Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to support basic and translational research on the neurobiology of sex differences. Specifically, NIMH and ORWH solicit Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant applications that explicitly test hypotheses regarding neural mechanisms underlying sex differences relevant to mental health. Applications should articulate a strong rationale for how the proposed project will significantly advance our understanding of the etiology and/or underlying pathophysiology of mental disorders in males and females.
