Summary
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting applications under the BRAIN Initiative to support clinical studies advancing next-generation neural devices capable of recording and modulating the human central nervous system. The opportunity uses the UH3 cooperative agreement mechanism and explicitly allows (but does not require) clinical trial components. The goal is to push the frontier of neurotechnology through human clinical research, building on prior preclinical or early-stage work. This is a federal grant opportunity posted on Grants.gov, not a traditional procurement contract.
