These projects lay the groundwork for visualizing the brain in action. More than 100 investigators in 15 states and several countries will work to develop new tools and technologies to understand neural circuit function and capture a dynamic view of the brain in action.
Funding opportunites for fiscal year 2016 were announced on Janurary 13, 2015.

The NIH BRAIN Initiative has released three funding opportunity announcements for partnerships between clinical investigators and manufacturers of the latest-generation implantable stimulating and/or recording devices for clinical neuroscience research in humans.
A central focus of the BRAIN Initiative is development of technologies for recording and modulating neural circuits. Such technologies may be incorporated into devices to be implanted in the brain or spinal cord that can, for example, treat Parkinson’s disease or restore movement in the case of spinal cord injury.

The National Institutes of Health offers a variety of tools to search and view their funded projects. Such searches can be especially useful for researchers seeking NIH funding. Within NIH RePORTer, users can search by keyword, investigator, institution, even program officer. On the second tab, you can browse projects in each Institute. The third tab is a “Matchmaker” feature currently under development. In this section, you can paste some text about your own project and RePORTer will pull up similar projects and summarize which institutes are most likely to fund projects in this area.
Matchmaker is a new extension of the NIH RePORTER website system that makes it easy to find similar projects already funded by the NIH. Matchmaker takes user-submitted scientific text, and analyzes it for relevant terms and concepts and compare those terms and concepts to other funded research projects from the NIH. Matchmaker then returns up to 100 similar projects, including a graphical overview highlighting the study sections that reviewed similar projects, the NIH institutes and centers that funded the projects, and the activity codes of those similar projects.
