BRAIN Initiative: Brain-Behavior Quantification and Synchronization – Transformative Research on Behavior at the Organismal Level
Contract Overview
Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.
AI Contract Overview
The contract supports the BRAIN Initiative’s Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) Program, which aims to develop advanced tools for high-resolution, multimodal tracking of complex behaviors simultaneously with neural activity. This initiative promotes transdisciplinary research involving human subjects or other species to improve methods for capturing and modeling behavior in dynamic, real-world environments. Key objectives include creating minimally intrusive sensing technologies capable of synchronously measuring multiple biobehavioral functions such as movement, peripheral physiology, and neural activity, alongside environmental tracking, as well as developing computational approaches that enable new, testable models of neurobehavioral function as a dynamic system influenced by environmental factors. Participation in consortium activities is mandated to foster collaboration and innovation in the field. This project is authorized under specific U.S. codes and is managed by the National Institutes of Health within the Department of Health and Human Services. The initiative reflects a concerted effort to accelerate the understanding of brain function through innovative neurotechnologies and interdisciplinary research models, facilitating breakthroughs in neuroscience by integrating behavioral data with neural measurements at unprecedented resolution.

Full Description
The Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative, a collaboration of Federal and non-Federal partners led by NIH, seeks to accelerate development and dissemination of new neurotechnologies, transdisciplinary approaches, and scientific databases to study brain function with unprecedented resolution and scope. The BRAIN Initiative’s Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization (BBQS) Program furthers this mission by supporting the development of tools for high-resolution, multimodal tracking of complex behaviors synchronously with neural activity and advancement of theoretical frameworks and computational models for understanding neurobehavioral function in real-world settings. This BRAIN Initiative-funded BBQS opportunity will support transdisciplinary research involving human subjects and/or other species aiming to advance methods to capture and model complex behavior at the organismal level in dynamic environments. Required objectives include advancing sensing technologies and approaches for minimally intrusive, high-resolution, synchronous measurement of multiple biobehavioral functions (e.g. movements, peripheral physiology and neural activity) with simultaneous, multi-level tracking of environmental variables; and developing analytic and computational approaches that will lead to new, testable models of neurobehavioral function as a complex dynamic system shaped by the organism’s environment. Participation in consortium activities will be required. This forecast is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 241&284 and 114 U.S.C. 255.
