Program for BRAIN Initiative K99/R00 Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity announces funding opportunities and webinar.
Two re-issued Requests for Applications (RFAs) support innovative methodologically-integrated approaches and multi-PI, team science exploratory approaches within a broader suite of RFAs on brain circuits and integrated approaches.
New administrative supplements integrate neuroethics perspectives and approaches into existing BRAIN Initiative awards.
Congress recently passed a budget bill that promises increased funding above fiscal year 2017 to NIH, including significant increases for the BRAIN Initiative. The legislation delivers further to support NIH’s mission of conducting biomedical research that will save lives, lead to new drug and device development, reduce health care costs, and improve the lives of all Americans.

Advances in electrode array fabrication improve longevity of nervous system implants
New BRAIN Initiative K99/R00 Career Transition award to promote diversity, women, and individuals from diverse backgrounds.
In a recent interagency program solicitation, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced funding opportunities for the Smart and Connected Health (SCH) program. Related to the SCH program, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is soliciting applications directed at the treatment of pain.
The meeting will convene BRAIN Initiative awardees, staff, and leadership from contributing federal agencies, plus representatives and investigators from participating non-federal organizations, and members of the media, public, and Congress. This open meeting provides a forum for discussing exciting scientific developments and potential new directions, and to identify areas for collaboration and research coordination.
