This funding opportunity supports research using invasive neural recordings and stimulation in humans to investigate neural circuitry and dynamics related to mental health disorders. It encourages studies that address complex moods, emotions, cognitive functions, and behaviors with high spatial and temporal resolution. The goal is to fill gaps in scientific knowledge about neural circuit function relevant to mental health, excluding development of new technologies or therapies.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of institutions such as public and private higher education institutions, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, tribal governments, small businesses, and various federally recognized and non-recognized entities including regional and foreign organizations.
