This opportunity is a forecasted research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), led by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and supported by multiple NIH Institutes and Centers. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH), including NINDS, NEI, NIA, NIAAA, NIBIB, NICHD, NIDCD, NIDA, NIMH, NCCIH, and OBSSR - Products/Services Requested: - Multidisciplinary research projects to advance understanding of how the nervous system produces mental experience and behavior - Integration of expertise across molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral, computational, and theoretical neuroscience, as well as engineering and data science - Projects must connect large-scale circuit component data, in vivo CNS recordings, and behavioral analyses - May include development of new tools to address research challenges - Unique/Notable Requirements: - No specific OEMs, vendors, or commercial products are specified - Funding instrument is a grant, not a contract for goods or services - Open to a wide range of eligible applicants: government, academic, nonprofit, and business entities - Emphasis on team-based, integrative research across disciplines - No part numbers, product quantities, or specific equipment requirements are listed, as this is a research funding opportunity, not a procurement of goods or services.

Description

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), along with other NIH Institutes and Centers, intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity to solicit applications from teams to understand how the nervous system gives rise to mental experience and behavior. Teams must integrate expertise of 3-6 PDs/PIs to deliver fundamental principles about central nervous system function through theories, models, and approaches bridging cells, circuits, and behavior. Applications must connect large-scale circuit component information, in vivo CNS recordings, and analyses of tractable behaviors or neural systems. Projects may also develop tools to overcome key research challenges, focusing on integrative approaches to reveal multi-scale principles about CNS computations underlying function and behavior.
