The National Institutes of Health (NIH) department is offering the BRAIN Initiative grant for optimizing transformative technologies in large-scale nervous system recording and modulation. This grant aims to improve existing and emerging technologies for recording and manipulating neural activity at cellular resolution throughout the brain. It seeks applications to refine technologies with transformative potential, accelerating hardware and software development for wider dissemination and user-friendly integration into neuroscience practice. The grant deadline is on October 18, 2017.

| Description: | Although invention and proof-of-concept testing of new technologies are a key component of the BRAIN Initiative, to achieve their potential these technologies must also be optimized through feedback from end-users in the context of the intended experimental use. This seeks applications for the optimization of existing and emerging technologies and approaches that have potential to address major challenges associated with recording and manipulating neural activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain. This FOA is intended for the iterative refinement of emergent technologies and approaches that have already demonstrated their transformative potential through initial proof-of-concept testing, and are appropriate for accelerated development of hardware and software while scaling manufacturing techniques towards sustainable, broad dissemination and user-friendly incorporation into regular neuroscience practice. |
