The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the BRAIN Initiative Grant for research teams to utilize invasive neural recording and stimulating technologies in human brains. This grant aims to address limitations in human studies by fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and assembling diverse teams to investigate high-impact questions in human neuroscience. Projects will focus on innovative in vivo research using direct access to brain recording and stimulation from surgical procedures, guided by theoretical constructs and quantitative models. Awardees will participate in a consortium to establish standards of practice, address neuroethical considerations, and facilitate data sharing within the scientific community. Application deadline is October 29, 2021.

| 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 RFA seeks applications to assemble diverse, integrated, multi-disciplinary teams that cross boundaries of interdisciplinary collaboration to overcome these fundamental barriers and to investigate high-impact questions in human neuroscience. Projects should maximize opportunities to conduct innovative in vivo neuroscience research made available by direct access to brain recording and stimulating from invasive surgical procedures. Projects should employ approaches guided by specified theoretical constructs and quantitative, mechanistic models where appropriate. Awardees will join a consortium work group, coordinated by the NIH, to identify consensus standards of practice, including neuroethical considerations, to collect and provide data for ancillary studies, and to aggregate and standardize data for dissemination among the wider scientific community. |
