NSF funds new integrative approaches to study the brain
$17 million for fundamental research in neural and cognitive systems as part of the BRAIN Initiative
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded 18 grants to multidisciplinary teams from across the United States to conduct frontier research focused on neural and cognitive systems. Each award provides a research team with up to $1 million over two to four years.
The awards fall within four research themes:
- Neuroengineering and brain-inspired concepts and designs.
- Individuality and variation.
- Cognitive and neural processes in realistic, complex environments.
- Data-intensive neuroscience and cognitive science.
