This grant is part of the BRAIN Initiative, aiming to help smaller or less-funded institutions get access to advanced brain research tools. It's designed to support partnerships between these institutions and experts who already use BRAIN technologies. The goal is to spread knowledge and increase participation in brain research at these resource-limited institutions.
Who it's for: This grant is for principal investigators (PIs) at institutions that typically don't receive much funding from the NIH. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations such as nonprofits, public and private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and various government entities. The key is that the institution should be resource-limited and interested in adopting BRAIN Initiative technologies.
