This is a Request for Information (RFI) from the NIH BRAIN Initiative that solicits input about advancing human neuroscience research on brain-behavior relationships through coordinated efforts involving neural stimulation and recording. This RFI seeks input from scientific research communities, healthcare providers, patient advocacy groups, people with lived experience of brain or behavioral health disorders, educators, and other interested parties. The NIH encourages organizations (e.g., patient advocacy groups, professional organizations) to submit a single response reflective of the views of the organization and membership as a whole.

The purpose of this notice is to inform applicants of a clarification to the Award Budget for RFA-NS-24-014 "NIH Blueprint and BRAIN Initiative Program for Enhancing Neuroscience Diversity through Undergraduate Research Education Experiences (BP BRAIN-ENDURE) (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)".

The purpose of this notice is to extend RFA-NS-24-028BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales Data Coordinating Center (BRAIN CONNECTS DCC) (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) by one additional council round. An additional receipt date, August 21, 2024, has been added and the new expiration date is August 22, 2024.

This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) encourages the translation of the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative-supported technologies from academic and other non-small business research sectors to the marketplace. Small Business Concerns (SBCs) are encouraged to submit Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant applications that propose to further develop, optimize, validate and scale such technologies for commercial dissemination. Additionally, SBIR and STTR applications supporting the development and commercialization of novel technologies that fit within the mission of the BRAIN Initiative are encouraged.
