This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), BRAIN Initiative: Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization- Next Generation Sensor Technology Development (U01 Clinical Trial Optional; RFA-MH-26-140) is intended to support the development of next generation sensor technologies and bioelectronic devices to further the goals of the BBQS program of the NIH BRAIN Initiative.
This NOFO focuses exclusively on the development of novel sensor technology and bioelectronic devices related to the BBQS program and follows a recent workshop BBQS Workshop May 2023. This NOFO will foster close interaction between engineers and behavioral scientists in a Research Consortium. Sensor developers in the Consortium will promote rigorous technology design, fabrication, testing, validation, and dissemination of information regarding sensors and bioelectronics toward improving our understanding of human and organismal behavior.
More information about the BRAIN Initiative including existing Notices of Funding Opportunities for the BBQS program can be found on the BRAIN Initiative website.
Please direct all scientific inquiries to Yvonne Bennett, Ph.D.
The purpose of these reissued funding announcements, Bidirectional Influences Between Adolescent Social Media Use and Mental Health, is to encourage applications that focus on understanding bidirectional relationships between social media use and adolescent mental illness, psychiatric symptoms, and risk or resilience for psychopathology.
In addition:
-
R01 Clinical Trial Optional; RFA-MH-25-205 could address social media as a platform for facilitating the identification of adolescents with or at risk for mental illness, for encouraging appropriate mental health service use, and for delivering preventive and therapeutic interventions.
-
R21 Clinical Trial Optional; RFA-MH-25-206 could focus on intervention/services research focused on examining the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary utility of social-media focused interventions and services.
New and resubmission applications are due January 28, 2025, with a second receipt date of October 20, 2025.
Please direct all inquiries to Laura Thomas, Ph.D.
