Forecast for BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS): Specialized Projects for Scalable Technologies (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Last verified by NonDilute: 2026-06-08. Official notice and agency instructions control.
If you're developing a scalable technology to map or model brain connectivity across scales, NIH will fund specialized research projects that avoid the clinical-trial overhead.

What this is
The BRAIN CONNECTS program funds research into technologies that can measure and model brain connectivity across different biological scales—from local circuits to whole-brain networks. This is a U01 grant mechanism focused on specialized projects for scalable technological innovations, excluding clinical trial work. Applicants should have significant preliminary neuroscience or neuroengineering research showing promise in connectivity mapping methods.
Who can apply
Eligibility type unspecified in source material, but U01 grants typically require institutional affiliation (university, research institute, or established biotech company); individual solo founders unlikely to be eligible. U.S. domestic applicants preferred; clinical trial work is explicitly excluded.
