Computational Approaches in Fundamental Neuroscience is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) (National Institutes of Health). This program promotes the integration of computational approaches, including machine learning and AI algorithms, into fundamental neuroscience research. It encourages rigorous, hypothesis-driven multidisciplinary research to investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying brain function in health and disease across the lifespan, relevant to cognitive, affective, and social domains.

NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32) is a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups, to pursue research training in cancer-related fields. The K32 award supports fellows within 12 months prior to transitioning into, or within the first two years of, a postdoctoral position. The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
