BRAIN Initiative: Development and Validation of Novel Tools to Probe Cell-Specific and Circuit-Specific Processes in the Brain
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.
BRAIN Initiative: Research Resource Grants for Technology Integration and Dissemination (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This NIH BRAIN Initiative opportunity supports dissemination of existing resources into neuroscience research practice. Activities may include distribution of tools and reagents, training in new technologies, access to technology platforms or specialized facilities, minor improvements to resource delivery, and adaptations for user communities.

CURE-ND Neurotechnology Workshop - Innovative models of neurodegenerative diseases
One of the major roadblocks to medical progress in the field of neurodegeneration is the absence of animal models that fully recapitulate features of the human diseases. Unprecedented opportunities to tackle this challenge are emerging e.g. from genome engineering and stem cell technologies, and there are intense efforts to develop models with a high translational value. Simultaneously, single-cell, multi-omics and optogenetics technologies now allow longitudinal, molecular and functional analysis of human disease processes in these models at high resolution. During this workshop, 12 experts will present recent progress in the field and discuss: - What are the most advanced disease models available to date? - Which aspects of the human disease do these accurately models, which ones do they fail to replicate? - How should models be validated? Against which reference, which standards? - What are currently the best methods to analyse these models? - What is the field still missing in terms of modelling, and of technologies to analyse disease models? CURE-ND stands for 'Catalysing a United Response in Europe to Neurodegenerative Diseases'. It is a new alliance between the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), the Paris Brain Institute (ICM), Mission Lucidity (ML, a partnership between imec, KU Leuven, UZ Leuven and VIB in Belgium) and the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI). Together, these partners embrace a joint effort to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and nurture breakthroughs in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. This Neurotechnology Workshop is the first in a series of joint events aiming at exchanging expertise, promoting scientific collaboration and building a strong community of neurodegeneration researchers in Europe and beyond.
