Simons Foundation: New Neuroscience Collaborations - LOI

We seek vision statements to identify new, emerging breakthrough areas of neuroscience that are poised for high-impact funding. We are interested in bold and cutting edge, idea-generating research that focuses on basic principles of brain function and may be overlooked or too risky for other funding organizations.  We will prioritize cross-disciplinary collaborations that integrate many levels of analysis, methodologies, ways of thinking, and scientific communities. We endeavor to encourage conversations within and across fields while bringing together diverse groups of researchers to investigate important questions about the basic principles of brain function. We expect proposals to include junior investigators from a diversity of academic disciplines, genders, races and ethnicities.

Funding: $5–12 million/year (in total for all participants), for 10 years (up to 3 collaborations will be funded).
