BRAIN Initiative: Development and Validation of Novel Tools to Probe Cell-Specific and Circuit-Specific Processes in the Brain
Neuroscience, Cell Biology and Optogenetics R01 research project grant from National Institutes of Health BRAIN Initiative
Apply by Monday
About
This NIH BRAIN Initiative R01 supports development and validation of transformative tools for cell-specific and circuit-specific analysis in the nervous system. Priorities include precise genetic and non-genetic targeting, molecular sensors, minimally invasive repeated measurements, scalable single-cell assays, cross-species tools, and technologies that break current barriers in monitoring or manipulating neural circuits.
