    Description

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a funding opportunity titled "Neuromodulation/Neurostimulation Device Development for Mental Health Applications," aimed at advancing the development of innovative brain stimulation devices for mental health disorders. This initiative seeks applications that either create novel brain stimulation technologies or significantly enhance existing FDA-approved devices through improvements in hardware and software, focusing on increased spatiotemporal precision and multi-focal, closed-loop approaches. The program is particularly important for addressing limitations in current mental health treatments and fostering technological innovation in this field. Interested applicants can apply for grants up to $275,000 for a two-year project period, with applications due by January 7, 2028.

    The Department of Health and Human Services, particularly through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), announced a funding opportunity aimed at advancing brain stimulation devices for mental health disorders. The initiative encourages applications for the development of innovative neuromodulation/neurostimulation technologies or significant enhancements to FDA-approved devices using the R21 Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant mechanism. The program supports high-risk projects that are pre-clinical in nature and focuses on multi-disciplinary collaborations across various fields, including engineering and neuroscience. Essential aspects include enhancing device spatiotemporal precision, multi-focal capabilities, and closed-loop approaches. Applications must include a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) to promote inclusivity in research. The budget for proposals is capped at $275,000 for a two-year project period, with applications due from January 2025 onward. This funding aims to improve clinical outcomes in mental health through technological innovation, addressing existing treatment limitations and developing new therapies tailored for mental health applications.
