Dr. Christopher Lee Hughes is an F32 award recipient who used the funding opportunity to study how the brain processes sensory information. The F32 funding opportunity supports the research training of promising postdoctorates early in their postdoctoral training period.
A recently-issued media advisory spotlights the upcoming BRAIN Initiative Conference on June 17 – June 18, including a plenary session entitled “Building on a Decade of Innovation.” This special plenary panel will provide complementary perspectives from renowned leaders in the field who will look ahead at the next 10 years and beyond for neuroscience, neurotechnologies, and the power of BRAIN Initiative innovations in driving discovery toward cures.
The BRAIN Initiative is marking a milestone—10 years of advancing neuroscience and neurotechnology research by funding innovative projects. As part of a rotating series of blog posts, the Directors of the BRAIN Initiative-partnering Institutes and Centers share their voice and perspectives on the impact BRAIN has made on their respective missions—and vice versa.

A message to the community from Dr. John Ngai, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) BRAIN Initiative.
When the first grants from the Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® Initiative, or The BRAIN Initiative®, were issued in 2014, the entire neuroscience field came alive with this new, innovative way to advance cutting-edge science and novel neurotechnologies.
This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) encourages the application of BRAIN Initiative tools and technologies toward a better understanding of neural circuits that underlie cognitive, social and affective processes in order to inform about circuit-based targets for prevention and treatment of mental illnesses. Applications are due through May 10, 2027.
DataJoint and Neurodata Without Borders will host three exciting workshops that feature tools disseminated through the BRAIN Initiative U24 Research Resource Grants for Technology Integration and Dissemination. Applications for the workshops are now open.
Dr. Emily Wright is an F32 award recipient who used the funding opportunity to investigate how stress affects neurotransmitter release. The F32 funding opportunity supports the research training of promising postdoctorates early in their postdoctoral training period.
