Grant Description: - This RFA is an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov), a coordinated effort of 15 NIH Institutes and Centers to accelerate progress in neuroscience by supporting research and development of enabling tools and resources. This RFA will be administered by the NIBIB on behalf of the Neuroscience Blueprint. - This initiative is intended to support research leading to new ways for high resolution imaging of the neural activity that is reflected in electrophysiological signals. - The participating Institutes and Centers have committed approximately $1 million to support direct costs under this RFA in Fiscal Year 2006. NIMH intends to provide up to an additional $500,000 to support direct costs of grants that focus on non-invasive optical approaches for detecting fast signals. The total amount awarded, however, will depend upon the number, merit, and cost of the applications received, and funds available. - It is anticipated that 5 to 7 new awards will be made in FY2006. - This RFA will use the individual Research Project Grant (R01) and the Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) grant mechanisms. - Eligible organizations include domestic, foreign, non-profit, for-profit, private and public institutions. - Eligible principal investigators include, but are not limited to, researchers with experience and qualifications in neuroscience, biology, biophysics, physics, engineering, etc. Applicants may submit more than one application, provided they are scientifically distinct. - See Section IV.1 for application materials. - Applications must be prepared using the PHS 398 research grant application instructions and forms. The PHS 398 application instructions are available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html.
