The National Institutes of Health, through the BRAIN Initiative, is soliciting applications for innovative and transformative research projects that focus on advancing technologies to understand brain circuit function and its role in behavior. This funding opportunity is part of the BRAIN Initiative Connectivity Across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS) Program, which emphasizes the development of scalable technologies to create comprehensive atlases of brain connectivity across multiple species, primarily human, non-human primates, and mice, but also allowing for other species if justified. The aim is to develop and integrate cutting-edge approaches to data collection, reconstruction, analysis, integration, dissemination, and interpretation to accelerate the generation of detailed, brain-wide wiring diagrams. The funded projects will become part of the BRAIN CONNECTS Network, collaborating with other ongoing projects to develop next-generation neural circuit-based strategies to prevent and treat brain disorders. This specific solicitation (RFA-NS-27-015) excludes clinical trials and has a response deadline in October 2027. It supports specialized research that can refine or introduce new tools, methods, or processes for scalable brain connectivity mapping, focusing on improving precision, speed, and cost-effectiveness. Applicants can reach out to the NIH through designated contact channels for further information.

Full Description

Show more
This funding announcement, issued by the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative, seeks transformative, cutting-edge, and innovative research that embraces new technologies, ideas, and approaches to understand brain circuit function and contributions to behavior. It is a component of the BRAIN Initiative Connectivity Across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS) Program, which aims to lay the scientific foundation for the next generation of neural circuit-based approaches for preventing and treating devastating brain disorders.This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports Specialized Projects to develop current or emerging technologies to generate comprehensive atlases of brain connectivity, with an emphasis on human, non-human primate (NHP), and mouse. Projects using other species are also permitted, if their use is well justified and the goal is to test and validate approaches that can be generalized across species. Applications may address any aspect(s) of brain connectivity and associated data pipelines, including data collection, reconstruction, analysis, integration, dissemination, and interpretation, to enable faster, more precise, and more cost-effective generation and interpretation of brain-wide wiring diagrams. Funded projects will be integrated into the BRAIN CONNECTS Network consisting of projects funded under this and preceding BRAIN CONNECTS NOFOs, as a coordinated effort aimed at developing the capabilities to generate wiring diagrams that can span entire brains across multiple scales.

ETHEREAL FORGE: Call for Participation – Test & Evaluation of Advanced Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) Capabilities
Solicitation # FA221721389XX
The ETHEREAL FORGE initiative, managed by the Department of Defense under solicitation FA221721389XX, seeks to test and evaluate advanced Electromagnetic Warfare capabilities that conform to the Modular Open Systems Approach. The primary goal is to assess modular hardware and software components against realistic threats to accelerate the fielding of next-generation Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations systems. By utilizing open standards such as SOSA, CMOSS, FACE, VITA, and AMS-GRA, the program aims to create a rapid, iterative process for sensing and engaging within the electromagnetic environment. Key outcomes of this effort include conducting Technology Readiness Assessments for candidate software and hardware, generating data to inform future budgeting and acquisition cycles, and developing prototype infrastructure to streamline testing. This special notice was posted on August 27, 2026, with a response deadline of October 10, 2026. The project is centered at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska and is designed to bridge the gap between capability development and final integration by program offices.

Stryker Family of Vehicles Commercial Solutions Opening
Solicitation # W912CH-26-S-0010
The Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under solicitation W912CH-26-S-0010, issued by the Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal for the Program Manager Stryker Brigade Combat Team, is designed to accelerate the acquisition of innovative commercial technologies to modernize the Stryker Family of Vehicles. This CSO remains open until May 7, 2031, but companies cannot submit proposals directly in response to this announcement; instead, they must monitor SAM.gov for individual Areas of Interest (AoIs), which serve as the only authorized portals for proposal submissions. Each AoI will define specific needs, deadlines, and delivery requirements, with proposals evaluated under a streamlined, multi-phase process: submission of a Solution Brief, optional presentation or pitch, and finally, a full Commercial Solution Proposal. Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes—Technical and Price—with the Technical Volume capped at 20 pages and the Solution Brief limited to either five pages or fifteen slides. All submissions must be unclassified, in Word or PDF format, and submitted exclusively through the active AoI posting on SAM.gov. Awards under this CSO may take the form of FAR Part 12 Fixed-Price contracts or Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements under 10 U.S.C. 4022, with no reimbursement for proposal development costs. The evaluation is non-LPTA and based on a trade-off approach considering eight factors in descending order of importance: solution relevance, technical merit, innovation level, technical risk, cost risk, schedule risk, company viability, and intellectual property/data rights risk. Offerors must have a valid Unique Entity ID and be registered in SAM.gov, and must submit a Warranties and Representations form to establish eligibility. While no socioeconomic certifications are required, foreign-owned entities must be able to obtain necessary security clearances to access prescribed information. Payment will be processed through WAWF, and the contracting officer contacts are Marta Furman and Taylor Ferguson. The Government may negotiate follow-on production contracts without competition after successful prototype development, and no formal contract value or line-item pricing is specified in this solicitation, as pricing and scope are defined per AoI. The place of performance and delivery terms vary by AoI, with Michigan's Detroit Arsenal area serving as the contracting office location.
