NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research: Research and Funding

Grand Challenges

The Blueprint Grand Challenges were launched in 2009 to catalyze research that has the potential to transform our basic understanding of the brain and our approaches to treating brain disorders.

The Human Connectome Project is using state-of-the-art neuroimaging technology to explore the connections within the healthy adult human brain.
The Grand Challenge on Pain seeks in part to bring researchers from the neuroplasticity field into the pain field, and to train new investigators in state-of-the-art methods for studying pain.
The Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network serves as a pipeline to move candidate drugs for neurological disorders through preclinical development into early clinical trials.

Funding Opportunities
