Today, research is beginning to confirm what many have experienced firsthand: Music can influence cognition, emotional well-being, and recovery in people living with conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
At the vital intersection of music and neuroscience, the FNIH Music as Medicine Neuroscience Research Initiative supports talented researchers who can advance discoveries that underpin music’s therapeutic benefits, paving the way for treatments that reach patients more effectively and personally. The initiative will bestow grants of $100,000 for one year.
Continued funding for a second year, at the same funding level, may be available contingent upon the successful completion of predefined milestones and satisfactory progress. Grant recipients will be recognized at an annual event. The Music as Medicine Scientific Selection Committee, a group of independent experts in the fields of neuroscience and music, will review nominations and recommend outstanding scientists for the grants.
The nomination window has now closed for 2026. For information about supporting this initiative, please visit fnih. org/music.
* Eligible individuals are independent investigators holding a faculty or research scientist appointment at a U.S.-based academic, medical, or research institution. * Nominees must have earned their MD, PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree at least five years prior to the application deadline and demonstrate a strong track record of innovative research related to music, health, and well-being.
* Proposals will generally fall within the following areas: **Basic and translational research** aimed at uncovering neural, biological, and behavioral mechanisms through which music engagement and music-based interventions influence human health and well-being.
**Innovative clinical research** that seeks to develop, test, optimize, or personalize music-based interventions to improve health, cognitive function, mental health, and quality of life across the lifespan.
**Translational and implementation research** designed to accelerate the integration, scalability, and accessibility of evidence-based music interventions within healthcare and community settings, with the potential to improve patient outcomes and models of care.

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 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.
