Engineering Next-Generation Human Nervous System Microphysiological Systems (R01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

This text is about a funding opportunity for research related to the advancement of engineering for human nervous system microphysiological systems (MPS). The grant is specifically for creating these systems from human-derived cells with the aim to recreate complex nervous system structures and functions with a higher level of accuracy than with current techniques. The projects that receive funding from this opportunity are anticipated to set the groundwork for future research on complex nervous system development, operation, and aging, along with how these aspects are affected by health and diseases. It should be noted that clinical trials are not permitted within this grant.
