The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is offering this grant to spur the development of next-generation brain stimulation devices for mental health disorders. This funding supports either the creation of novel neuromodulation technologies or significant hardware/software enhancements to existing U.S. FDA-approved/cleared devices. Novel proposals should advance beyond current electrical/magnetic stimulation, focusing on techniques with increased spatiotemporal precision, multi-focal, or closed-loop approaches. For enhancements, projects must significantly improve spatial resolution, depth of delivery, or precision. Incremental changes or minor software updates to existing devices are outside the scope of this opportunity.

| Description: | The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to encourage applications seeking to develop the next generation of brain stimulation devices for treating mental health disorders. Applications are sought that will either 1) develop novel brain stimulation devices or 2) significantly enhance, by means of hardware/software improvements, the effectiveness of brain stimulation devices that are currently U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved or cleared. Novel devices should move beyond existing electrical/magnetic stimulation and develop new stimulation techniques capable of increased spatiotemporal precision as well as multi-focal, closed-loop approaches. Applications seeking to develop new capabilities should focus on significant enhancement of the spatial resolution, depth of delivery, and/or precision of the device. Incremental changes to existing devices (e.g., software updates) are not withinthe scope of this announcement. |
