The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is offering the BRAIN Initiative grant to fund interdisciplinary research teams focusing on examining circuit functions related to behavior. The grant aims to support programs with a team science approach to achieve meaningful outcomes within 5 years. Projects should investigate circuit function in neural systems related to various functions like cognition and motor control. Applications are expected to incorporate theory-driven experimental design, predictive models, and data management. The grant encourages interdisciplinary collaboration involving experts in neurobiology, statistics, physics, mathematics, engineering, and computer science. Deadline for applications is October 17, 2017.

| Description: | This FOA will support integrated, interdisciplinary research teams from prior BRAIN technology and/or integrated approaches teams, and/or new projects from the research community that focus on examining circuit functions related to behavior, using advanced and innovative technologies. The goal will be to support programs with a team science approach that can realize meaningful outcomes within 5-plus years. Awards will be made for 5 years, with a possibility of one competing renewal. Applications should address overarching principles of circuit function in the context of specific neural systems underlying sensation, perception, emotion, motivation, cognition, decision-making, motor control, communication, or homeostasis. Applications should incorporate theory-/model-driven experimental design and should offer predictive models as deliverables. Applications should seek to understand circuits of the central nervous system by systematically controlling stimuli and/or behavior while actively recording and/or manipulating relevant dynamic patterns of neural activity and by measuring the resulting behaviors and/or perceptions. Applications are expected to employ approaches guided by specified theoretical constructs, and are encouraged to employ quantitative, mechanistic models where appropriate. Applications will be required to manage their data and analysis methods in a prototype framework that will be developed and used in the proposed U19 project and exchanged with other U19 awardees for further refinement and development. Model systems, including the possibility of multiple species ranging from invertebrates to humans, can be employed and should be appropriately justified. Budgets should be commensurate with multi-component teams of research expertise including neurobiologists, statisticians, physicists, mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists, and data scientists, as appropriate – that seek to cross boundaries of interdisciplinary collaboration. |
