The NIH BRAIN Initiative offers this R34 planning grant to support foundational activities for developing advanced tools and computational models. This grant is for integrating complementary theories and methods to measure organism-level behavior with high resolution, synchronously capturing environmental changes. It also seeks to develop data science methods for integrating multi-dimensional behavioral and environmental data, establishing conceptual or computational models of behavior as a complex dynamic system. Projects should potentially integrate neural data or inform existing neurobehavioral models. The purpose is to support planning, framework design, and feasibility studies that will lay groundwork for competitive applications for larger NIH research awards like a U01. A Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) is required.

Description: | This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) seeks applications proposing a set of planning activities that will lay the groundwork for a scientific project aimed at integrating complementary theories and methods to 1) develop, validate, and apply cutting-edge tools and methods for minimally invasive, multi-dimensional, high-resolution measurement of behavior at the level of the organism, with synchronous capture of changes in the organisms social or physical environment; and 2) develop data science and computational methods that allow for integration of multidimensional behavioral and environmental datarepresenting multiple timescales, and that will establish of a conceptual and/or computational model of behavior as a complex dynamic system. Prospective projects are expected to be designed with the potential to integrate synchronously recorded neural data and/or inform existing models of neurobehavioral function, such as those developed with the support of the NIH BRAIN Initiative. The purpose of this R34 planning grant opportunity is to support planning and development of the research framework, design, and approach, including activities that will establish feasibility, validity, and/or other technically qualifying results that, if successful, would support a competitive application for a U01, or equivalent, NIH research award. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material. |
