About this opportunity

The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications for cooperative agreements to develop next-generation sensors and bioelectronic devices that synchronize with brain recordings to generate computational models of behavior in human and animal models, with applications due June 15, 2027.

Eligible applicants span a broad spectrum: higher education institutions (public and private), nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations and small businesses, city and county governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and not), state governments, school districts, and other entities. The NOFO also welcomes applications from Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, faith-based and community-based organizations, tribally controlled colleges and universities, U.S. territories and possessions, and non-domestic entities. No cost share or matching requirement is specified in the available source material.

The funding opportunity addresses a substantive gap: the lack of quantitative approaches and computational models to understand human and animal behavior in naturalistic settings. The development of synchronized sensor and neural recording systems is intended to enable this modeling capacity. Applications may include a clinical trial as an optional component, indicated by the U01 designation with clinical trial optional notation. Award amounts, the expected number of awards, and period of performance details are not provided in the source material. The opportunity falls under multiple parent NIH grant programs including the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242), Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865), Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173), Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health (CFDA 93.286), Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853), Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health (CFDA 93.213), Aging Research (CFDA 93.866), and Vision Research (CFDA 93.867).

Synopsis

This NOFO solicits applications for next generation sensor and bioelectronic device development that will synchronize with brain recordings. The sensor and neural recording data will be used to generate new computational models of behavior in human and animal models. There has been a lack of quantitative approaches and models to understand the complexity of human and animal behavior in naturalistic settings. This NOFO focuses on the development of next generation sensors to acquire data and synchronize it with simultaneous brain recordings to build computational models.

Eligibility

Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession.
