Grant Description

Purpose: This FOA is an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov), a trans-NIH partnership to accelerate neuroscience research. Sixteen Institutes and Centers (ICs) are participating in the Blueprint. This funding opportunity will enable the development of novel, interdisciplinary training programs that integrate comprehensive training in basic neuroscience, the physical and biological bases of neuroimaging, the technologies of in vivo neuroimaging, and the application of these technologies to understanding questions in neuroscience across the life span. Each training program must have two components: a] a pre-doctoral NRSA institutional training program (T90) and b] a short-term research education program (R90) that may include scientists at any stage of the career continuum who are interested in neuroimaging. Programs may also include a full-time non-NRSA institutional pre-doctoral training component (R90).. An external advisory committee, a dissemination plan, and an evaluation plan are required. Mechanism of Support: This funding opportunity will use the T90/R90 mechanism that includes linked research training and research education programs. Applicants will submit a single, unified grant application and, if selected for funding, two separate awards will be issued, a T90 (research training award) and a R90 (research education award) based on distinct research training and research education-related funding authorities. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards: The participating Institutes have committed approximately $1.3M to support this FOA in FY11. However, the total amount awarded and the number of awards made will depend upon the number, quality, and cost of the applications received.
