This opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks applications for innovative research approaches to measure brain activity, connectivity, and genomics across the lifespan. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - OEMs and Vendors: - No specific OEMs or vendors are mentioned; this is a research grant, not a product procurement - Products/Services Requested: - Research services to develop new, exploratory, and highly innovative methods for measuring brain changes over time - Focus on repeated measures of brain activity, connectivity, genomics, and related aspects in humans or animals - May include studies on healthy participants, clinical groups, or animal models - Research can address genetics/genomics, single cells, connectomics, and neural population activity patterns - Unique or Notable Requirements: - High risk, high reward projects are encouraged, including those lacking preliminary data - Open to a wide range of applicants: government, nonprofit, business, educational entities, HBCUs, tribal organizations, and foreign entities - Emphasis on multidisciplinary teams and longitudinal studies to predict health outcomes at later ages

Description

This funding opportunity encourages multidisciplinary investigators to develop exploratory and innovative approaches to measure brain activity, connectivity, genomics, or other aspects across the neurodevelopmental age spectrum. The goal is to improve repeated measures across longer lifespan epochs to better predict later outcomes. Research may involve healthy human participants of any age, specific clinical groups, or animal studies, focusing on longitudinal neuroanatomical or functional changes at various levels. The funding mechanism supports high risk, high reward projects that may lack preliminary data or require additional preliminary data.
