The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this grant to encourage research applications focused on developing next-generation human cell-derived microphysiological systems (MPS). This initiative aims to create advanced models that more accurately replicate complex human nervous system architectures and physiological functions compared to current capabilities. This grant is for the purpose of fostering innovative research in biomedical engineering and neuroscience. Supported projects will be instrumental in enabling future studies into the intricate processes of nervous system development, function, and aging, both in healthy individuals and in various disease states. The goal is to provide researchers with more reliable and sophisticated tools to advance understanding and potential therapeutic strategies.
