Grant RetrieverNeural Ensembles & Used Substances (NExUS) Collaboratory: Building a Multimodal Inventory of Cell Ensembles Encoding the Effects of Addictive Substances (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
National Institutes of Health
Summary
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) invites applications to renew and expand the Collaboratory on Neural Ensembles and Used Substances (NExUS).
NExUS is a collaborative research program to decode how substance use experiences and addictive neurobehavioral states are represented in the brain at the level of cell populations.
This funding opportunity seeks applications that propose systematic and scalable methods to identify, map, and analyze groups of neurons that respond to used substances. The goal is to create a comprehensive, multimodal database and use it to test hypotheses about how specific neural population activity patterns relate to behavioral states associated with substance use and substance use disorders (SUD), including intoxication, craving, and dependence.

Eligibility Information in the NOFO for additional information on eligibilityForeign Organizations/International CollaborationsNon-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are eligible to apply.Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are eligible to apply.Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed.NIH will no longer issue awards (i.e., new, renewal, or non-competing continuation) to domestic or foreign entities that involve foreign subawards/subcontracts. All NIH-funded research involving foreign subawards/subcontracts must be submitted in response to a NOFO that is specifically designated for funded international collaborations. See NIH Grants Policy Statement 16.8 Collaborative International Research Awards.Applications involving foreign subawards/subcontracts submitted in response to this NOFO will be deemed noncompliant and will not be considered for funding. This policy applies to all monetary international collaborations resulting in foreign subawards/subcontracts, however, it does not preclude unfunded international collaborations or foreign components, funding for foreign consultants, or procurement of unique equipment or supplies from foreign vendors.
