NOT-NS-24-130: Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS): Specialized Projects for Scalable Technologies (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS): Specialized Projects for Scalable Technologies (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) Estimated Publication Date of Notice of Funding Opportunity : First Estimated Application Due Date: Earliest Estimated Award Date: Earliest Estimated Start Date: February 22, 2022 - BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS): Specialized Projects for Scalable Technologies (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed).
See NOFO RFA-NS-22-049 . National Institute of Neurological Disorders and The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative intends to reissue Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) RFA-NS-22-049 , BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS): Specialized Projects for Scalable Technologies (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed).
This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive applications. The NOFO is expected to be published in March 2025, with an anticipated application receipt date in June 2025.
Research Initiative Details This NOFO is a reissue of RFA-NS-22-049 , which supported U01 Specialized Projects developing scalable technologies with a goal of brainwide mapping of neural connectivity.
The previous NOFO was issued together with two companion NOFOs (now expired) supporting UM1 Comprehensive Centers to map neuronal projections in human and non-human primate ( RFA-NS-22-047 ) and synaptic connections in mouse ( RFA-NS-22-048 ).
Applications for the upcoming reissued U01 Specialized Projects NOFO are especially encouraged to offer distinct capabilities and competencies complementing existing BRAIN CONNECTS awards, and potential applicants are encouraged to use NIH RePORTER to retrieve information on awards from each of the three previous NOFOs.
This NOFO will solicit projects developing scalable methods for mapping brain connectivity, applied to any aspect of the pipeline, from tissue processing to imaging, alignment, segmentation and annotation, error correction, and integration into the larger neuroscience data environment.
Although human, non-human primate and mouse are the focus of the BRAIN CONNECTS program, Specialized Projects may use other species for validation if well justified.
Awards from this NOFO will be integrated into the BRAIN CONNECTS Network, a coordinated effort of awards from the previous three NOFOs aimed at developing the research capacity and technical capabilities to generate wiring diagrams that can span entire brains across multiple scales.
The overarching objective of the first five years of the program is to develop these capabilities through innovation and iterative engineering of technologies including tissue processing, imaging, data analysis, dissemination, and application to fundamental questions of nervous system function.
Expected Number of Awards Primary Assistance Listing Number(s) Anticipated Eligible Organizations Public/State Controlled Institution of Higher Education Private Institution of Higher Education Nonprofit with 501(c)(3) IRS Status (Other than Institution of Higher Education) For-Profit Organization (Other than Small Business) Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Federally Recognized) Independent school districts Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities Indian/Native American Tribally Designated Organization (Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) U.S. Territory or Possession Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Other than Federally Recognized) Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entity (Foreign Organization) Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government Applications are not being solicited at this time.

PA-27-037 consolidates the Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Transition Award into a single parent announcement across 20 NIH components, with the next deadline December 8, 2026. The eligibility gate is not the science — it is a mandatory change of institution and mentor between the F99 and K00 phases.
Read articleA draft executive order would have put OMB Director Russell Vought on a commission with final say over NIH awards after peer review. Sen. Collins killed it by pointing at a provision Congress already passed. Here is what the episode teaches applicants about the December 11 cliff.
Read articlePA-27-034, PA-27-035 and PA-27-036 replace the institute-specific R25 announcements that research education programs have been built around for a decade. NCI, NIDA and NIGMS have already expired theirs early. Here is what the consolidation actually changes: an 8% indirect cost ceiling, a US-citizens-and-permanent-residents participant rule, a cooperative agreement variant that only exists on one of the three, and no clinical-trial-allowed companion anywhere.
