About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is forecasting a cooperative agreement opportunity under the BRAIN Initiative to fund transdisciplinary research on brain-behavior quantification and synchronization, with no application deadline specified in this forecast. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), small businesses, nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), state and local governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and not), special district governments, independent school districts, for-profit organizations, Indian or Native American tribal governments, eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and non-domestic entities.
The opportunity requires participation in consortium activities. Funded research will advance sensing technologies and approaches for minimally intrusive, high-resolution, synchronous measurement of multiple biobehavioral functions including movements, peripheral physiology, and neural activity, paired with multi-level environmental tracking. Applicants must also develop analytic and computational approaches that generate new, testable models of neurobehavioral function as a complex dynamic system shaped by environmental context. Research may involve human subjects and/or other species, conducted in dynamic, real-world settings.
Review criteria emphasize scientific merit and general significance of objectives, technical adequacy of experimental design and approach, investigator competency, facility and resource adequacy, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives. Awards are funded based on scientific merit, program relevance, and program balance on an annual basis. The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.372 (21st Century Cures Act – Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies), administered by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke with contributions from the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Forecast synopsis
The Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative, a collaboration of Federal and non-Federal partners led by NIH, seeks to accelerate development and dissemination of new neurotechnologies, transdisciplinary approaches, and scientific databases to study brain function with unprecedented resolution and scope. The BRAIN Initiative's Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) Program furthers this mission by supporting the development of tools for high-resolution, multimodal tracking of complex behaviors synchronously with neural activity and advancement of theoretical frameworks and computational models for understanding neurobehavioral function in real-world settings. This BRAIN Initiative-funded BBQS opportunity will support transdisciplinary research involving human subjects and/or other species aiming to advance methods to capture and model complex behavior at the organismal level in dynamic environments. Required objectives include advancing sensing technologies and approaches for minimally intrusive, high-resolution, synchronous measurement of multiple biobehavioral functions (e.g. movements, peripheral physiology and neural activity) with simultaneous, multi-level tracking of environmental variables; and developing analytic and computational approaches that will lead to new, testable models of neurobehavioral function as a complex dynamic system shaped by the organism's environment. Participation in consortium activities will be required. This forecast is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 241 & 284 and 114 U.S.C. 255.
