Description

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages research grant applications from institutions/organizations to develop novel, robust assays to reveal changes in neuronal and/or glial function. The goal is to adapt state-of-the-art measures of basic cellular processes or molecular events that are key mediators of nervous system function with the intent to probe mechanisms or perturbations in an unbiased and efficient manner. These novel assays would provide opportunities to measure neurobiological endpoints and build a pipeline to be used in the context of target identification and drug discovery.
