Summary
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting R21 exploratory/developmental research grant applications focused on the development of neuromodulation and neurostimulation devices for mental health applications. Clinical trials are explicitly not allowed under this funding opportunity. The opportunity is open for an extended multi-year window, reflecting a standing program announcement rather than a one-time solicitation. Applicants are expected to propose early-stage device development research relevant to psychiatric or mental health conditions.
