The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this grant through the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative to support the development of innovative tools to target, identify, and characterize non-neuronal cells in the brain. This grant aims to improve our understanding of glial and vascular cell types in the central nervous system, their interactions with neurons, and their impact on brain circuitry. Applicants are encouraged to propose cutting-edge methods that can be applied across different species and demonstrate superiority over existing tools. Validation of the proposed tools and technology is a key aspect of successful applications. Application deadline is October 4, 2018.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement [FOA] submitted through the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is to stimulate the development and validation of novel tools and analytical methods to target, identify and characterize non-neuronal cells in the brain. This FOA complements previous and ongoing cell-census and tool development efforts initiated under BRAIN, RFA-MH-14-215 and RFA-MH-14-216, that have focused almost exclusively on neuronal cells. The cutting-edge tools and methods developed under this opportunity should focus specifically on providing improved points of entry into non-neuronal cell-types (glial and vascular) to enable their inventory and characterization within the CNS and help define how these cells interact among each other and with neuronal cells to impact functional circuitries. Plans for validating the utility of the tool/technology/method and demonstrating its advantage over currently available approaches will be an essential feature of a successful application. Tools that can be used in several species or model organisms rather than in a single species are especially desirable. |
