This program funds new methods and tools to measure brain changes across longer periods of life, including hardware, software, and other experimental advances. It is open to many applicant types, including nonprofits, universities, governments, small businesses, and foreign organizations, and applications may include human subjects or animals, with at least two timepoints required. Direct costs are limited to $275,000 over two years, with no more than $200,000 in any single year, and the project period may not exceed two years. No cost sharing is required. Applications with foreign subawards or subcontracts are not allowed, and projects without in vivo measurements, two timepoints, a scientific component showing the method expands brain measurement across the lifespan, or annual milestones will not be reviewed.
