The National Institutes of Health Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is offering grants for research utilizing invasive neural recording and stimulating technologies in the human brain. This grant aims to support projects investigating high-impact questions in human neuroscience and disorders of the human nervous system. Applicants are encouraged to form integrated, multi-disciplinary teams to enhance the statistical power of their research efforts. The projects funded under this grant will lay the foundation for future funding opportunities within the BRAIN Initiative or other NIH Institute programs. Applications close on January 13, 2016.

| Description: | Invasive surgical procedures provide the unique ability to record and stimulate neurons within precisely localized brain structures in humans. Human studies using invasive technology are often constrained by a limited number of patients and resources available to implement complex experimental protocols and are rarely aggregated in a manner that addresses research questions with appropriate statistical power. Therefore, this FOA seeks applications to assemble integrated, multi-disciplinary teams to overcome these fundamental barriers. Projects should investigate high-impact questions in human neuroscience and disorders of the human nervous system. The research should be offered as experimental projects, or exploratory research and planning activities, for building teams, generating data and empirical results that will later compete for continued funding under new or ongoing FOAs of the BRAIN Initiative or under NIH Institute appropriations. |
