It is expected that the application of these new tools and technologies will ultimately lead to new ways to treat, cure, and even prevent brain disorders. the Application Guide is required and strictly enforced. To fill this research gap, this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) which uses the STTR grant mechanism, will support to support the development of novel neuroscience tools and technologies in order to better understand the structure and function of brain circuits- a major goal of the BRAIN Initiative.
