The National Institute of Mental Health is offering a grant for researchers to conduct invasive neural recording studies focusing on mental health-related inquiries. This grant aims to delve into the intricate neural circuitry and dynamics of the human brain to better comprehend the complexities of moods, emotions, cognitive functions, and behaviors. Researchers can directly stimulate brain networks to causally test hypotheses, targeting gaps in understanding mental health disorders. The focus is on translational research utilizing invasive recording techniques, excluding technology and therapy development. Applications should address specific questions with high clinical relevance and potential impact.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications to pursue invasive neural recording studies focused on mental health-relevant questions. Invasive neural recordings provide an unparalleled window into the human brain to explore the neural circuitry and neural dynamics underlying complex moods, emotions, cognitive functions, and behaviors with high spatial and temporal resolution. Additionally, the ability to stimulate, via the same electrodes, allows for direct causal tests by modulating network dynamics. This funding opportunity aims to target a gap in the scientific knowledge of neural circuit function related to mental health disorders. Researchers should target specific questions suited to invasive recording modalities that have high translational potential. Development of new technologies and therapies are outside the scope of this FOA. |
