    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering funding opportunities through the R21 exploratory/developmental research grant program, specifically targeting invasive neural recording studies related to mental health disorders. The intent is to utilize human invasive neural recordings to advance the understanding of neural circuitry linked to complex moods, emotions, and behaviors. While the FOA aims to fill gaps in scientific knowledge, it does not support the direct development of new therapies. The program encourages collaborative applications from multidisciplinary teams specializing in fields such as neurosurgery and psychology. Key funding details include a maximum budget of $275,000 for a two-year project period and specific application requirements through Grants.gov. The application process includes critical evaluation criteria focusing on significance, investigator qualifications, innovation, and overall approach. Successful proposals should exhibit relevance to mental health research and demonstrate innovative methodologies. Through this funding, the NIH aims to foster research that will ultimately contribute to a better understanding of mental health disorders and potentially inform future therapeutic interventions.
