    Precision Neurotechnologies for Human Therapeutics

    ARIA is an R&D funding agency built to unlock scientific and technological breakthroughs that benefit everyone. We empower scientists and engineers to pursue research at the edge of what is technologically or scientifically possible. We will reach across disciplines, sectors and institutions to shape, fund and manage projects across the R&D ecosystem, from startups to universities, to break down silos and discover new pathways. We are looking for proposals for our Precision Neurotechnologies for Human Therapeutics programme. For more info see here https://www.aria.org.uk/precision-neurotechnologies/

    Opening date 10 Jul 2024, 06:00AM

    Closing date 9 Sep 2024, 12:00PM

    Why this programme

    Neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders have an enormous social and economic impact – in 2019, brain disorders accounted for 500m years of healthy life lost annually.Despite advances in brain-computer-interfacing technologies, there have been very few serious attempts for engaging with the central nervous system at the circuit level, where many of the most complex and devastating brain disorders occur.

    What we’re shooting for

    We see a critical opportunity to develop next-generation tools that interface with the human brain at the circuit level. Operating across distributed brain regions and with cell type specificity, these new platform technologies could allow us to treat disorders including epilepsy, depression, addiction, and movement disorders.Leveraging this unprecedented precision, we’ll look to yield breakthroughs in disease understanding and diagnosis, alleviate bottlenecks in existing therapies, and move us closer to a world in which personalised brain health care is available to everyone. Our goal: to unite the frontiers of engineered biology and hardware to treat many of the complex and devastating brain disorders affecting individuals and communities worldwide. For more information, see here.

    See ARIA website for more detail here.

    Detailed timelines can be found in the programme call information on ARIA's website here. The application process for Technical Areas 1, 2 and 3 consists of two stages:

    • Submission of a concept paper - At this stage and based on your concept paper, you will either be encouraged/ discouraged to submit a full proposal. If you receive feedback indicating that you are not encouraged to submit a full proposal you can still choose to submit a full proposal. You should note that this preliminary assessment/encouragement provides no guarantee of any full proposal being selected for award of funding.

             The deadline for submission of concept papers is 29 July 2024 (12:00 BST).

    • Submission of a full proposal - the deadline for submission of full proposals is 09 September 2024 (12:00 BST).

    See ARIA's website here.

    The total funding value is the estimated budget available. We expect to fund multiple applicants.The maximum individual award figure is an estimate only. Funding is anticipated to be awarded via both contracts and grants. For more information on how we fund, see here.
