This funding opportunity encourages multidisciplinary researchers to develop exploratory and highly novel approaches to measure brain activity, connectivity, genomics, and other aspects across the lifespan. It supports studies on healthy humans, clinical populations, and animal models focusing on longitudinal neuroanatomical and functional changes. The goal is to improve understanding of brain development and aging through technological and conceptual innovation, emphasizing high-risk, high-reward projects that may lack preliminary data.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of U.S.-based organizations such as nonprofits, for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses), public housing authorities, state and local governments, institutions of higher education, tribal organizations, and small businesses.
