Limited Competition: BRAIN Initiative: Promoting Health for All Through BRAIN Technology Partnerships

The Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative, a collaboration of Federal and non-Federal partners led by NIH, intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to accelerate the scientific impact and broad research adoption of BRAIN Initiative-relevant neurotechologies at institutions with limited NIH Research Project Grant funding. This opportunity will enable the integration of these neurotechnologies into the research and/or training programs of investigators at institutions with limited NIH Research Project Grant funding, while expanding the dissemination of BRAIN-initiative technologies. It is expected that these awards will support two-way knowledge transfer between the investigator and the BRAIN disseminator to enable novel, sustained integration of the neurotechnology into broader research practice. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of neuroscience resource dissemination are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in dissemination and training in new technologies at institutions with limited NIH Research Project Grant funding will be encouraged, and these investigators should also begin considering applying for this NOFO. This is a Forecast for a Limited Competition that will invite application(s) from eligible organization(s) to apply. Please see Eligibility Section for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the application(s) will be peer-reviewed, and only meritorious application(s) will be considered for funding.
