for training, equity, and inclusion; neuroethics; and small business.

Welcome to our annual NOFO week! Each day, we’ll summarize BRAIN funding opportunities for fiscal year 2022. While this series will reflect active BRAIN funding opportunities, keep an eye on this blog space as additional funding becomes available.

These notices support the BRAIN Initiative Connectivity Across Scales Network (BRAIN CONNECTS), which aims to coordinate the development of research capacity and technical capabilities to generate wiring diagrams that span entire brain regions across multiple scales. 

A series of 14 virtual listening sessions from December 1, 2021 through February 1, 2022 organized by the National Institute of Health’s UNITE Initiative to listen and learn from key stakeholders at all levels of the biomedical research community.

This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) announces the availability of administrative supplements to integrate neuroethics perspectives and approaches into current BRAIN-funded projects.

The National Institutes of Health’s Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative continues to grow as reflected by more than 200 new research projects funded in fiscal year 2021, totaling over $540 million.

The BRAIN Initiative® Alliance invites BRAIN scientists to share their tools with the scientific community via their new web form and has released the next issue of their Toolmakers Newsletter. These newsletters spotlight different BRAIN Initiative investigators with tools, technologies, and/or theories ready for distribution to the research community to advance neurotechnology.

Please join us online for exciting BRAIN-relevant events at the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting occurring virtually November 8-11, 2021.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will be hosting a virtual conference this year on November 8-11, 2021, celebrating its 50^th annual meeting. As always, there are several exciting BRAIN Initiative happenings slated to occur at the conference.

Curious about the new Human Open Research Neural Engineering Technologies (HORNET) funding opportunity? Join us later today or on November 12, 2021 to learn more.
