Dear Colleagues, Please check out AFOSR's new research funding portfolio in Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience! The Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience program funds high-risk, high-potential basic research that uses experimental and computational modeling techniques from systems neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, computational/theoretical neuroscience, cognitive science, and cognitive psychology to understand the neural mechanisms responsible for perception, cognition, and behavior. The program also supports brain-inspired algorithm and hardware development provided these are useful for testing proposed neuroscience theories and/or enabling novel capabilities in computing, artificial intelligence, or autonomous systems. The Broad Agency Announcement is posted at https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=305996 (see file FA9550-18-S-0003 Amendment 002.pdf) Awards under this BAA are not limited to US researchers. Although the BAA remains open year round, to be considered for FY19 funding, full proposals should be submitted via grants.gov no later than mid-February. Emailed pre-proposals in the form of white papers (approximately 3-5 pages, excluding references) describing specific research questions and approaches are encouraged. Regards, Hal Greenwald Hal S.
