Description
The Joint NINDS/NIMH Exploratory Neuroscience Research Grant program supports exploratory and innovative research projects within the missions of the NINDS and NIMH. It provides support for early and conceptual stages of projects that assess the feasibility of novel avenues of investigation and involve considerable risk but have potential for breakthroughs in neuroscience. The funding opportunity accepts clinical trials only if they are mechanistic clinical trials or basic experimental studies with humans (BESH). This grant aims to develop novel techniques, agents, methodologies, or models valuable to the neuroscience community.
