This U54 Research Center grant is offered to establish a large multisite clinical study investigating the multi-organ effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in humans. The study will focus on responses to a standardized range of VNS parameters. This grant is for the purpose of generating crucial data that will be shared publicly, serving to optimize VNS treatment strategies. The initiative aims to provide comprehensive insights into the broad functional impact of VNS on systems physiology and to elucidate the functional connectivity of the human vagus nerve. This funding opportunity seeks to advance the understanding and application of VNS therapies for various conditions.
