Basic Neurodevelopmental Biology of Circuits and Behavior (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This grant, titled "Basic Neurodevelopmental Biology of Circuits and Behavior" and also known as PAR-19-028, does not allow for clinical trials. It's a reissued funding opportunity that invites research projects studying the relationship between the development of brain circuits and behaviors in rodents or non-human primates. The focus is to understand how interactions within and between brain areas evolve during pre- and post-natal stages, leading to the development of cognitive, social, and affective behaviors. The research should involve observing live, active animals, studying their neural measures, with a key emphasis on their neurodevelopmental paths. This grant uses the R21 grant mechanism. Interestingly, there's also a related funding opportunity available for riskier short-term research, which employs the R01 grant application process.
