The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (https://braininitiative.nih.gov/) intends to reissue Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) RFA-NS-22-049, BRAIN Initiative Connectivity across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS): Specialized Projects for Scalable Technologies (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed). This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive applications. The NOFO is expected to be published in June 2025, with an anticipated application receipt date in September 2025. This NOFO is a reissue of RFA-NS-22-049 (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NS-22-049.html), which supported U01 Specialized Projects developing scalable technologies with a goal of brainwide mapping of neural connectivity. The previous NOFO was issued together with two companion NOFOs (now expired) supporting UM1 Comprehensive Centers to map neuronal projections in human and non-human primate (RFA-NS-22-047) and synaptic connections in mouse (RFA-NS-22-048). Applications for the upcoming reissued U01 Specialized Projects NOFO are especially encouraged to offer distinct capabilities and competencies complementing existing BRAIN CONNECTS awards, and potential applicants are encouraged to use NIH RePORTER (https://reporter.nih.gov/) to retrieve information on awards from each of the three previous NOFOs. This NOFO will solicit projects developing scalable methods for mapping brain connectivity, applied to any aspect of the pipeline, from tissue processing to imaging, alignment, segmentation and annotation, error correction, and integration into the larger neuroscience data environment. Although human, non-human primate and mouse are the focus of the BRAIN CONNECTS program, Specialized Projects may use other species for validation if well justified. Awards from this NOFO will be integrated into the BRAIN CONNECTS Network, a coordinated effort of awards from the previous three NOFOs aimed at developing the research capacity and technical capabilities to generate wiring diagrams that can span entire brains across multiple scales. The overarching objective of the first five years of the program is to develop these capabilities through innovation and iterative engineering of technologies including tissue processing, imaging, data analysis, dissemination, and application to fundamental questions of nervous system function.

Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource-Constrained Settings--Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN)The Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource Constrained Settings Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN) is a National Institutes of Health initiative focused on conducting implementation science research to combat adolescent HIV. By developing and testing scalable, low-resource care delivery models in low- and middle-income countries, the network aims to generate robust evidence on HIV incidence, prevention uptake, and viral suppression. These international studies leverage large adolescent populations and innovative, cost-effective service delivery methods to create practice-ready strategies that can be adapted for marginalized and high-burden populations within the United States. The program addresses critical gaps in the U.S. healthcare system where adolescents face similar barriers to care as those in resource-constrained global settings, including poverty, stigma, and fragmented services. Comprising Clinical Research Centers and a Data and Coordinating Center, PATC3H-IN supports the goals of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative by accelerating the translation of resilient and cost-conscious care models into domestic practice. This effort is authorized under the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to improve overall care outcomes and prevent new HIV acquisitions among at-risk youth.
