Description

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has posted a grant opportunity titled "BRAIN Initiative: Clinical Studies to Advance Next-Generation Devices for Recording and Modulation in the Human Central Nervous System (UH3 Clinical Trial Optional)". This grant aims to support small clinical trials that will provide critical information to advance recording and/or stimulating devices for treating central nervous system disorders and understanding the human brain. The clinical studies may involve acute or short-term procedures that are considered Non-Significant Risk (NSR) or Significant Risk (SR) studies requiring an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA. The trials should provide data to answer key questions about the function or final design of a device. The grant is part of the BRAIN Initiative and includes a Public-Private Partnership Program (BRAIN PPP) with device manufacturers. More information about the grant can be found at the following link: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NS-24-017.html. For inquiries, contact NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov.

National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "BRAIN Initiative: Optimization of Instrumentation and Device Technologies for Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System (U01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)". This grant aims to optimize existing or emerging technologies for recording and modulation in the nervous system. The technologies and approaches should have the potential to address major challenges associated with recording and modulation of cells and networks in the central nervous system (CNS). The goal is to enable a transformative understanding of dynamic signaling in the CNS. The proposed technologies should be compatible with experiments in behaving animals, validated under in vivo experimental conditions, and capable of reducing barriers to conducting neurobiological experiments. The grant encourages the integration of multiple approaches and expertise from various domains such as biological, chemical, physical sciences, engineering, computational modeling, and statistical analysis.

National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has posted a grant opportunity titled "BRAIN Initiative: Research Opportunities Using Invasive Neural Recording and Stimulating Technologies in the Human Brain (U01 Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)". This grant aims to support integrated, interdisciplinary research teams that focus on examining dynamic circuit functions related to behavior using advanced and innovative technologies. The grant will be awarded for a period of 5 years, with a possibility of one competing renewal. The grant seeks to understand the overarching principles of circuit function in the context of specific neural systems underlying sensation, perception, emotion, motivation, cognition, decision-making, motor control, communication, or homeostasis. The research should involve systematically controlling stimuli and/or behavior while actively recording and/or manipulating relevant dynamic patterns of neural activity and measuring the resulting behaviors and/or perceptions. The grant encourages the use of quantitative, mechanistic, and predictive models where appropriate and allows for the employment of model systems, including multiple species ranging from invertebrates to humans, as long as they are appropriately justified. The research teams should consist of experts from various fields such as neurobiology, statistics, physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, and data science, as appropriate, to foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Applicants are required to manage their data and analysis methods in a framework that will be developed and used in the proposed project and exchanged with other BRAIN U19 awardees for further refinement and development.
