Description
This program provides funding for research that studies how brain circuit development affects behavior in rodents and non-human primates. The intention is to help uncover how cognitive and social behaviors emerge during the development process. If your business focuses on neuroscience or related fields, this is a fantastic chance to contribute to important research while obtaining support.
The funding can be used for various research projects, specifically those that look into the links between brain circuit maturation and behavior. Projects may analyze neurodevelopmental changes, using in vivo neural measures from awake and behaving animals. This can help you push the boundaries of knowledge in your area while also benefiting from the financial backing necessary to carry out such work.
There is no specific funding cap, making this a flexible opportunity for your business. This means you can focus on your research needs and potential outcomes, without the pressure of strict financial limits. Engaging in this program could pave the way for valuable discoveries that enhance your business's reputation in the scientific community.
