Over the next several years, the FAS Research Development group will track and disseminate all funding opportunities related to theBRAIN Initiative.
These funding opportunities will be sent to a targeted list of faculty. That list includes faculty affiliatesof the Center for Brain Science(CBS) and the Mind Brain Behavior(MBB) Interfaculty Initiative. This project is being carried out in collaboration with the Center for Brain Science. All opportunities will be archived and recipients may unsubscribe at any time. For additional Research Development support (finding funding, proposal development resources, etc.), please visit the Research Development website.

OSP Deadline: January 13, 2017
Award Information:
Application budgets are not limited but must reflect the actual needs of the proposed project. The maximum project period is 5 years. Issuing IC and partner components intend to commit an estimated total of $7.5M in FY2017 to fund 3-6 awards.
This funding opportunity announcement aims to support full development of entirely new or next generation noninvasive human brain imaging tools and methods that will lead to transformative advances in our understanding of the human brain. The FOA seeks innovative applications that are ready for full-scale development of breakthrough technologies with the intention of delivering working tools within the timeframe of the BRAIN Initiative. This FOA represents the second stage of the tool/technology development effort that started with RFA-MH-14-217 and RFA-MH-15-200. However, t
his FOA is open to all applicants, not only to the current planning grant awardees.

This funding opportunity announcement is one of several FOAs aimed at supporting transformative discoveries that will lead to breakthroughs in understanding human brain function. Guided by the long-term scientific plan, "BRAIN 2025: A Scientific Vision," this FOA specifically seeks to support efforts addressing core ethical issues associated with research focused on the human brain and resulting from emerging technologies and advancements in research and development supported by the BRAIN Initiative. The hope is that efforts supported under this FOA might be both complimentary and integrative with the transformative, breakthrough discoveries being supported through the BRAIN Initiative.
A Technical Assistance phone conference will be held for potential applicants on January 16, 2017 (Monday), 1:30 pm Eastern Time. NIH staff will be available to answer questions related to this FOA. To obtain call-in information, please email BRAIN-info-NIMH@mail.nih.gov at least 24 hours prior to the call and specify the FOA number in the subject line or in the body of the email.
