BRAIN Initiative: Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization- Next Generation Sensor Technology Development (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)

National Institutes of HealthCloses Jun 15, 2027(245 days left)

Does this fit your business?

This is an NIH BRAIN Initiative research grant for developing next-generation sensors and bioelectronic devices that synchronize with brain recordings to build computational models of behavior. It fits small businesses, for-profits, universities, and nonprofits doing serious neurotechnology R&D. Retail, finance, housing, education, and any organization without sensor or device development capability should not bother applying.

Best for
Small businesses and for-profits developing sensors or bioelectronic devices, Universities and research institutions running brain-recording studies, Nonprofits with R&D capacity in neurotechnology, State, local, and tribal governments with research programs
Not for
Retail, finance, housing, and other businesses with no sensor or neurotech R&D work, Organizations seeking funding for operations or general expenses rather than device development

Questions about this grant

When is the application deadline?
June 15, 2027.
Who can apply for this grant?
Small businesses, for-profit organizations, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, state, county, city, township, and special district governments, federally recognized and other Native American tribal governments and organizations, public housing authorities, and certain other entities including foreign organizations, HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
The facts do not say. Small businesses are eligible, but the notice does not specify whether sole proprietors or single-member LLCs qualify, so check the full NOFO or with NIH before assuming you can apply.
Can a nonprofit apply?
Yes. Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) are both listed as eligible applicants.

Summary

NIH BRAIN Initiative grant to develop next-generation sensors and bioelectronic devices that synchronize with brain recordings to build computational models of behavior. Eligible applicants include small businesses, for-profit organizations, universities, nonprofits, and state, local, and tribal governments.

About this grant

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.

Who can apply

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.
