Establishing a Research Network to Guide Foundational Research on Human Consciousness
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The National Institutes of Health is seeking a cooperative agreement to establish the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research Network to Guide Foundational Research on Human Consciousness. The network will develop coordination frameworks, shared standards, and research infrastructure to advance interdisciplinary consciousness research rather than support discrete hypothesis-driven projects. It will focus on consensus-building, harmonized definitions, suitable research settings and measures, ethical considerations, and cross-training activities across fields such as neuroscience, psychiatry, anesthesiology, sleep research, computational science, AI, bioethics, and philosophy. The opportunity is listed as a $600,000 program with one expected award, with an estimated synopsis close date of February 8, 2027, and the listed grantor contact is the NCCIH Division of Extramural Research Program Officer via email.
