The National Institutes of Health is offering the BRAIN Initiative: TargetedBCP Grant to support research projects focusing on understanding how circuit activity influences mental experience and behavior. Projects should aim to produce meaningful outcomes within 5 years, addressing circuit function in specific neural systems like sensation, perception, and decision-making. Applicants are encouraged to integrate theory, data analysis, and experimental design to create predictive models. Utilizing non-human animal species is permissible to uncover general principles about behavioral circuits. The deadline for applications is March 15, 2018.

| Description: | This FOA solicits applications for research projects that use innovative and methodologically-integrated approaches to understand how circuit activity gives rise to mental experience and behavior. The goal is to support projects that can realize a meaningful outcome within 5 years. Applications should address circuit function in the context of specific neural systems such as sensation, perception, attention, reasoning, intention, decision-making, emotion, navigation, communication, or homeostasis. Projects should link theory and data analysis to experimental design and should produce predictive models as deliverables. Projects should aim to improve the understanding of circuits of the central nervous system by systematically controlling stimuli and/or behavior while actively recording and/or manipulating dynamic patterns of neural activity. Projects can use non-human animal species, and applications should explain how the selected species offers ideal conditions for revealing general principles about the circuit basis of a specific behavior. |
