NIH BRAIN Initiative: Letter of Intent

LOI consists only from project title and PI details, full proposal is due 13.3
Transformative Approaches for Cell-Type Classification in the Brain (U01) (RFA-MH-14-215): Aims to pilot classification strategies to generate a systematic inventory/cell census of cell types in the brain, integrating molecular identity of cell types with connectivity, morphology, and location. Funding: $10 million total will be awarded to 5-8 projects for 3 years.
Development and Validation of Novel Tools to Analyze Cell-Specific and Circuit-Specific Processes in the Brain (U01) (RFA-MH-14-216): Aims to develop and validate novel tools that possess a high degree of cell-type and/or circuit-level specificity to facilitate the detailed analysis of complex circuits and provide insights into cellular interactions that underlie brain function. A particular emphasis is the development of new genetic and non-genetic tools for delivering genes, proteins and chemicals to cells of interest; new approaches are also expected to target specific cell types and or circuits in the nervous system with greater precision and sensitivity than currently established methods. Funding: $10 million total will be awarded to 7-10 projects for 3 years.
Planning for Next Generation Human Brain Imaging (R24) (RFA-MH-14-217): Aims to create teams of imaging scientist together with other experts from a range of disciplines such as engineering, material sciences, nanotechnology and computer science, to plan for a new generation of non-invasive imaging techniques that would be used to understand human brain function. Incremental improvements to existing technologies will not be funded under this announcement. Funding: $4 million total will be awarded to 7-9 projects for 3 years.
