Overview

The BRAIN Initiative is offering a grant for the engineering and optimization of molecular technologies. The purpose is to improve our understanding of neural circuits, with a specific focus on the betterment of monitoring and manipulating these circuits in experimental animals. Clinical trials are not required for this grant.

The initiative encourages the development of impactful molecular tools that can be directed towards different types of brain cells. The ultimate goal is to build a more extensive and efficient toolkit for accessing brain cells under the Armamentarium for Brain Cell Access transformative project, a part of the BRAIN Initiative.

The funding will support ongoing enhancement of molecular tools (defined as "payloads") that can both monitor and control the activity of neural cells and can be applied to specific types of brain cells thanks to targeted technologies.
