This program funds the development of new sensor technologies and bioelectronic devices to measure and synchronize behavior-related data with brain recordings. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, governments, tribal governments, federal entities, foreign organizations, and faith-based or community-based organizations. NIH expects to fund 6 to 8 awards for each receipt date, with about $10 million total committed, and application budgets are not limited but must fit the project. No cost sharing is required, the project period can be up to 5 years, and foreign organizations and foreign components of U.S. organizations are allowed.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
This NOFO solicits applications for next generation sensor and bioelectronic device development that will synchronize with brain recordings. The sensor and neural recording data will be used to generate new computational models of behavior in human and animal models. There has been a lack of quantitative approaches and models to understand the complexity of human and animal behavior in naturalistic settings. This NOFO focuses on the development of next generation sensors to acquire data and synchronize it with simultaneous brain recordings to build computational models.
