This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) from the BRAIN Initiative seeks applications for unique and innovative recording and/or modulation technologies. This grant is for projects in the earliest stage of development, including novel, untested ideas for conceptualization. The aim is to significantly increase recording or modulation capabilities, or improve their precision and selectivity. A wide range of modalities are appropriate, such as acoustic, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical, and genetic tools. Both invasive and non-invasive approaches are sought that can enable large-scale recording or precise manipulation of neural activity, ultimately compatible with human or animal experiments. Applications are encouraged from diverse fields like chemistry, physics, engineering, and materials science. A Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) is required and will be part of the review process. Applications without a PEDP will be withdrawn.

| Description: |
This FOA seeks applications for unique and innovative recording and/or modulation technologies that are in the earliest stage of development, including new and untested ideas that are in the initial stages of conceptualization. Some projects may aim to increase recording or modulation capabilities by many orders of magnitude, while others may aim to improve the precision and selectivity of recording or modulation (also referred to as stimulation, perturbation, or manipulation). A wide range of modalities are appropriate including acoustic, chemical, electrical, magnetic, and optical, as well as the use of genetic tools.Invasive or non-invasive approaches are sought that will enable large-scale recording and/or precise manipulation of neural activity, and that would ultimately be compatible with experiments in humans or behaving animals. Applications are encouraged from any qualified individual, including chemists, physicists, engineers, theoreticians, materials scientists, and others from fields not typically involved with neuroscience research.This FOA requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation. Applications that fail to include a PEDP will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn. |
