66--NIMH: Purchase order for One (1) Microfluidic Base

The contract seeks to advance the understanding of fundamental brain organization and phylogenetically conserved neural structures to elucidate their functional roles in neuropsychiatric conditions. It invites competitive proposals aimed at uncovering the evolutionary and structural underpinnings of brain systems implicated in mental health disorders, with an emphasis on translating neurobiological insights into mechanistic understanding. The solicitation, issued under number 75N98026Q00805 by the National Institutes of Health through the Department of Health and Human Services, is open to researchers and institutions capable of conducting high-impact neuroscience research that bridges structural neuroanatomy with clinical psychiatric phenotypes. Proposals must be submitted by July 29, 2026, at 9:30 PM EST, and the solicitation is classified as a combined synopsis and request for proposals under NAICS code 334516. The award will be administered by the NIH office located in Bethesda, Maryland, with primary point of contact Brittany N. May, reachable via email at brittany.may@nih.gov.
