The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a grant as part of the BRAIN Initiative to develop and validate innovative tools for analyzing cell-specific and circuit-specific processes in the brain. The grant aims to support the creation of new tools that provide insights into complex brain circuits, cellular interactions, and brain function. Emphasis is placed on tools that can target specific cell types and circuits with precision, improve current capabilities, and be applicable across multiple species. Applications must include plans for validating the utility of the developed tools. The deadline for submissions is March 18, 2015.

| Description: | The purpose of this Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is to encourage applications that will develop and validate novel tools to facilitate the detailed analysis of complex circuits and provide insights into cellular interactions that underlie brain function. The new tools and technologies should inform and/or exploit cell-type and/or circuit-level specificity. Plans for validating the utility of the tool/technology will be an essential feature of a successful application. The development of new genetic and non-genetic tools for delivering genes, proteins and chemicals to cells of interest or approaches that are expected to target specific cell types and/or circuits in the nervous system with greater precision and sensitivity than currently established methods are encouraged. Tools that can be used in a number of species / model organisms rather than those restricted to a single species are highly desired. Applications that provide approaches that break through existing technical barriers to substantially improve current capabilities are highly encouraged. |
