NIH BRAIN Initiative: Letter of Intent

LOI consists only from project title and PI details, full proposal is due 24.3
New Technologies and Novel Approaches for Large-Scale Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System(U01) (RFA-NS-14-007): Focuses on development and proof-of-concept testing of new technologies and novel approaches for large scale recording and manipulation of neural activity, with cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and/or temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain. The proposed research may be high risk, but if successful could profoundly change the course of neuroscience research. Funding: $7.5 million total will be awarded to 10-15 projects for 3 years.
Optimization of Transformative Technologies for Large Scale Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System (U01) (RFA-NS-14-008): Aims to optimize existing and emerging technologies and approaches that have the potential to address major challenges associated with recording and manipulating neural activity. This FOA is intended for the iterative refinement of emergent technologies and approaches that have already demonstrated their transformative potential through initial proof-of-concept testing, and are appropriate for accelerated engineering development with an end-goal of broad dissemination and incorporation into regular neuroscience research. Funding: $10 million total will be awarded to 7-10 projects for 3 years.
Integrated Approaches to Understanding Circuit Function in the Nervous System (U01) (RFA-NS-14-009): Focuses on exploratory studies that use new and emerging methods for large scale recording and manipulation to elucidate the contributions of dynamic circuit activity to a specific behavioral or neural system. Applications should propose teams of investigators that seek to cross boundaries of interdisciplinary collaboration, for integrated development of experimental, analytic and theoretical capabilities in preparation for a future competition for large-scale awards. Funding: $10 million total will be awarded to 10-15 projects for 3 years.
