This grant will fund partnerships to expand the use and integration of BRAIN Initiative neurotechnologies at institutions with limited NIH research funding, supporting two-way knowledge transfer and training.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates (Anticipated): June 2027 (anticipated)
Funding Amounts: Expected 4 awards; award ceiling/floor not yet specified; limited to institutions with annual NIH RPG funding ≤$7.5M (see eligibility)
Summary: Supports integration and dissemination of BRAIN Initiative neurotechnologies at institutions with limited NIH Research Project Grant funding.
Key Information: Forecasted opportunity; eligibility restricted to select higher education institutions with limited NIH RPG funding.
This forecasted opportunity, led by the NIH BRAIN Initiative, aims to accelerate the scientific impact and broad adoption of BRAIN Initiative-relevant neurotechnologies at institutions that have received limited NIH Research Project Grant (RPG) funding. The program is designed to foster two-way knowledge transfer between investigators and BRAIN technology disseminators, enabling novel and sustained integration of advanced neurotechnologies into research and training programs. The initiative specifically targets institutions that award undergraduate or graduate degrees in biomedical sciences and have not exceeded a set threshold of NIH RPG funding in recent years. Collaborative proposals that combine expertise in technology dissemination and training at eligible institutions are encouraged.
