NSF Cognitive Neuroscience Research Grant Opportunity

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting research proposals for its Cognitive Neuroscience (CogNeuro) program: - Government buyer: U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) - No specific OEMs or commercial vendors are named, as this is a grant for academic research - Program focus: - Research on neural mechanisms underlying human cognition and behavior - Supported topics: perception, memory, attention, language, decision-making, social reasoning - Methods may include neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG, MEG), non-invasive stimulation (TMS, tDCS), lesion analysis, intracranial recording, optogenetics, genetics, optical imaging, computational modeling, and pharmacological interventions - Proposals must demonstrate: - Intellectual merit and broader impacts (e.g., STEM education, outreach, mentoring) - Plans for data and material sharing - Strong mentoring plans for early-career scientists - Funding details: - Typical awards: $175,000–$225,000 per year for 3–5 years - Rare, multidisciplinary projects may exceed $1 million - No cost sharing or matching required - Eligibility is unrestricted

Description

The Cognitive Neuroscience (CogNeuro) program seeks to fund proposals that advance understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying human cognition and behavior. Funded proposals typically relate physiological responses and behavior to advance theory and strengthen the field through outreach and mentoring. Research topics include perception, memory, attention, language, decision-making, and social reasoning using various physiological methods. Successful proposals also demonstrate broader impacts such as STEM education, outreach, and mentoring plans that advance careers of young scientists.
