Description

This funding opportunity seeks multidisciplinary investigators to develop or apply new approaches for measuring brain activity, connectivity, genomics, or related aspects across the lifespan. The goal is to enhance understanding of brain development and aging, including neurodevelopmental origins of later health and disease. Eligible research may involve healthy humans, clinical groups, or animal models, and can focus on longitudinal neuroanatomical or functional changes at various biological levels. The opportunity encourages technological and conceptual innovation to improve repeated measures over long periods, aiming to better predict outcomes at later ages.
