DHHS – BRAIN Initiative: New Technologies and Novel Approaches for Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System
Deadline: January 20, 2026
Award Amount: Unspecified
Match: None
Eligible Entities: State, City, Township, County or Tribal Governments, Education, Nonprofits, and Businesses
Description: This FOA seeks applications for proof-of-concept testing and development of new technologies and novel approaches for recording and modulation (including various modalities for stimulation/activation, inhibition and manipulation) of cells (i.e., neuronal and non-neuronal) and networks to enable transformative understanding of dynamic signaling in the central nervous system (CNS).
This FOA seeks exceptionally creative approaches to address major challenges associated with recording and modulating CNS activity, at or near cellular resolution, at multiple spatial and/or temporal scales, in any region and throughout the entire depth of the brain.
