This funding opportunity supports research focused on the biology of high-confidence risk factors for complex brain disorders, emphasizing intracellular, transcellular, and circuit mechanisms of neural function. Funded studies may be hypothesis-generating or hypothesis-testing and utilize in vivo, in situ, or in vitro models, including model organisms and human cell-based assays. The goal is to elucidate neurobiological impacts of risk factors and disseminate findings to enrich shared data resources. Clinical trials are not allowed under this opportunity.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of U.S. organizations such as nonprofits, small businesses, state and local governments, institutions of higher education, tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Specific eligibility details should be confirmed with th
